Wheat Grass Mold

Can you elaborate a bit on what you did with the solutions and what ratio you used?

Peroxide was the original 3% diluted by 10 times. It is best if you wash the grains first because there is a lot of dust in there that will neutralize your peroxide and make it ineffective against bacteria and mold. Bleach was 1 or two tablespoons per gallon, which is cheap. Salt was 4 ounces per gallon.

Just to update this thread a bit I've not found any chemical that prevents mold on the seed hulls. However a procedure change (well several till one worked) has resulted in no mold. I was putting the seeds in a very warm place (85°F) for the first 4 days and lightly covering them with an hour or two soak each morning. I changed to putting them in a cooler spot (72°F) and the mold didn't grow. The couple of days under the grow bulbs I don't cover them so air can circulate and keep them a bit cooler while under the hot grow bulbs. If anyone needs some photos let me know.
