idk, it would probably get worse haha, i mean its sitting in water, with the heat of the lights, thats how it got there, i guess wipe it clean, but your root will probably get affected

Are you talking about the empty nodes? or gluing the label onto the sponge itself, like the gourmet herb kit?

Seeing this has me worried, but that looks like it had been forming for a while, my stuff is clean as a whistle right now.
