An Ozone machine will also kill mold and it will fill an entire room in no time. Good ones are pricey though. I think I paid something like $300.00 for mine about 3 or 4 years ago.

Thanks you just lit up my light bulb. I have a guy I know that know that sells paint supply's and also has a recon car shop and he was telling me about it one day. It kills everything in the interiors of used cars. I got to give him a call tomarrow.
He might lend it to me or chit I give him a hundred bucks to use it.
Thanks.

They mold proof framing lumber here with a solution of Boric acid, it soaks in and stays.
My house is a log home and they soaked the logs in boric acid also.
That might be why it is downstairs not upstairs where she has her Veg starts going.
Basement is dry except for the leak my kid found. I have over 20 zone valves that I can see and the one of three behind the wall takes a dump. I went to find a new one from the company in Canada I bought it from and there out of business.
They do not sell these in the USA from what I can find.

Won't another brand of PEX zone valve work in the same location? This company offers several different brands: http://www.pexsupply.com/Zone-Valves-Controls-324000 Your local plumbing supply probably has some also.

Thanks Knucks I used them for some parts of the system but they do not have them. Looks like I will have to change out the whole manifold assy. I hate the actuators on these they constantly burn out.

I create OZONE with a TESLA coil. It is highvoltage. How ever I may have found the problem for You from the North American Disease Forcast Center. What You described was what is explained in the report of Tobacco Blue Mold. If that is it You got the fix. It recomends Acrobat 50 WP. TOBACCO BLUE MOLD left side line has all the info. I think I seen the same type of thing on a plant next to a fence on one of the post in the past as well.

What's the brand name of your current valves? Some ebay sellers may still have that brand, but it will only delay the need change the whole manifold if the company is out of business.

Just use the Acrobat 50 WP any way. It will do the trick for You on that as well. Then no more problems. LOL Nice plants.
I don't think they sell it in the US or you have to be certified to buy it.
I googled it and can't find it anywhere.

You may have to use Quadris. Have BigBonner look at the pics. Can You take pics of the under sides? Acrobat 50 WD is Dimethomorph. I know You can get it via Greenscie Chemical Co.,LTD. Butt now I left My know how on it. Call NAPDFC 1-800-662-7301 Show them the pics as well. They will know what it is. or e-mail the pics to [email protected]. It can also be Black stem. Got Me? I would also check into My homeowners Inc. due to the hazards involved. I am out of My league on this one. I think I can see a lite fuzz on the leaf- but not sure.

Too much water , too rich soil , Put in direct sunlight ,
That mold on the soil should not hurt the plants in any way . Mine in the greenhouse does the same thing with no problems .
If it goes become a problem ( Rotting plants , leaves yellow and plants die ) you can used Dithane DF .
1 teaspoon per gallon and drench the soil .
Sun and dry is best in my opinion .
