I planted some seeds in a mini greenhouse and gave them water and had light on them...and today when i checked them I found mold growing on two seeds/plants. Does anyone know what happened?

Too humid maybe. Try venting your greenhouse.

well I thought that too but the containers are too big and so there is a crack between the base and the top of the greenhouse all around the thing...so I don't know but its only one pot that it is happening to.

I think that the mold may be on the seed before you ever start them in a dry form. I started 5 seeds had 2 in each container and 1 in the other, the one container with 2 had 1 seed with mold, the rest did not. 392.5 FRANTZ any one else have any ideas

Walleye if probably right. Check the seeds before you try starting them. If there is a little black spot on them, it's mold. Warm humid condititions will cause it to spread. If there is mold on the seed coat, using the advanced seed starting method will take care of the problem. You can find the article here.
