DARK purple spot. Not fuzzy. Contam? Or bruise?
    #28166057 - 01/31/23 02:15 PM (1 year, 11 months ago)

Hello All!
Pretty far into a monotub grow and there's a scary dark blue/purple spot that suddenly appeared on the cake.
It's not fuzzy, doesn't smell, and everything else seems to be A-ok. But I can't find any other pics in posts that look quite like it.
Is this bruising (it's NOT spores)? Or does everything need to be tossed?
Thanks so much!

What is the spot?!
You may choose only one

Its likely water droplets that became stagnant and pooled, facilitating bacterial bloom. That fucks tubs. Wipe your lid if there's too much moisture accumulating. You could try to dig it out I suppose.

You rule. I know that my post isn’t the first of its type, so I truly appreciate your input.
Thinking of hard cutting that entire corner of the cake and pulling the fruits… does bacterial contam mean it’s likely  already in the fruits? 
I’ve got the TMC book recommended in historical posts here on order, but I imagine everything will be too far advanced by the time it gets here two days from now.

Update: it was NOT contam. A sterile scalpel cut out what was in the pic, but the cake was A-OK and produced 1kg on first flush. It seems it was starved for FAE, and when that was ramped up, things took off.
So for those looking at this port in the future, it’s probably just a bruise :smile:
