yes its censored so mods dont have to go around and edit your bad words, youll probably get a PM from one. I do it to, but im trying to handle my words appropriately, and im not that mad over some mold.. search image resizer on google and use on of those sites, then resave and then upload.. thats if your not scared about getting caught. Dont save the pic to the image resizer, if you want LEO taking a look, just use the sample pic and drag it to desktop before saving it.. im legal so im not worried, its just some do.

Is it posible that it is not mold, but a build up of salts from your water?

I have seen little opaque covers, but if you cut little squares of that black netting to prevent weeds in flowerbeds it allows for ventilation while still cutting off the light, use 2-3 layers if needed.

Yah when I used rockwool I cut squares outta my black/white plastic and just cut a slit up the middle. worked great!! They sell covers now im sure. Once theres no light hitting the top of ur cube u wont have that problem, and your roots will grow much bigger. goodluck wit evryting mang!!!

P.s I`d clean off whats there with plain water if at all possible

I buy 5 inch wide styrafoam saucers, and I cut the bottoms of the saucer out, making a lid. Then I cut a hole in the center for the sprout. This prevents the lights from hitting the cube, or penetrating the rocks, into my water. It works for me. This is an old pic when I used plastic lids from styrafoam cups.

I'm not 100% positive that pic is MOLD, it might be salts from the water. I say MIGHT, I am just not sure.

Peace
