Soap Suds
    #8052333 - 02/21/08 03:20 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

A few days ago I placed a few cakes in my fruiting chamber. I've grown various mushrooms before and this is all the same equipment I've always used but now it seems I am having a problem with soap suds. I have an aquarium pump with two bubble wands buried beneath some hydroton(clay rocks). I've used this hydroton several times and wash it after every use. This time I must have used way too much dish washing liquid because no matter how many times I rinse the hydroton, as soon as I turn on the pump suds start to form. I've tried boiling the hydroton and rinsed it several times with plain water but the suds keep coming back. I realize I will probably want to replace my hydroton but I already have cakes in the fruit chamber. I've moved the cakes around so the suds aren't touching the cakes directly but they are obviously absorbing a small amount of dish washing liquid through the moisture in the air. Is this going to completely trash growth? Should I even expect anything at all? I've been opening up my incubator every 5 or 6 hours to wipe the suds out. If I do get any growth will it even be safe to ingest? I know some people like to use a small amount of dish washing liquid when watering some house plants but am unsure of the effect it will have on my grow. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Pretty funny, as long as you're fully colonized it probably won't matter. Keep going maybe the soap will even help. It's a data point anyway.

Good luck,

Yeah, they're fully colonized. Thanks for the reply. I'll try and update this thread with the results.

I've found my mycodome(bought it a few years ago) and was wondering if it would be a safer bet for me to switch over to my mycodome from the FC that is accumulating suds.
