Ok i am growing in an aerogarden and i think i may have spores or something growing on top of my grow sponge that came with the aerogarden. I didnt use the little covers that aerogarden has because i didnt have any. Is there any way to get rid of it or should i just try and cover it up with black tape or something and hope it dies? Other than this she seems to be doing pretty good!

You cant really see in the picture but the lighter colored part i believe is some type of fungus.

I would cover up the soil with tinfoil and the lack of light will reduce the growth of the fungus. I wouldnt worry to much though. Are you using soil or coco?

maybe just me but looks like u got fungus growing . sponges should be covered up to prevent algae and fungus.

I would suggest that you use tinfoil, and put it dull side up, this will be totally light tight without any dangerous chemical adheasives and also help with light relection.
