I thought this was par for the course for Jambo's

I can't really tell from the pic, but overlay is more rubbery. This looks fluffy.

I will not argue there, it's not like how my Ochra overlay was and I have read that Jambo is know for eeehh whatever this is called if it is not called overlay

So I just let it ride then?

I mean is there a choice?

Well I could put on a new casing, cry in front of the mirror for an hour or maybe, just maybe, have a panic attack

Seriously though, thanks for helping me relax, feels better with a more experienced pair of eyes having a look.

Jambos have been giving me a hellava time.  Been trying to get em to colonize for a couple months.  CS on low nute didn’t help so now I went to WA to try and sus out whatever is riding with em. 

This is a Tex clone that I removed a 1/4” solid overlay layer on the entire surface after first flush and recased.  The sub underneath the layer was super dry.  Flooded the sub again before recasing just to see what would happen (Tex fruits from overlay).  Took longer to get this 2nd flush but turned out pretty well

Thanks for the insight. I usually pull the fruits when I harvest and unless is just a couple of fruits, scrape off the casing and apply a new one for the next flush. Good to know that might apply to a fully colonized casing as well and I'll be sure to soak it both before and after applying a new casing. I was unsure if they would fruit through the overlay

Sorry to hear your Jambo's are giving you a hard time, and I'm sure you'll get it cleaned up, but if not and I get some fruits from mine, I'll gladly send you a print. That second flush Tex are looking stellar though

Pasteurized cactus soil 🌵

Cool, I've been using 50/40/10 coir/cactus soil/verm, I changed cactus soil brand for this round of pans and was wondering if that could be a reason for the overlay, but it seems this is just the way of the Jambo's

Next time I may do the bucket screen thing like Tree Frog does to get out all the little sticks and whatnot. Although it wasn’t too bad picking out a few larger pieces.
