First grow in 23 years - contaminated?
    #27049552 - 11/20/20 08:26 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

So I very first and last grow I did pftek BRF cakes 23 years ago. I decided for my first grow in 23 years I would try my first monotub with some B+ spores. I did slurry tek on Monday (4.5 days ago) to coir and verm. It looked good, but today I am paranoid it has a cob web infection. Unmodified tub method as well. Thoughts?

Looks like you've got some kind of pin mold.

The middle doesn't look good, and I saw some other areas throughout with chunks of dense rigid looking white that looks inconsistent with your stated timeline and a healthy sub. Did you used to do slurries before stopping cult, or is this a new tek you found as you got back into it? There are a lot of variables in using a slurry tek as far as potential vectors go and a little ambitious for a first grow back in 23 years. All of that said, I will keep my fingers crossed for you, but to my eye that doesn't look like a tub that will produce.

I think the rigid white you are looking at is some of the grains that have heavy myc growth on some of the millet and rye.  Slurry was after reviewing hundreds of posts/teks/videos over the last year or two as I planned on getting back in.

For the slurry I used distilled water in the blender in front of my flow hood and mixed into tub in front of flow hood.  Blender and tub were wiped down with alcohol and I wore gloves.

You definitely have Sporophores. Or pin mold. Not sure if it can be salvaged or not. Should let a more experienced grower chime in.

Sporophores - Sporophores are the spore producing structures of a fungus. In some cases they're large enough to see individually without magnification. When the spores mature most change color making it obvious they're present. However, with a good eye they can be identified before that occurs. The appearance of the larger sporophores before maturation typically resembles a small whisker with a white dot on the end.
