Pinning with uncolonized substrate
    #26829080 - 07/17/20 01:54 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

A bag has been colonizing for about 5 weeks (it's about 80% done), but has slowed down considerably lately. To the point where it looks like it's never going to finish colonizing, and ready to be tossed in the trash. However pins are starting to appear on the colonized part of the substrate. I've read that this type of scenario indicates contamination.

But what to do now? Open the bag, get FAE going, fruit in-vitro, and at least get something? Let it try to finish colonizing (not sure if it ever will), then fruit it? Toss it? What is the current thinking on how this situation should be handled?

I would allow it to fruit in another area of the room unless you see something sporing all over the place if ya know what I mean :wink: but really just let the pins come to fruition and if a contam appears keep an eye on it or toss it out entirely and hope it grows outside :shrug:

Be sure to know if any contams are sporing because that’s when you’ll fuck up your entire grow area and need to clean everything around if you’re paranoid like I am 😜

Thanks for the response. I decided to try and fruit the bag. I took it to a different area of my house, cut the top of with scissors for some FAE, and took a whiff inside. Smelled NASTY. Took a second whiff to be sure. I'm guessing it was bacteria. I hated to waste the pins, but I threw it out.
