dunk & effect

tryptaminer · 09-20-09, 11:48

swim has noticed a "hair gel" like substance on sections of certain cakes following a recent dunk....

any concerns out there based on this description?

post a picture if possible so we can see what you mean by the sound of it they will need to be trashed

It's bacteria and stress to the cakes. Just rinse the cakes off well under the faucet after the dunk. To prevent that, just use a drop of bleach in the dunk water. 1 drop and that's it. They're fine, don't worry.

I have seen that before. Just like Lazlo says, it's surface bacteria, easily defeated with a tiny bit of bleach.

cakes are well established, third successful flush,

fair to say the bacteria/etc, will be beaten by the myc? fruits?

good tip for next dunk/flush

Like Lazlo said, you just need a single drop of bleach in your dunk water. The mycelium is getting older and weaker, though. You should get another flush or two, I would think.

swim would never expect more than 4 flushes w/o problem,

unexpected would fit the description
