10 days old seedling white widow with black/brown spots, i can't tell what's causing this... it's
hydro/Aerogarden, reservoir of 1 gallon, no nutes yet, room temp, it gets low to 18-19C when the light is OFF, when it is ON, the average temperature around 22-26C, it got a bit high up to 28-29 for a short time but i managed that, the light was a bit warm on the plant, i realized that when she was like 7 days old then i raised it until i felt it is fine (by using the back of my hand method) the light is 150watts MH plus 3 cfls, 2 23watts 1 32watts, humidity between 39% to 53% , ph 5.7-5.8 sometimes i try to get it lower to 5.2-5.3 but when i check it again after like 12hrs or so it gets back to 5.7-5.8, EC 0.26-0.31 , it goes up to 0.31-0.32 when i added more water, bottled water, reservoir water temp was 24C i tried to lower it with adding cubes of ice in the reservoir for several times to have it on like 19.5-20C but within like an hour or so the temp raise up to 24C but i managed that when i raised the MH and now it's around 20.8-21.2C

She's 20 days old and that's all the growth I got.... What do you think is causing the mold? any recommendations? i think what kept it from dying is the rhizotonic i added 5 days ago
Not familiar with sytem but is that mold/mildew? Looks liike your rootzone is in a bad way..

no it hasn't been closer, was it ok to use HID for a 5 days old seedling? or it should be under only Cfl's until she grow certain number set of leaves?
any expectations if it is going to grow from now on if nothing goes wrong? i mean based on the latest pics i posted
Were they always 20", or have they ever been closer? Doesn't take much to burn seedlings in my experience.
