Accidently sprayed substrate with 1/10th solution of Clorox.

I have a mini-mono (See my journal for an example), and after filling my spray bottle I set it down just for a moment to open the lid and give it a misting.....
What I failed to do was to move my bottle of 1/10th solution clorox back to the SAB where it belongs.....
I managed about 4 squirts before I realized that the mistake had been made. I instantly picked up the correct bottle and sprayed liberally to hopefully to dilute it more before too much damage was done.
And Yes, my bottles are CLEARLY marked. My clorox bottle has 4 different skull and crossbones on it, and a number of writings (IN RED)
Was mistake that certainly should have been avoided.
My prediction: Death by contamination over the next 4-10 days.
It was a fully colonized sub and a casing layer. Granted I only misted the casing layer, but my concern is that enough damage was done that may open the substrate up to w/e mold spores randomly float in the air. Chlorine will evaporate, but some "items" that are in chlorox don't.

I bet it will be fine if it was really 1/10 and only 4 sprays.

I'm sure it will recover. Mycelium is relatively resistant to bleach.

My op was more of a "Don't try this at home....and point and laugh"
I am pretty sure if I wasn't sober it would never have happened

Funny I also accidentally sprayed some with alcohol. It looks ok, with Alc. Or bleach especially I'd be concerned about them absorbing the toxins in the stuff. I don't know if it's really something to worry about though, I avoid using bleach or potentially toxic products in my household in general.

I see a few pins...horrible pinset. I look over there and see some green in the corner. I will be salting and fruiting as much as possible to get some cloneables.
