I put one drop of ST in a half gallon of lukewarm water and spray my seedlings. They look pretty healthy this season.

Sometimes I add a tablespoon or two of H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) to the mixture too. I'm just guessing, but I think that helps keep some of the mold and mildew from getting hold and the plants like it too.

I also bottom water with ST and H2O2 mixtures, too, depending on the situation.

I have a fan going in the room too, and and I think that helps keep the mold at bay. And also the tiny gnats that I used to get, too. (Knock on wood!)

Japanese Morning Glories in Jiffy Pots--so far they are surviving!
