I've noticed some green spots on my rafts and leaves and I've searched everywhere for an explanation but can't figure out what it is... So any help would be nice thanks! |

You'll have to get used to seeing that on your rafts, they get covered in it.. Could just be the sam eon the plants, is this indoor perhaps or in a place where there's not a lot of air flow past the plants? The lettuce also looks leggy, poor light for decent growth. |

Hahahahaha! Yeah! 10$ fluro 80w 6500k lol. Are the plants safe two eat with that on it? I'll post some more pics of my set up in a few. It's a 20 gal tank with two rafts. It's been hot lately so my garage has been kinda humid these last couple weeks. I need to get a fan in there I was hoping the airflow would sturdy up my stocks a bit. |

Bump Does anyone know if it's safe to eat these plants? My lettuce should be ready soon and I want to pull some but if they are not safe I've been growing compost for 6 weeks..... |

Most of your leaves look fine, any that look like they have too much algae on them you can throw away or give them a good wash. |

My main concern is someone else told me it might be mold but if it's just algae then I'm not as worried. I know mold isn't great to eat lol |
