What do you guys do when you have asmall little nugget on the top that won't get consoliated?

I'm sure it's happened to you, you can only break up poo so thoroughly so sometimes you'll end up with rather dense nuggets that the mycilium has a hard time colonizing. Do you just wait or birth it figuring contams will also have a hard time colonizing it?

Is the nugget small? Do you have multiple dense nuggets? I always take sterile tweezers or larger forceps and pick that shit out. (Pun intended). I wouldn't risk any grow with uncolonized substrate :thumbup:

Yeah, it's rather small, the bare spot is maybe the size of a nickle at best. If I pick it out would that not be simply opening up another area for contamination though?

Assuming you haven't birthed it yet, and assuming there is softer more colonizable substrate under the nugget. I would say removing the nugget would allow the mycelium to colonize more freely, if it hasn't colonized the area under the nugget already.

No extra risk of contams with the nugget than without, if you haven't started the fruiting cycle.

I actually woke up this morning to see a bit of, hopefully, mycilium poking through. At present it looks like it started out as tomentose this morning and is now starting to become rhizomorphic, but I always get worried on slow colonizing things if it's actually the mean green. It's only day 11 though, and my spawn jars were practically glowing in the dark they were so white, so I'm not too worried about it.
