Brownish-yellow water droplets in monotub
    #15179815 - 10/05/11 03:20 AM (13 years, 3 months ago)

Didn't find anything similar using search. My monotub has been colonizing for three days. Obviously, there's humidity and water droplets all on the inside of my tub. I noticed, however, on one side there are probably 10-12 little water droplets clinging to the side that are tinged with a brownish-yellow or yellowish-brown color. At first I thought it was little bits of coir that had stuck to the side, I had a couple bits elsewhere on the walls of my tub, but upon closer inspection it was the colored water.

Is this a bacterial contamination? Should I try to wipe it off with an alcohol wipe? It doesn't look normal. :sad:

Reads like metabolites which are perfectly normal.

When mycelium colonizes its food source it usually secretes yellowish-orangey-brownish liquid called metabolites. Metabolites are a sign of either a very healthy culture or bacterial contamination. But if you dont smell anything funky coming from your tub then I can guarantee you that its just a extremely healthy culture you have going.

@DynGBreeD: I tried to snap a pic last night for my OP but my camera wouldn't focus on the droplets so they just showed up as small little transparent specks. The pictures were kind of useless. Also it's colonizing at approximately 75-76 degrees F.

@HybridprX: Well I know about metabolites, but the thing is the droplets are on the side of the tub, not near mycelium. They're up on the side ranging 1-3 inches from the top of the sub.
