| I am a fairly new gardener, Ive had a few gardens here and there but with the purchase of our new home now I plan to get serious. I have started a few seedlings of tomatoes and peppers and have noticed a fine mold over the top. How does this happen and what can I do to fix this? I have them in a small indoor greenhouse with a light suspended above them. Was thinking it may need some air flow. Thought Id get some answers first. |

| You definitely need some airflow. I start my seeds under a humidity dome. As soon as seedlings sprout I move them under shop lights in my basement. I have the lights on a timer. I also have a fan on a timer and it kicks in a couple times of day. You have to be careful of damping off. It can wipe out seedlings very quickly. I will let you google damping off, I'm to tired tonight to go into detail |

| Thank you. I will get a fan on them starting today. Dont want to lose any plants |

| Just remember to start low speed and short time periods until they toughen up. |

| Also remember that they will dry out faster if using a fan so need to check for watering more often. |
