Mold on clones?

So I took a few clones a few days ago and was trying to be very carefull and clean. This eavening I spotted a few things that look like the beguining of molds and an algae? It is very early so I cant get a good picture of it. One os light spindly white/grey on the peet pod. Tgere was also a dot of white on one clone. I also see some greenish dots on a couple that might be some kind of algae. This is my second time cloning, my first batch I only managed to get one to root out of about 10. Humidity had been 95-100 but I oppen the dome twice daily.

I was thinking about spraying a mix of hydrogen peroxide and water on all the clones tomorrow. I have also isolated the ones that looked like they might have mold in another dome. Thoughts?

Well, you did the right thing isolating them, not sure about how will they react to exposure of hydrogen peroxide and water. But maybe cleaning them with a bit of water and rubbing alcohol might be a solution.

I would say also that in case you see any risk of the potential mold going to other plants then just destroy them.
I would not risk the rest of my healthy plants for a couple of clones, it may be harsh but the problems are measured by their consequences. The consequences of destroying a couple of clones are far less than the spread of mold in all your plants.

Ok. What about the green dots? Have you seen algae on clones before?

I have never seen them, but that does not mean it’s definitive. Maybe you are in an area that happens to have that issue(because of whatever reason).
If there is anything, once on soild it should be gone though, except fungus.
