Hi all,
I could really do with some help please, I'm trying to get my set-up running but having some problems with mould. I'm currently using an old fish tank for a grow room thats foiled over all the sides. I have a vent running out passed the bulb to keep the tank ventilated plus, later on today I will be putting in another fan for circulation. The problem I have though is, once I get the seeds ready to go into the soil, I put them in a propagator, the humidity seems to build up quite high, but all I know is, within a couple of days I start to get mould... i've tryed raising the lid of the propagator and all but nothing works, I now have removed the lid so it's just in the tank.. but it worries me because i think the temp is a bit low for the seeds... I did have a digi themometre/hydromiter but its packed up on me now and i haven't got the money at the moment to replace it. Also I have the slight problem of no matter whether the soil is in the propagator or not, the soil does not dry out properly.. I did wonder if it was, I was over watering them but i have now started watering by spraying the soil's surface but it still hangs and I do not know why nor how to deal with it... I keep trying to get things started but seems the same problem over and over, but i dunno what to do. Any idea's would be grately appriciated. Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Rob
