Having some contamination problems
    #19130416 - 11/13/13 09:12 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Looking at a tub today I got yet another with trich

I wanted to outline some things I do to see if maybe thats why

Soak rye

Put on stove cook for 35 min , ( till fully hydrated)

Put in bags

Seal

PC for 3 hours  It comes out to about 2 1/2 lbs of spawn per bag after hydrated

NOT in SAB ( maybe the problem) I clean the bag with alcohol , apply silicone , apply tape

Clean again before injection

This time the trich started on the tip of a cut shroom

Did I cut it wrong , Is this cause of house spore count?

Please any help would be awesome ,I have pretty much always had problems with getting trich after the first the first flush


I can never keep a tub going for longer than like 2 1/2 flushes


Infected tubs are thrown out ASAP?
AS not to infect others?


Has anyone thought about putting large tyvek patches on tubs ?

Can you provide a picture of your "contaminated" substrate?

Are you sure that's a contamination and not the substrate?

Bruising can happen if a substrate gets damaged or too dry.

Are those bruised stumps what you are calling trich on the right side? Or is that what I'm misidentifying as bruising?

I vote qtip test. If it don't come off it isn't trich. If it does then test is inconclusive.

I bleached the trich area  already which changes its color before It was on top of a stump and was green  like lime green but a bit diluted

There is no trich on your substrate that I can see at 1080p with a 65" monitor, neither spores nor trich myc :shrug:

So stump can grow lime green?!

I am so confused

Should have taken a picture prior to that , but I kinda got nervous and sprayed some bleach on it


Right beside the cotton ball is where I bleached you can still see how it is still kinda green

The stumps are most likely always going to look some shade of blue and green when you cut them.

Cubes bruise anywhere from green to blue.

Trich spores look like a scab over the myc itself, and the smell of trich will overpower your tub too.

Those stumps are bruised, not contaminated.

I may have misspoken also I believe the trich was on a abort not a stump cause It was about 3/4  inch long 1/4 inch wide

SO it can be BRIGHT LIME GREEN

Regardless this thread was not about if I had trich , I've gotten other tubs where the same thing happens on the mycellium it self , is that from bruising too?


This just happens to be the most recent tub , Do I need to repost this when I have another tub go bad so I can get pictures or can we just move on to the threads topic please

When you pull on a fruit you can damage the mycellium network causing it to need to rebuild and damage the localized area enough to dissuade pin formation from that area again. This occurs even with the twist on occasion so why bother. The stumps are good they turn right back into mycellium and new fruits will pop up right on them oftentimes.

I know it's hard to tell from pics, but, your bottom holes don't look tightly stuffed. If they are not, then too much air flow can cause drying and weakening of the mycelium. This could lead to the appearance of green around those areas.

I have had it happen to my tubs when I first started monos.

I only bring it up because the darkest and most prominent discoloration seems to be around your poly.

I think thats from the bleach mainly

But I will check that poly for its density
