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?

Why downvote the people trying to help you? Seems like they are just letting you know that you can’t really fix the mold in your hydro setup until you fix the mold in your house.

It’s like banging hoors without a condom and wondering why your dick keeps burning when you pee. Fix the base problem first and the secondary problem will go away.

    I don't think that it was actually a solution to my problem. Mold spores are in the air, no matter how much you ventilate.

    They replied as if I had a general mold problem. But "keep everything dry" is not a viable solution in a hydro setup.

    Also, I don't appreciate the tone of your crass example. Quite derogatory towards sex workers.
