Properly disinfect trays before growing. Use clean growing mediums like coco peat or peat moss. Do not over watering on the growing mediums. For hydropoinc without any medium, tilt the white net tray about 45 degress for about 1 minute to drain out the water on the tray after each spray. Control the humidity of the growing space. Control the temperature of the growing space, too warm may cause the mold grow agressively. Provide good air circulation in the growing space. Presoak the seeds with eco enzyme, ratio for eco enzyme to water is 1:500. Add eco enzyme or 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide into spray water, ratio for eco enzyme or 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide to water is 1:1000. Avoid seeding too densely. Set up proper lighting conditions for 6-10 hours daily. Remove the seeds with mold immediately, prevent the mold to spread out.

Give your remaining microgreens plenty of fresh, gently moving air. If it is in a small area, you can try to dig it out and hope it doesn’t spread. Try the watering trick to see if it disappears. Wait a few more days and it will usually become clear. Mold will grow and your microgreens will look sicker. Take a look at bottom of the tray to see the roots. Do the roots directly below the white fuzzy growth look healthy. Are the stems or roots looking unhealthy or turning brown. Use your best judgment.
