Green maybe is algae.

But I usually use fludioxonil (brand name: Maxim) fungicide.

I spray seedlings just in case of mold. It does not affect seedlings in any way.

But perfectly controls the mold.

P.S. - in any case it will do no harm to seedlings.

algae is ok if it doesnt over run your container , id see it as a good sign.

I'd avoid fungicides if I could. It definitely sounds like algae, which doesn't present a problem unless it doesn't get out of hand. You can combat the algae but just letting the medium dry out a little.

Yeah I had a similar issue and it started to get out of hand. Increasing time intervals between watering fixed it. If I could just increase my germination rate I could have many more small cactus friends.
