Ok it may be the start of an infection but its very early if it is. To me it looks more like bacteria and not an infection. You will need to choose hydrogaurd or H2o2. I have used hydrogaurd and it is a great product.
If you choose sterile or live just let me know and i can help you with dosage and timing of them.
The leaf damage is because they are laying on the bubble wrap. Anytime a leaf does not get airflow this will happen or if its resting on something... even another leaf. I'm 99% confident there are no bugs. But this is going to be an issue until they get a bit bigger.
Now IMO this may sound drastic but I would remove the leaves resting on anything and get a slight breeze over the top of the buckets. You see those bumps on the main stem? thats from high humidity and its not an issue yet but it can become one. so getting just ever so slight air movement across the tops of the buckets will help the rest of the leaves transpire and prevent that stem from getting rot.
Will stop there for now... just let me know which route you wanna go. Sterile is cheaper but personally i prefer hydrogaurd
Maybe just the leaves with the most contact. If its just a bit they should be ok. Raising the light wont help them stretch much its more spectrum related and that looks like about 4k which is pretty blue leaning and will keep plants fairly squat. If more than half the leaf is resting on something pull it... does that leave you a few more? You can expect some damage from the ones that are but don't worry to much as the plant goes they can be plucked. The reason you want some is to get a bit more air to the stem also and if they are completely resting on something they are of no benefit anyhow.Wow, your reply was awesome and so fast. Thank you very much.
To be honest I would go the hydroguard method, can get it delivered tomorrow and everywhere I read, I see good things about it and the price is not bad at all.
Regarding the plants sitting so low, that was probably my fault. I think I placed the rapid rooter to low inside the net pot or maybe used too much light intensity too early and the plant didn't stretched like I thought it would. Do you think if I bring my light higher that will make the plant seek for light and stretch? ( I saw that with stretchy seedlings)
I do have one fan bringing fresh air, but the tote is almost the same height of the fan so not much air flow, about to add a oscillating fan I was saving for later. One thing that worries me would be the bubble disc I just installed to block light from going inside the net pot, that will also block the air flow going to the lower stems or trapping more humidity down there I believe =x.
Very good call on the plants resting on the bubble wrap, completely missed that. I'm just worried about removing leaves that are sitting on something, because pretty much 2/3 of the plant is touching something or other leafs, would be some crazy defoliation, not sure my heart can take that xD
That's the one I was thinking of.I used enzyme komplete, when I had brown algae worked like a charm fast too. Would have used hydroguard buy I'm in canada and cant seem to get any without a 500$ bill to spend

I say good choice on the hydrogaurd. I also like to use enzymes, the last one I used was hygrozyme and i was really impressed I used half dose and only need it after water changes. There are plenty of other and someone else may chime in with a good alternative for a better price as its not the cheapest on the market.
Yeah i wouldn't put that disc there. instead take the net pot out and use electrical tape to cover the holes from the bottom make sure its tight and stuck to itself so it doesn't come off. After the plants get some height you can fill the rest of the net pot with hydroton to block the light

2ml a gallon is plenty imo. If you were treating and infection i would say 4ml in one gal poured from the top and 2ml per gal in the res.Getting ready to do some surgery over here haha. Thanks for everything, I was having an anxiety attack lol. Plants are looking better already just by sanitizing everything
Also pretty genius idea blocking the light from inside out, also gives me more space at the stem area. 2 rabbits with one rock
About the hydroguard, I see dosages from 2ml~4ml/ gallon, does that seem accurate?( I miss Brazil and it's metric system ugh)
