What kind of contamination am I looking at?
    #26892055 - 08/21/20 03:44 PM (3 years, 5 months ago)

I spawned this tub on 8/9. Everything seemed to be going well until I noticed these yellowish growths. My first thought is bacteria but I'm hoping for a second opinion. I'm hoping it's bacteria and that I can just keep an eye on it and get at least 1 flush.

66qt, two 1.5" holes on the long side at substrate level, one 1.5" hole just under the handle on the short side, 2 layers of micropore on the low holes and 1 layer on the high holes. It's in a closet and I just started leaving the door open so that the ceiling fan from the room can hopefully circulate. I've also been cracking the lid to fan 3 times per day. Those two changes have only been in the past few days or so. Are there any changes you would suggest? Unfortunately, removing it from the closet isn't an option at the moment.

well being in the closet is not exactly the best place for optimal performance. but ive had monos in closets before and they have done ok. but def leave that door open and keep ur temps in the 70-75 deg range. just play with your micropore tape. being in the closet is constricting the natural air current of the room so ur gnna need to adjust it by playing with it to see where that balance between fae and humidty is.  just keep your surface conditions good and that fae up and u should at least get a few fruits before its totally fucked over.

Yeah, I know it's less than optimal but I'm trying to do the best with what I have. I'll adjust the micropore tape and see if that helps.

By the way, is it a bad idea to try to clone from a bacterial tub? I know that we're already not fruiting in a sterile environment anyway and the inside tissue is sterile but I could see it going either way. What do you think?
