Sprayed Windex on my monotub .. =(
    #14159228 - 03/21/11 01:08 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

The title says it all!  After many mornings of hopping out of bed in order to rehydrate my little guys after a long night, I found my self in a situation where I accidentally sprayed about 6-8 shots of windex on my monotub instead of water.  Me and my girlfriend spent a long time cleaning my apartment last night.  Apparently the Windex bottle was right next to my water bottle.  Because I was so tired having just woken up a few second ago, I did not bother to check the labels.

I picked the flush off of the tub immediately.  It was about 50 percent done it's flush. Some of the veils had broken on a few of them, but a lot of them were picked at only half of their potential height.  Now my question is that:

1)  What do I do with the monotub now?  I have already had one good flush with it, and this incident occured during its second flush.  Should I do anything special with the tub?  Should I toss it? 

2)  With the little guys that I picked, are they safe to eat?  I put them all in a big bowl and soaked them in water for a few minutes after I windexed them.  Then I rinsed each one under the faucet and started to clean them for drying.  Right now they are in the dehydrator, but I think it might be a good idea to just throw them out instead of risking poisioning.  What do you guys think?

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

Windex is mostly ammonia.. The shrooms will be fine to eat..

Just wait and see if you get another flush, no sense in tossing it yet.

Oh, I also forgot to mention that some of the pins I did not remove just to see what would happen.  They have since aborted =(  So yeah, if anyone ever wanted to know if windex is a nutritious substrate additive, this experiment proves that it is not =p

lol.

Good to know.

Comme to think about it 5-6 sprays could be alot depending on your sprayer thing..

They should still be safe to eat, but eating a shroom that tasted of Windex could mess with your head during the trip.

After drying if they still smelled of windex, I would personally probably toss. They wouldnt be ruined though.

If no new pins form on top after 5-7 days, I would try flipping the substrate upside down, which would cause the bottom to fruit like crazy.

Also, dunk it if you haven't.

I heard that it is generally not a good ideal to flip the substrates over with cakes, so im assuming that the same rule applies for mono tubs. I suppose it couldn't make the situation any worse though.  When I get home from class I am going to run the cake underwater for a few minutes and then give it a nice dunk.  After that I'll flip it over like you suggested and see what happens.

Sounds good. If you're going to run water over it and dunk it, you could just see if that makes it pin on top first. Probably will.

Edit - Try to let the water just run off the top of the substrate first and avoid using the first bit of that water as the actual dunk water.
