So today is not my day. I woke up to issues I had not gone thru my first veg batch... who knows - but I noticed green algae/mold on the top of my medium (peat, vermiculite and lil perlite)
Humidity had been on the 55-65% and temps on 80-82F lately. I realize now I must have overwatered, although, I didnt notice the plants resenting it. I realize algae isnt that big of a deal, but it can be troublesome. I read i can cover the pot to stop the light from growing the algae and hydrogen peroxide (although i havent used peroxide yet). I just covered it with lava rocks and big perlite chunks and turned off my humidifier (now temps are 81F and 43% humidity - which i think its not ideal).
was covering them like that ok? or just futile on my end? suggestions for a fix?
(White spots on leaves is perlite dust that flew all over the plants and my lungs cus i had the fan on, )
MEDIUM: Peat, Vermiculite, Perlite.
Feeding: 20-10-20 Jacks (550 ppm) (I fed and cups weight 300g, i didnt feed again until they were at 200g, but I guess I had to wait more)
Lights: Lm301bs (300w to 50%)
