Mini Mono Checkup
    #18390428 - 06/08/13 11:30 PM (11 years, 7 months ago)

Started two of these a week ago. One was definitely contaminated it smelt strongly of sweet rotting fruit. This one is more ambiguous. I can't tell if it just needs more time or if it's done for.

Yeah there seems to be a shiny liquidy white layer on the surface, this one hardly smells at all. They were in different places.

Yeah I tossed them both outside in some coir and verm just for fun. But it's round 2 now. The tubs here had crumbled cakes, cakes I made from an LC so they may have been doomed from the start.

My new ones are from popcorn jars that showed zero sign of contaminats and I did a bit higher than a 1:2 spawn sub ratio. Hopefully all goes well.

make sure you pasturise properly, and that your spawn is healthy.

Some people dont have much luck using the bucket tek pasturisation (if thats what you use) though they usually have problems with mold rather than bacteria.

Any strong smell other than mushrooms or what coir smells like is bad. Slimey white is also bad. Some bacterias will look white and slimey, or sometimes will just look like water.

I had a tub that smelled like trash i was gonna bin it but forgot about it and it fully colinised, it fruited and boy did it perform well, go figure.
