Soaked in vinegar 2% or hydrogen peroxide 1%, prior soaking for 8 hours. No matter how much washing I am doing, gallons of water wasted… always this mold.. Is the source of the seeds bad, or what am I doing wrong, please? Thank you for any hint.

mold grows on damp, moist, stagnant environments. do u use a dome? do u leave it in a cold humid area? do u use clean water? not sure what these seedlings are but it might be best to transfer them to soil or hydroponics setup ?¿
Light exposure to the roots isn’t good, not a direct cause but a weak plant is more likely ilto get mold.
Looks constantly wet.
Roo. Temp and humidity might be fine but local humidity isn’t, if you do not have a fan you definitely need to add one.
I’ve grown this stuff commercially for a while. The mold differs greatly per batch of seeds, but we would soak the seeds in dilute bleach for 24 hours. I don’t remember the concentration of bleach so maybe you can try some different strengths, but that should kill the mold spores. And don’t worry, the bleach evaporates within a day or so after sowing so it won’t end up in your final product
