I had mold, My flat was damp, it is finally fixed. Here some Tipps from my Hydro setups
And as always, no watering from the Top.
“Prone to mould growth” could point to an elevated level of spores in the air which could indicate existing mould problem elsewhere. Could also be something coming in with the water?
Hopefully not, but something to think about.
It's just quite a humid appartment. Already ventilating like crazy. :/
Indoor mold is dangerous and difficult to get rid off once it's nested in your walls. Ventilation and heating are essential, but you can (and should) also put up dehumidifiers near the sources of the humidity.
Maybe you didn't check the community, but this is a hydroponics comm. The "source of the humidity" is the substrate for the plant. And I don't want the pieces that should be drenched in water to get mouldy.
Why downvote the people trying to help you? Seems like they are just letting you know that you can’t really fix the mold in your hydro setup until you fix the mold in your house.
It’s like banging hoors without a condom and wondering why your dick keeps burning when you pee. Fix the base problem first and the secondary problem will go away.
I don't think that it was actually a solution to my problem. Mold spores are in the air, no matter how much you ventilate.
They replied as if I had a general mold problem. But "keep everything dry" is not a viable solution in a hydro setup.
Also, I don't appreciate the tone of your crass example. Quite derogatory towards sex workers.
Is the mold harmful to the plants?
Idk, but I prefer not to have mold growing indoors. If thah can't be helped, I'll probably have to quit hydroponics indoors (in this appartment).
Better ventilation? 🤷
In my Kratky setup? How?
