    Default Furry sprouts?

    Not sure if it is hold or not... I don't think it is hold, but some of my sprouts are getting furry bits on their tails. It's just on the white radish seeds.

    Can anyone tell me if this sounds normal?

    radish does have a white furry root to some extent. Take a picture if you can and post and we'll advise on mold.

    lt's no problem, it happens quite easily. Sesame needs are notorious for this white fur too. lt's not mold, but it is a sign that the sprout crying out for water. lf you don't give them water soon, mold will form because it will start to develop spots and turn gray.

    Water them more often. Better still, give them a light spray of water. lf you are watering them twice a day, try spraying them three times a day. lf you only water them once a day, try watering them twice a day.

    Do you live in a hot climate?
