Honestly I donโ€™t think it matters. Clone when youโ€™ve got a fruit you want to clone


Well put.

This tub's been going for a few weeks and seemed like it was starting to colonize ok, and then this just popped up pretty much overnight.

I'm assuming the tub is trash, but do I have anything to lose by trying to cut out the infection and seeing if the rest of the mycelium can thrive?

Or do you guys have any better ideas on possibly saving this tub?

Thanks in advance!

You can always try, but most likely it will come back, take a look underneath your tub before deciding how much to cut :lol:

If I see just a small patch of green it's



time unless getting a fruit is the only way to save a precious culture.

I'm on my 5th or so flush. after the second flush I only get side pins. I already soaked the whole block several times.


brominegeek93 said:
there are practically no pins at the top anymore.
any idea why this is?


5th or so flush? Your greed sickens me.
I'm kidding of course. It could be some mild overlay on the top, or the cake might be a bit depleted. Is the top of the substrate hard?

My first grain jar :cool:

Am I right in saying it needs another few days colonisation before spawning?

And it also is bacterial, correct?

I've got a decent question that I haven't seen covered anywhere:  what do we think of adding some dirt from my yard to my cvg and incubating it for a week before pasteurization and spawn to bulk?

It needs more time, yes. And itโ€™s probably a bit bacterial, yes.

@Mistakes

There's prolly more than a few reasons why anybody isn't trying this. Contams being the biggest reason.

I've never had a grow fail in my yard, I think having a mini ecosystem could probably do some wonders for contamination defense. I'm going to test it in a few months once the stash is back to optimal levels

I donโ€™t think youโ€™ll see any benefits against contam, but Iโ€™d be interested to see if your fruit morphology changes. Outdoor fruits always look different.

This is heart breaking.

Can I ask what you think the cause was?

That's trichoderma. Try cutting it out, peroxide, salting it, killing it with fire, playing death metal at unreasonable volumes,  whatever you can think of.  It won't work but everyone tries at least once. It spreads fast and it's already in the places it doesnt appear to be. Comes from bad spawn, uncolonized grains, any way it can get a foothold. It's prolific, everywhere and wants to eat what you're serving. Good clean spawn prevents it

If your source material is contaminated, you might be better off just getting another one, if that's possible. Unless it's a rare/sentimental culture, it might save you a lot of uphill battle.

Certain isolates have reputations as being slow/finicky/difficult in comparison to more robust genetics.

How would Rustywhyte measure in that category?
