What to use?

This week I will be receiving two flasks of a couple of hybrids I ordered from Ebay. I know fungus is a concern so I am in the search for a fungicide that will be 'ok' for the seedlings.

I have heard of Captan but I have seen much detail to know if it subtle enough for tender seedlings. Neem Oil based products seem too strong. I just have Oragnocide (Sesame Oil), or Cinnamon...or something homemade you guys may teach me.

Thank you.

When living in the US, I used Physan on seedlings.

I think Physan would be the thing to use. I use it for all of my orchids when I do repotting. It's a great fungicide, algaecide and bacteriocide.

Cool, I found it. Will a pint last me a while? I have 18-20 seedlings.

To prevent fungus even more would rockwool squares be any ood to use on the fresh seedlings?

A pint will last a very long time.
