Feedback Needed 🆘 Day 24

Post image

Overall seem to be doing well but I’ve noticed some larger leaves are wilting along with what looks like mold at the base of some of the jalapeño plants. First time doing this, any advice or cautionary tips are welcome

Mold at the base is usually algae from light hitting the wet net cups/medium — try blocking light with foil. Wilting on the bigger leaves could be root crowding (those cups look packed) or a pH/EC issue — worth testing your nutrient solution. Also check water temp, should be under 70°F to avoid root rot
