Is this mold? What do I do?

[Crusher]

I went out to water my seedlings today and I noticed what looks like mold at the bottom of my yellow brain strain and white 7 pot. I removed them from the seed tray because I do not want it to spread, but what should I do with them? Just toss them and move on?

Are you sure it's not just some new roots trying to form above the soil line?

It's hard to tell from the pic but you could try scraping it off with a sharp knife or something...

I don't worry about the mold, it doesn't seem to harm anything and it will die once the top surface dries.

Awesome. Thank you. I think I'll keep them out of the tray since I already popped them in some soil, but its good to know that I don't have to trash them. They were the only ones of their kind in my grow.

A little air movement usually puts an end to mold developing in the first place. You can put a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide into a half a gallon of water and spray it on the mold to get rid of it.

Yeah that's good point from Patrick that I forgot to mention. But definitely don't trash them.

or you can almost let it dry before your next watering and use this to water your pucks

Awesome. Thank you everyone. I will let them dry a bit and then I'll use the peroxide and I'll use the tea thing for watering now.
