I've never ran into something like this before. Should I suck up this excess fluid with a sterile syringe? The bin is golden teacher wbs 6Qt spawn to 1 brick coir made on August 20th I believe. ANY advice would be very appreciated! thank you for your time <3


*UPDATE* 9/8

**UPDATE** 9/19

But it's so excessive. Would sucking the fluids out lower the chance of contaminates all together?

I'm still new to all this myself bro I'm almost positive that is metabolites But not really sure what, if anything, you can do The excessive amount is probably cause it's already contaminated or maybe an environmental issue But I would wait for someone more knowledgeable to answer Good luck I hope all turns out well!!!

Metabolites. You can suck it up, or not. Either way it's fine

I hope it's metabolites and not contaminated. I've made plenty of bins and never have I seen this much fluid buildup.

To fix this issue u must potty train your colony of mycelium Be a better parent these are your children! You children are growing in a pee pee box... you should be tried in court for neglect. All jokes aside, that is quite a but of metabolites, which are there for a reason so try to figure out the reason and fix it and hope that it isn't contams.

I was afraid of that but i'm going to try and suck it up and see what happens. Man that would be such a shame to have to toss it.

I wanted to suck it out because it's a pretty substantial amount and I don't think the myc will grow under water. I could be wrong. Took these pics of the side so you can see why the corner won't colonize. It's under fluids.

OK so I decided to drain the tub..... about 45mL was extracted. In the name of science I decided to put the fluid into a container. There was no oder but I smelt a feint lysol aroma if you will. Call me crazy but I dipped my pinky into the container and..... tasted it. It was very sweet tasting with a hint of lysol. I put the tub on an angle so the uncolonized area would continue to drain.
