White foam on sprouts
I started sprouting sunflower seeds for the first time and by the third day I've noticed white foam. I've read that this is a bug infestation. Anything I can do about this? Anything to prevent it?

I'm sprouting inside (darkness). The temperature is very warm. I'm using a tray to sprout in soil.

The fuzz on the roots are little folicles that are reaching out for water, its a sign of thirst for the plant. Its not mold. Water them and watch them rest.

I have seen the same thing growing on wheatgrass. I believe it is a type of mold. I read when sprouting sunflower seeds, you have to make sure you rinse out all the skins that come off of the seeds or you will have problems.
