Alright real cult confession today.

I've scooped green out of like 5 tubs with a spoon. I know conventional wisdom says the tub is fucked when it rears it's head but I'm stubborn and still haven't grown enough to be cool with chucking a whole as tub. Does it result in a less than great grow each time? Yes. Does it grow each time though? Also yes.

Disclaimer: I know good and well I'm not getting rid of it but the hope has been to slow it down enough to get something from the tub.

My most recent "you're not gonna die on me" is some Gandalf that I hadn't seen fruit from




I confess with you! I just had a tub a few days ago start producing beautiful SSKS specimens and then green popped up. I sprayed it with 35% peroxide, took a knife cut a big border around it, and took a spoon and took the chunk of the tub. Then I sprayed iso and clean the sides and bottom where I took the chunk out. Maybe unorthodox, but I said fuck it, if I’m gonna dump this motherfucker anyway, why not try a last ditch effort and see what happens. So far no more green, and tons of pins. Plus I have a spot to dump water for bottom watering!

The past few pages of conversation... You guys... I cried a little over it.

And damn LKn, every day I like you more.

I confess that I laid down everything except for alcohol when kid no 1 was in the making, and after ten years of continuous weed use, kicked it. Only to start again seven years later, as it was the one habit that I wanted to take on again. Being stoned as a shrimp gives me a form of peace with humanity that I can't otherwise achieve. Growing older and seeing a lot of people die from cancer, I feel a lot of guilt towards my kids for smoking weed (with tobacco), but on the other hand it's the one thing I allow myself (kicked all amphetamines, being vegan, cycling 200 kms/ wk, drink alcohol about 5x/ yr, I don't heat the house, nor fly on planes, etc etc). I feel guilt over it, but tell myself that I only do it when the kids are at their mom's, so it's ok. I don't even want to live till old age. But damn I don't want my kids to stand at the hospital bed when I have lung cancer.

Re: trade ratings. I looked at the empty international stamps packages in the letter drawer and sent out 23 letters, got 10 ratings for that. I kind of get the feeling that it's not how it's supposed to be, but on the other hand, I have enough ratings for people to comfortably trade with me. So as far as I'm concerned: it served its purpose.

On the other hand anders left me a 5* general rating for misinterpreting my sarcasm and that one stings.

On the bright side, at least you got some decent fruits from it first.

I confess I went through the “trying to save a tub” cycle at least a dozen times before I finally learned.

Next time cover the green in salt paste. Cutting out trich just spreads it around. Id rather contain it myself.

Spraying peroxide also sounds like a good way to spread spores

I had the same assumption so I hadn't done that. Figured if it's gotta recover from wherever it started it would slow it.

I mean, none of that shit really actually works, especially after a substrate starts turning green. Green is spores. Spores mean that the trichoderma has had a chance to check out the neighborhood, decide that there's a decent living to be made in this zip code, settle into a studio apartment, make the rounds dating, meet someone and marry them, move into a single-family home in that new development on the edge of town, land a solid remote-work job, and pump out 2.5 kids. A little salt, a little iso, and a few scoop-outs with a kitchen spoon are minor inconveniences at most.

But it just seems like we all have to go through it to reach that conclusion ourselves.

Pretty much. I only suggest salt to help heep the spores from actively spreading to finish a flush


I jus say fuckit

Yeah, it's really not gonna do that, either. We might not see the same green mushroom cloud, but the spores are definitely still getting everywhere. Then again, trich spores are literally already everywhere.

The trich mycelium that's already established in the substrate will probably begin decomposing EVERYthing before those new spores even germinate.

I myself am very meticulous about pulling tubs as soon as I see a spot of green, NOT harvesting them, and immediately removng them from the shelf. Then I typically stack them up over time, either in the hallway or in a different room, until I've got a stack of lime-green trich farms to empty out. To the point where I should probably be wearing a respirator. But hey, at least I'm meticulous about the first part. I say that it's because I don't want to spread spores around when I run the dehydrator, but really I think it's just that picking through those half-rotten bacterial subs (trich is just nature's clean-up crew) is such a pain in the ass, as I've seen first-hand all the weird spots where fruit from tubs like that might have gone off. Like a whole container of salad greens that's only 60-70 percent usable, but you still gotta pick through it and sniff everything and look for slimy leaves.

Kinda sounds like I'd date Trich, tbh.

Lol I knew so.one was gonna say that bout the boomer shrromer.  That was my first sticker W  FIRST purchase as a noob.


And what's the problem with the make America grow again. I'm definitely not a trumpy if that's what you're thinking.

I think it's actually pretty funny making fun of trump. Im mexican i. Texas and that fool can fall of a cliff already.  Sorry guys. not really trying to be political
Or break any rules.

Making America great again is Trump shit and laughable. Now if all of us grew mushrooms. That would be an awesome  dream. That's how I feel about that sticker.



  By the way that sticker came straight from fiiddy himself when I was supporting his business.
