HELP! 10 POINTS! i am having problems with my wheatgrass planting?!
Answers: every single time i plant my wheatgrass seeds, i see all of this fuzz surrounding the seeds days after i plant them. also, when i take my cover off, it smells really bad. is there something wrong with the soil, seeds or tray that i am using? am i using too much water? is the temp. too hot? is my wheatgrass not receiving enough air circulation? WHAT DO I DO?
Mould growth common when growing wheatgrass. Because the shoots are grown very close together the moist conditions at the base of the shoots are the perfect environment for mould to grow, especially in the warmer times of the year. Mould that grows on wheatgrass has been found to be harmless to humans and when you are ready to juice you can cut above the affected areas.
One method you can use to reduce mould growth is to use the best wheat grain. Some varieties are less prone to mould.
Keep your wheatgrass in a well ventilated position.
On the hotter days i.e. temperatures over 30oc, perhaps move the tray inside or to the coolest place available. Avoid soaking the seed for too long during hotter days.
Avoid over watering.
Leave the cover off. The fuzz on your seeds is mold.
