Hi!
I've been running a kratky-experiment with some basil in a 3l yogurt bucket and stonewool/clay substrate.
However, my household is quite succeptible to mold growth, so the substrate and the stone wool sadly received some white swaths.
How do I prevent/fight this? Removing the plant from the stone wool is probably impossible. I already got some H2O2, but I'd need to be careful not to hit the stem. Do you have any mitigation strategies/ideas?
“Prone to mould growth” could point to an elevated level of spores in the air which could indicate existing mould problem elsewhere. Could also be something coming in with the water?
Hopefully not, but something to think about.
