Hello Pepper friends, I need your help. Almost all my peppers have developed mold since my last feeding of Fish emulsion. I have all the plants in a peatpot type of product and the mold has accumulated all around these. It's a white mold, and I know many people will associate this with the soil borne fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, but I don't think it's that as it wasn't there until I used the fish emulsion/seaweed fertilizer.
I'm freaking out there as I just have a week before planting these outside!! I have fans on all the pots now as they are all very moist and I know mold thrives on moister. But what can I / Should I do?
Should I spray a coating of hydrogen peroxide around the pots? Should I just relax and pray that it goes away? Should I count my losses and throw my entire pepper collection in the garbage and give up gardening forever because I suck? Help!!
Thank you
