    Default Wheatgrass looks like mold or is mold?

    I know many sprouts grow roots with white fine hairs that look just like mold but that aren't. Well on my wheatgrass I growing for the green star juicer I got, the bottom layer has several spots with these white hairs. I've never really done wheatgrass before either as I had no use for it so I have no idea what it should look like.

    So my question is are these white hairs on the wheatgrass it's normal roots or is it molding?

    Thanks

    After reading online it seems like mold is a common problem with wheatgrass. I also re read my sprouter manual and reprogrammed the watering timer to water quite a bit less and also added peroxide to the water tank as they recommend to prevent mold on wheatgrass.

    Hopefully this will stop the mold, I read it's not a dangerous mold so I'll simply cut the grass above it and wash it well.
