Followed the directions, exactly as they were. However, after 3 days of no growth, I got mold! How can this be prevented? I did everything right!!

The white stuff that looked like mold is actually not mold. It is fibers from the seeds reaching out to collect moisture. You are right it does look like mold but it is safe to use after the grass grows. If you have any questions, please contact us at tina@pioneerpet.com

In the beginning I thought the same. First of all the seeds sprout usually after 3 or 4 days. You just add water before and after planting the seeds in. Just if by the touch is dry, then add only a few drops of water after to each square. When you notice the roots they look like white littles hairs

Probably not. The seeds we got were hard, old, and when they finally sprouted, VERY moldy. We tried it twice to see if it was just one batch. Both were covered with mold (and since we live in Southern Arizona, mold isn't something you see every day). I'd find your seed elsewhere. I've been buying from a wonderful place in San Francisco called Sprout People. Take a look at their website.

I am in a very dry climate at 6500 feet and get no mold at all. The mold spores must be in the air or water. I get a layer of crystallized minerals on the upper edge of the evaporation sheets, but they dissolve if the sheets are turned over. Maybe flipping the sheets would also help with mold. Otherwise I think you're supposed to wash them periodically.

From what I read, you do not want to wait until they turn brown. They will mold. I do it when they are green.

I have had the same issue with mold. I try getting rid of it best I can, but usually just end up dealing with it and figure it probably won't kill me.

Hi - This happened to me, too! I used the product as directed and flushed with warm water for about 20 minutes and my ear was still plugged. I sat on the couch, wondering what to do and decided to go back to the bathroom and continue to flush with warm water.I was AMAZED at what came out of my ear! The chunk of wax was 2" long! No wonder my ear felt plugged and my hearing was muffled. The trick is that you have to squeeze the bulb as hard as you can and keep trying different angles until the wax comes out. Don't give up - it will clear!

We washed the bowls after every feeding and still the mold appeared. I'd say it took about a month for it to appear.

My opinion is that they should be placed in a paper bag instead. It is less likely that they will develop mold. Even then, they may have some mold on them when you return. Get them in the ground as soon as possible and you will be fine.Mr. E.

Lay them out on a towel to absorb the water and let them shrink back up. I also spray them with a 50/50 water/vinegar solution to prevent mold :-)

Mine is just fine...I live in California and the weather is warm then it's cold...In the instructions, it says to change the water every 3 days...so i clean the container and add fresh water every 3-4 days and that keeps the mold from growing...hope this idea works for you...

Sun them! Sounds weird but it worked when my inserts smelled gross. Lay them in the sun for a few hours. Takes ANY smell away!

I planted these seeds for my animals to eat. They sprouted and grew well. I guess you could blend them, but they are dry. I see somebody else replied that they came with mold on them. Mine were dry with no mold, but if theirs had mold, then I would say no way should you blend them. Yuck!

My molds also have the flakes/residue some others have reported. I've washed the molds before and after each use, but also tried not washing them in case it was my soap. I've tried rising them in hot water alone as well. I've tried using tap water, filtered water, and bottled water but the residue still appears.

i'm sorry but i can't tell you what they are made of because i don't have the packaging anymore. i can say i have had no mold or mildew build up. i do use a daily shower/tub spray which may help. i actually when back and made mention that they don't say what they are made of in the 'what did we miss' section so maybe they will say in the future.

I never head of "avoid mold from water....". I just used the cheapest primer I could get, don't know the brand name or type of primer I used. I don't have any mold soaking through. Hope this helps.

No, seems to be wrong mold. I no idea what is the issue, I still must try and return mine I have bought. Have tried too request instructions to do so but heard nothing.

I never had any problems with Mold and Mildew, but I did use those little balls that you can purchase for this unit. My biggest problem was that it left a white, chalky feeling coating on all surfaces within 3 ft. of the unit. It would take too much distilled H2O to got that route. I stopped using it.
