I have had similar looking issues. I wonder about my tap water now. You know when I started back up, come to think of it, I for some reason remembered using bottled water for dunking cakes and misting. I had thought maybe it was because I was on well water back in the day. My early cakes did amazing and then I did a couple mini monos from spore, and misted with same water. Never had fucked up fruits. Then I started using tap water and started seeing some issues. This started around the same time I think, I should go back to bottle water, lol.
Hey here are some shoeboxes for ya!

I had them worse with Costa Rican. Others have given little to no freaks. Could also be that others, like Z strain and LGT can just handle it better.

I'm switching today to try 2:2 instead of 1:1.5, see how they yield differently.

You know, if you look at the pics of the 4 shoe boxes I posted up above, there are a few blob looking ones that may come out fucked up, and I have been using tap water. Damn I need to go get me a few gallons tonight.

Yeah 2qts to 2qts lol. What's your minimono like mush?
I have been trying to dial my mini mono in and am just confused at what to change anymore. It yields alright but every time I open it, it's dry. I'm just treating it like a cake and misting/fanning it at this point.
The mini is 2 qts spawn to 3qts sub

Micropore tape could make for more accurate fine tuning than polyfill. A casing layer might be in order.

Do you think I'm fine using my own well water? I'm assuming city folk with the treated water is the main problem with mutants?

Yeah I don't have any of that. Pipe drilled down hundreds of feet into water table, pump, straight to pressure tanks, and into my toilet. I think I'm good

I can tell this morning that I am going to end up with some blob/mutants. I have to run some errands to day and am making damn sure I pick up a few gallons of bottled water. I will see if that has anything to do with it. It is possible that I was misting a little bit heavy at the start of the temp drop 5 days back. This could have slowed down water consumption and in turn caused a bit of over saturation. I am still trying to figure out if those fucked up fruits could have a correlation to bacteria or over saturation of substrate, which would in turn promote bacteria growth. Then again it could be my tap water. I will have to do some comparisons and see what happens.
