New Rooting Issues!

Checked my LSU Purple cuttings tonight.  The buds are swelling, I think I see root initials or lincels(?)...BUT....I also see some mold!!!!!!

What should I do???

Wash with bleach solution and scrub the mold off?

Soak in Bleach solution and not scrub off?

I REALLY don't want to lose them.

Please suggest how to proceed!

10 % bleach water and dont,scrub just be gentle. Run it under water and rub it off then use bleach water for 30 seconds then change your media because of the mold

Thanks Richie, I was leaning towards that.  I didn't want to hurt the buds either.

I just finished sanitizing the cuttings and the bins.  I don't have more moss handy so I  microwaved it in small batches.  Some of the cuttings are pushing out little figs - I left them since I didn't want an "open" wound for the bleach to get in.  I scrubbed the cut ends and any cuttings that didn't have any buds pushing through. 

Wish me luck!

Good Luck!!
