I had trouble with mold, but things are clearing up nicely.
I was using foil trays, but any bends would trap water.
So I have plastic bins with LOTS of tiny holes for drainage.
I also prefer to do wheat and barley in seperate bins. I found when one molded, the other didn't.it was usually the barley.
They grow at different rates, so that seems to work.
And be diligent about rinsing 2-3 times a day. If I for get one day and only rinse once, I see problems .
Otherwise they're growing nicely. I only let them go to about day 5, but before they were molded on day 4.
So if you have mold: re-evaluate your trays, rinse well . Seems to be working great
