 Greetings, all!
 
 I put 48 seeds into peat pots and into the warmth of a large marine chest
 Holland style with hot water filled bottles. Temp was perfect. Germination
 great!
 
 Problem..... after removing the seedlings from the chest,  I noticed the peat
 pots are showing tiny signs of mold on the sides from being in the damp, warm
 and dark chest. They were in there just three days. 
 
 While this has not seemed to affect the seedlings at all, should I give them
a
 drench of Captan before planting tomorrow?
 
 I have a bag of 50% Captan wettable powder on hand. No mixing instructions (1
 Tblsp per gal, for instance) so I have no clue how to measure powder to
water.
 Could anyone give me advice?
 
 I need it in a hurry, please. Planting tomorrow afternoon.
 
 Thanks!

(1 Tblsp per gal, for instance)  That is correct.
