What s this sap/honey substance?
    #27011684 - 10/30/20 09:04 AM (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hi All,

This is my first post and my first grow.  I used popcorn tek for grain spawn, then transferred to coco coir/vermiculite monotub. Had it in a black plastic bag for 20 days (after 10 it didn't look fully colonized).  Now I've got small pins and I don't think I see any mold but there's this golden translucent liquid on the surface.  Almost looks like honey or sap.  Is this a contamination?

I think I saw something somewhere a while back that referenced natural mycelium discharge but can't find it again. I looked through contamination galleries and didn't find anything that looked similar.

If it is a contamination, could I surgically remove it so as not to loose the whole tub?  It's just one spot, in a corner, about three inches.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome!

This is Metabolite. You can read a lot more about it if you search the forum. I can see that there's a bit of a dip in your surface area near that corner, which is causing some water to pool (a common cause for metabolite formation). You can blot it up gently with a clean paper towel.
