Please Help! Is this contamination?
    #26347967 - 11/27/19 06:06 AM (4 years, 2 months ago)

Hello fellow Psychonauts,

I have just started my first bulk grow and it all looked pretty amazing. Massive amount of pins, good distribution of colonization and a really fast colonization time.

I spawned WBS to Coir/Verm/Gypsum and kept it at around 24° Celsius (75° Fahrenheit).




As you can see in the picture, there is a small suspicious spot on the mycelium (pinning started yesterday).

What do you guys think? Is this a contamination? If so, will the mycelium outrun the contamination or can I do anything about it?

Thanks in advance!

To be honest from what I can tell from the picture you provided, It looks fine to me. If you could post another picture and focus on the area you think is compromised, I would be able to tell for sure.

Well now that I got a better look at it, I think I might see some green trich in there. Could be lighting though. If it looks green in person then you got a case of green trich. If that's your only monotub you got going in your growroom, then go ahead and let it fruit and get what you can out of it. Clean your area out with bleach a few times before you start a new one. :thumbup:

Thanks :-)

It's 1 qt WBS (more Millet) and 3.3 qt of Coir/Vermiculite/Gypsum.

I prepared one 650gr brick of Coir, added 2qt of Verm, a bit of Gypsum and then separated that up into 3 little Tubes.

I have 3 little Tubs (~ 9 liters) in 2 big Tubs (~60 liters) the one with the spot is alone in one big tub. So should I trash for the sake of the other two, in the other big tub?

You will know for sure in a few days.


I bet you its nothing.


Also once fruiting cleanliness isnt a factor.

Move the tub that could be compromised to a different location and allow it to do its thing. In case that is contaminated you would want to keep that far away from your other tubs.

My only concern is, to not infect the other tubs aswell...

So you mean, I don't have to fear spreading onto the other tubs, as they are already pinning?

Ah I read that too late. Ok, do you mean a totally different room, or would the other corner of the room be ok? It's about 3 meters long...

I would move it to a different room, The spores can and will spread around your room if its contamed.:thumbup:

All right, I'll do that then.

Thank you both for your quick help. This is really one of the gratest forums I have seen.

Once fruiting has begun cleanliness isnt a factor.

The whole reason we want to remove a tub we know is contamed is because it will drop spores that could effect future grows. Once the mycelium has colonized everything it will not contam, that is why its safe to fruit at this point.

The air is very dirty and contam filled. Thats why we do the other steps at first.
