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?

I had mold, My flat was damp, it is finally fixed. Here some Tipps from my Hydro setups

  • The Top Substrate/Foam Should be dry
  • Let the water go down
  • Dont fill to the top
  • More Air helps, add a bubbler(no longer Kratky, but constant Airflow)

And as always, no watering from the Top.
