a smell of dirty socks?
    #25141870 - 04/15/18 07:17 PM (6 years, 8 months ago)

So i opened my sgfc an hour ago only to begin smelling a strong odor of dirty socks. I began thinking this was me as i smelled mg clothes and realized well damn i smell pretty damn good so it cant be me...i then start sniffing my cakes and sure enough the two i had stacked smelled just like dirty socks wtf? I knew something isnt right so i researched this and found it may be a bacteria and read somewhere quarantining the cakes and dunking in a h202 solution may solve the problem. So what did i so? I crumbled the two cakes up because i dont have any room to keep infectec cakes near healthy ones and put them in a shallow tubberware container (well shallow enough) mixed in straight h20 and saw it sizzled! Wow that was probably stupid so i went on and made the solution of h202 and let it drain out the holea on the bottom i made. I cut out a couple holes on top of the container because there is not a good amount of transparency to the lid so now atleast it can get substantial light. I mixed in some verm and threw it in my closet next to the sgfc and im going to see what happens.my dumb ass didnt let these cakes colonize completely and was left with small cakes hence why i stacked them. So im wondering if anyone can vouch for me what i did was okay and that i shouldnt throw them away

So i  broke up the mycelium mixed in some verm poured some H202 over the cake let it drain out and dry put away in a closet came back a week later and the mycelium has reattached together as one. No weird smells. Smells like mushrooms. Put it back in the chamber and now all seems good with it:grin:
