Oops, doused a corner of substrate, what do? (if anything?)
    #28714793 - 03/26/24 01:59 PM (2 months, 29 days ago)

Oops! I was trying to rewet the papertowel i have in the bottom of the tub where I'm keeping two small to-go trays of pf-to-bulk substrate.


(Edited to add a pic of my setup, realized it might not be clear.)

As I was going to pour into the corner of the tub I got my angle wrong and splashed it onto the corner of the tray. :facepalm3:

There were some dry spots on the walls and rather than mist it everyday (which I've read is not ideal) i added a few splashes more water to the papertowel so they're really wet down there (like a watertub I think, got the papertowel idea from one of Bod's comments abouT PF tek, could've been old tho).

Anyway this is a pic of the result, you can see the nice looking myc and the sad little corner I doused accidentally (sorry little myceliums).



What I want to ask is:

Did I fuck it up really bad? To the point that I'm just guaranteeing contamination in this wet spot that's there forever now?

Can I just leave it and let it kind of take care of itself? It wasn't a lot of water but it is a small tray. Will the coir kind of pass the moisture around a bit, especially if it might be a little dry as I'm suspecting?

Am I being a helicopter parent and everything's fine? 🥲 Or am I fucking up in other ways not obvious to me, a simple noob?

I also have a grow log in my journals if it helps.

Thanks for any input on this little setback. I love this forum. ✨️

Thanks everybody, things have been going so well for the most part i guess I'm just holding my breath for something to be a disaster lol. 😅 Looked at them today and they don't seem any worse for the wear. Thanks y'all!
