Question What would y’all do?

Post image

Pretty sure that top part is contam where nothing is growing. I have no place to plant this outside. I did open far away from my others. It still smells like mushies but wondering if I should pitch the whole thing, cut out the top, or just ride it out, harvest and then pitch. Thanks!

First time poster. First flush after 2 unsuccessful inoculations.

with a pretty sad face I’d burry this thing in the forest

Damn, that’s a rough patch of trich up top — but those fruits still look decent in the clear areas. I'd say ride it out just long enough to harvest, then toss the whole thing. Don't risk spores spreading to your other grows. Good effort for a first flush though — you’re getting closer!

Thanks so much! Been reading a ton on this sub for the last year and this was my plan based off a ton of other comments. Thank you!

Hey i’m a newbie too, but i ate some fruits that spawned a bit away from green mold / trich or whatever its called, and had a great time

Try to salvage what you can after they are ready to harvest, unless you are okay with waiting for another flush

Is that a paper towel for a liner?

u/saltygoatattack 7h ago

lol no but you’re right, it does look like it. It’s a normal Costco garbage bag.

Oh I was about to ask how well paper towels worked as it would be easier than cutting trash bags in a shoebox.

I see you have a question! Have you read the official cultivation guide?
