Question.
Why won't these youngsters believe us when we say go easy on the water?
Guess they have to experince damp-off, green moldy slim, (sorry Clyde forgot
tech name for it)pythium, and fungus gnats themselves.
I shall repeat, Allow your soil surface to dry out about 12 hours at the
seed leaf stage. and 24 hours after the first true leaf. between waterings.
This will keep fungal growth in check.
