The reason it states to use in the early morning or evening is due temperature; try and keep the temps low whilst you are treating your plants; I normally move the light as far away as possible for a few days to avoid burning the girls.
veggin 24/7??? u mean 24/0??? im veggin almost 4wks 18/6... oh ya I found a lil algae around half the stem rite undr the soil... n I only watr evry 4 days so I dnt kno what to do...

If the algae is just around the stem you could part back the soil and scrape it off with your fingernail.
If it's completely through the soil you would have to treat it. In most types of hydro this is pretty simple; applying h202 will kill it; however in soil it will also wipe out most of your beneficial organisms.
Someone with plenty of soil experience should chime in soon.
Like I said; raise the lights so it's not too hot and spray the plants; since you have a dark cycle you could probably do it just prior to lights out.

ya I tried pullin as much out as possible but in the process I ripped 2 lil roots so I stopped... so should I jus try and pull it all out cuz its not all through the soil its jus radiating bout 2in max on one side of the stem... and watering is tomorrow and I duno whut to do... pull it out... or treat it but I duno how to treat it... and that h202 stuff will kill all other organisms... im so lost and I dnt kno what to do... should I still water it even though theres algae... or should I treat it before??? or what???... I need sumone with alotta soil experience... sumone jus reassure me that it aint that big of a deal or sumthin...
