Contamination?
    #21785412 - 06/09/15 08:17 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Just pulled a few cakes from dunking them after the first flush. Looked at one of them and looks a little weird. The white on this doesn't seem right and it smells off. This is my first grow and starting on the second flush so I'm not sure. Any help would be awesome.

That's trich, toss it and if you have any other cakes keep an eye on them. That shit seems to get around pretty quick

Trichoderma - Dispose of it and wash your clothes, hands, soaking tub, and if you've put it into the fruiting chamber already, maybe that too.

I took it out but it's been in my chamber for about 12 hours. How likely is it to spread? I have 11 other cakes in the chamber.

It definitely sporulated all over but trich spores are all over the place no matter what, it's more trying to keep that spore load to a minimum to keep success rates higher. If the cakes are healthy enough they won't tam out. They usual get taken over by contamination during recovery from a previous harvest, that's when the myc is at it's weakest and of course the older the myc the more aged and weak it becomes

I don't think it eats mycelium per say, but could be wrong. If I'm right, and your cakes are fully colonized already, you should be cool. Just keep a close eye on them in case there's more trich

I guess I'll keep an eye on the 5 that I just started with their second flush. I have 6 that are still fruiting that should be ok then, correct? My first experience with contamination wish I knew how I picked it up.

Should be good, just keep an eye on them and it's always a good idea to dunk each cake seperatly in the 1/2 pint jars to keep cross contamination to a minimum. And trich is pretty noticeable in it's white stage before sporulating and turning green, it has a very fine grainy appearance like very fine white sand

Also, the only reason I noticed it was it looked like it was growing over the verm that was left after I pulled it from the water. Then when I smelled it, it has a very odd smell. Is there any other way to notice it? Since the mycelium is also white.

Once, I woke up stoned with the munchies, and I wandered downstairs to make a sandwich; I didn't bother to turn the lights on and I bit right into a trichoderma infested sandwich. It was.. spicy? I don't know how else to explain it. If your cakes are spicy, then you know to toss them. (Kidding)

Woke up this morning and another cake has fallen victim. This cake was just finished with its first flush. Hadn't even taken it out to dunk it yet. Contamination is a dirty whore.

Damn dude, at least you got a few fruits from it; Are you going to try to make an attempt at getting a clean transfer from agar?

This is my first grow so I haven't even looked into using agar. I have 10 cakes left that I'm hoping don't get contaminated.

Good luck man; I would say make a LC from one of those caps if you have the time. Hopefully it won't contaminate, and then your next grow will go a lot faster.

I have 5 syringes of LC so I'm not really lacking. But why would it go faster?

Also how do you clean perlite? Or should I just throw it away?

LCs colonize substrates faster than spore syringes is all I meant. Also, I've heard of people soaking their perlite in a water/bleach combo, or hydrogen peroxide. I got my bag of perlite for $3 though, so I'd probably just replace it all.
