    I just recently bought a Mini greenhouse that I keep indoors. Currently there is lettuce growing in it, and today I noticed that there is some white webby stuff in some of the pots, on the soil.

    Also I havent had to water them in 3 days and they still seem pretty moist. My first thought was that they are not getting enough air circulation, I now have a fan in the room circulation air. What else should I do about this problem?

    You could scrap out the white stuff which sounds like a mold growing from the soil being too wet for too long.
    Make sure the soil is nice and light, airy and well draining and let the soil dry a bit before re-watering. If you have a top on your mini greenhouse, taking it off now and then should help with the air-flow:)

    Thanks! I bought a premix soil by miracle grow.. i guess I will have to adjust it next time. I did open up the greenhouse and put a fan in the room. We'll see how it grows :P
