Early Trich?
    #14025962 - 02/25/11 03:08 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

I have 4 monobuckets going and the first 3 seem to have normal looking growth while this 4th bucket has strange clumping white stuff on the top.

Can I get a confirmation this is trich?



The last bucket (the one shown in the pic)is much whiter on the top of the coir than the rest of the buckets. Ont eh other buckets I see strong rhizo growth. This one just looks icky.

Ill toss it as soon as i can get a confirmation. Doesnt appear to have sporeulated yet.

Sorry about the quality.

That's definitely trichoderma in it's mycelial phase. 

Good catch.  A few more days and you'da had you a sea of green mold. 

The only thing that substrate's good for is fertilizing an out door garden.

A 25% failure rate is horrible.  Use proper sterile procedure when making your cakes or spawn, and properly pasteurize substrates at 140F for 60 to 90 minutes.  Bulk substrates should not be exposed to water over 170F, as they're then more susceptible to contamination later.

so the boiling water in a bucket (damions tek) isnt a very good way to go?

I guess ill use your pasterization tek you use in the video.  ive read that coir is fairly trich esistant but the rich seemed to have no problem dominating that bucket. The other 3 all look good and were prepared side by side at he same time.

Yes coir is pretty damn contam resistant.  That is why people often get away with the bucket tek.  Sometimes you can even get away with not even pasteurizing coir AT ALL, but obviously that is stupid and don't do it....Definately use the way that RR explains in the video, that way you are sure that the coir gets 140-160F for 90 minutes......
