Second Flush Contam?
    #26708902 - 05/31/20 11:05 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hi all,

So after a first successful flush my second one has been somewhat underwhelming, it gave me a couple fruits at first but since then a complete halt in fruiting.

Today I've noticed these white blobs showing up and they seem to be distinctly different to the mycelial blobs after the first dunk and roll...

Accompanied with the greenish tinge spot, time to say goodbye to my first cake?
There's no funky smells as of yet..





Thanks!

I see green clusters in the top right and middle left that resemble Trich. I’d get that away  from your grow and observe it to see if it spreads or toss it altogether

Think I'll probably just trash it, I don't want it to spoil potential future grows.

Does this mean the FC I've used is compromised now and I should get another, or can I just bleach the crap out of it and reuse?

If it is indeed Trich and it sporulated, it would’ve settled on the surfaces BUT you can give it a good clean and you should be fine for future grows. I personally would give it a good clean with ISO then wash it out with soap and water.

Hopefully I caught it early enough to stop the spores spreading all over the damn room!

Thanks for your help

Foreign spores and bacteria are everywhere. When inoculating say a PF Tek jar, you do it in a SAB or flow hood where the contaminants on the outside of your work area don't matter.

If you have other cakes in that chamber, keep an eye on them. If the trich gets a foothold on them, get rid of them ASAP.

But you should be fine for future grows so long as you aren't wafting trich infested cakes around and follow proper technique when working in your SAB or flow hood.

My grow area wasn't the cleanest for my first few grows but that never caused any problems as I obviously did all my inoculating in my SAB and took the necessary precautions beforehand.

(I now run an air purifier between grows but that's more just to put my mind at ease, don't know if it actually does much but at least it helps with my allergies)
