Hi guys,

What can we do to prevent damping-off? And if it had already effected a few plants in a system what can we do to rectify it? Views and ideas please.

Regards

Light breeze with a fan may help.

Lower the height of the standpipe so the max water level in the GB when flooded is 50mm below the surface of the gravel.

The suggestions above look good. In addition you can Grow plant plugs instead of seeding into the bed. Add the plugs when they are a bit larger and damping off won't be a problem because the plants will have thicker stems already.
