The point here is what other people read. They should read; "toss it", and here they read "no its no biggie, just cut it I guess" which is wrong.

In whatever case, advanced microbiology, experimental practice and alike is far above paygrade for new growers, so I still hold my ground. Contaminated substrate (for which I will let you continue the discussion about) is tossed. End of story. If one suffers from such issues; then failure is at best the decription anyway. There is no saving a contaminated project and the aim is still to reach bullseye; no contamination and thats not done with the "cutting method" at all.

I know a lot of people see weight of yield or any fruits at all as a success; I think in reverse; a healthy and nice substrate is a first sign of success:)

New growers should learn that and wait for a long time before practicing experimental techniques. Thats what I think.

Im glad to see a nice discussion though:)

I pretty much did say your first quote (see in the original reply), & I certainly didn't say your second one. But again, I concede that for someone who is just starting out & doesn't have a lot of experience in this hobby, my answer may have been inappropriate.

P.S. On a lighter note, here is a thread about using homemade electrodes & UV lamps to try & kill Trich w/o seriously harming the mushroom mycelia. I think II'll just link this next time I see an unanswered question about contamination.

http://forums.mycotopia.net/fungi-magic-mushrooms/73539-killing-trichoderma-electrolisis-short-journal-plus-homemade-device.html




The only thing I want to avoid is a petty argument over contamination getting out of hand; unclear topics such as this one about substrates tend to spread and pop up all over later. I do believe its much possible to save a project in the ways you describe, but for the general grower; this is not an option. For the new grower; certainly not.

My tone and fiery temper comes from the fact that we see tons of new growers coming in with an array of questions; setups that are less than adequate or too expensive. The latter tend to suffer from bad information or simply cannot hold it together. I support newer growers in their attempts with the PF TEK; while many of them get bombarded with a shitload of misinformation; cool "TEKS" etc etc which only furthers the confusion. This is no ones particular fault. It just happens.

I have been here for about 6 months and I have sat and read and read and studied and in the end I got beaten up for being an asshole here the first month; thus I said: Kung FU it shall be; I will be proper so the reason that I am so hard-ball on some issues is because I almost got thrown out in the beginning. I decided to shape up considerably and try to help new growers, while I came back to finish up a project spanning over the last 8 months.

THanks for a nice reply anyways:)

As for UV lamps and electrodes; *sigh* okay Ill read the damn thing:P

Alright, well I harvested the fruits off that cake, and I've tossed it. The green spot didn't seem to get any bigger since when I made this thread, but I figured it still wasn't worth the risk, and seeing as this would be the second time on the "cut it and hope for the best" method, I chose to just forgo all that and toss the cake.  All other cakes appear healthy at this time.

Thank you all for the advice.
