Metabolite or Contam?
    #26999205 - 10/23/20 07:00 AM (3 years, 3 months ago)

Hey Everyone, Thanks to everyone on this forum I've successfully gleaned a first flush from my mono tub. I debated dunking it for the second flush since everything seemed to be going well, but after reading on here I decided to give it a try.

I dunked for about 45 minutes to bring up to field density, and let thoroughly drain. I ran the fan over it for about an hour afterward to make sure there was no pooling water on top, and put the lid on. An hour later I checked my humidity sensor and everything checked out (climbing back up toward 90RH).

When I woke up in the morning I found the following yellow splotching on the top of my mycelium, and it discouraged me because of all the work I put into this. My gut says it's contaminated but I'm hoping there's a chance it's just a strange presentation of Metabolite.

Substrate is 50% shredded, consolidated BRF cakes and 50% Sterilized CC/Verm Mix. Looked beautiful and healthy and gave large, healthy fruits for first flush.

Both. Looks like it fought off whatever it was (i suspect a localized bacterial infection) but keep an eye on that one as it or something else might come back. Should get a flush out of it.
