Algae in my loph pots

Recommended Posts

hey people,

Just wanted to double check that I've have the right choice of fungicide for my loph seedlings, I tried my usual cure all (i.e. sulfur dust, but that didn't really do too much other than cause the soil to hiss when it's watered....... A bit too much lime in that batch :blush: ) Anyway, the active ingredient is cupric hydroxide. I did want to get copper oxychloride but sent my fiance on the mission (the chemical names confused her :scratchhead: ). Is all good or am I just worrying without cause? I just want to be careful, this is my best batch so far.

algae isnt fungus, hence fungicide wont do anything to prevent its growth...

if u have algal growth the growing medium is probably over wet and recieving too much light. either way algae wont hurt your seedlings...

Yeah, things have sorted themselves out now. I guess it's just because I kept them wetter then usual this time because a few were smaller than the usual size I harden them off at. So far only 1 potential loss, but it looks like thats more to drying out more then anything else, hopefully I can ressurect it but if it does go 1 out of 10 isn't so bad.
