Thanks @shag ! Youā€™re a major player in me getting to this point, once I figured out what you were talking about. A fair bit of reading involved. @TopShelfTrees1 is my best cheerleader. Hands down!

Well If you grew cocoa, RDWC or hydro Iā€™d have you 100% only soil Iā€™ve ever used was pro mix lol and usually for outdoor ! Always got you brother! Itā€™s funny how tight those of us from the lab remain huh. Man I havenā€™t popped in in months now come to think

Not gonna lie if I could afford it Iā€™d fill my 4x8 with Living Soil and give her hell and once figured out Iā€™d add it everywhere. Just makes sense to me, you guys are like a mix of both. Itā€™s pretty cool

Been meaning to post this. Iā€™m a compost tea brewer. I use Microbe Man Tim Wilsonā€™s formula. This last time I switched to Earth Juice hi brix molasses. Seemed to go off sooner. When I checked the day after watering, every pot had a layer of spooge growing on it. The stuff in my brewer kept reproducing until it was a sludge. Been a bit warm and humid here. Never seen anything like it. I broke it up, but was back in a day but not as heavy.
Any thoughts @shag? Anyone else? Good? Bad? Curious for sure.

You could save a buck and use table sugar instead.
Actually something like sugar in the raw is better.
I do not recomend trehalose for this as the microbe use it for food and they donā€™t care how much you pay for it.

Cheap as you can and as raw as you can is my suggestion.
Do you use a vortex brewer?

Yellow stuff may be dog vomit.
Donā€™t have a dog?
Thatā€™s okay, this may be a fungus called slime moldā€¦AKA dog vomit. :face_vomiting:

It does not really look like it but maybe it is just starting out.
I would be careful breathing the dust, us spring chickens may have a lower tolerance for the stuff.

What to do?
It could be beneficial.

It is a long shot but maybe @JoeCrowe can identify it.
He is pretty spot on with microbes and such.

Not harmful to living plants. Not for human consumption. Toxic. Never seen anything like it. I can make tea without it. @shag I brew in a clean trash can. Just for water and tea. Not a cleaned trash can with lots of yuck. I run a large flat stone. I also run a pump in it, keep it moving. Usually about 24 hours. I used to have a microscope. Got into looking at the critters. Interesting. I got good at gauging when it was done. Then broke my microscope. I did it long enough not to worry too much.
Ive found when itā€™s done, I use it up then. It goes off and then it just stinks. My yard loves it! I used it a lot when I ran a bunch outside.

You think it could have been introduced in one of the brew ingredients like EWC or Compost? I had open bags that had been around. Stored in a big tote that gets steamy.

Usually itā€™s in the soil. Iā€™ve had those mushrooms grow before and they arenā€™t dangerous.

I have had those little yellow mushrooms grow before myself.
Thank you again!

Fall back. Regroup. Start again. New soil, new solos, RO. Rat and mouse traps purchased. Got lots I want to run, just need to decide what. Iā€™m tempted to start one thatā€™s a Sativa leaning thatā€™s longer flowering than Iā€™m used to. Weā€™ll see. Plenty of other awesome choices.

@jaws Dawgs of War and Bubblegum Chem. @SHSC-1 here we go. Supercollider Kush in there too. @Kind024 Strawberry Diesel x Sour Cookies. Pretty sure this is from TJ. Is this what you were calling Sweet and Sour Cookies? Regardless, thatā€™s up too. That SD was good by itself. Strawberry Goo too.

One more. Been a couple batches since I ran any @Great_lakes_Genetics freebies. Those seeds have been good to me. I splashed some Runaway Bride. I ran these when they were still labeled testers, and no #4,5 6 etc. I ran them outside. All I really remember is they turned such a dark purple, they looked black. And my wife really liked them. I remember those.
I was shooting from the hip, not knowing much. Getting lucky quite a but. Now I know a little more, thanks boys and girls. Going inside with these.

TW Meds.50 days. Buds are bulkier than the other TW. Enough amber to cut. I could use the space. I want to open up the big Romulan cross. No hard stuff. Stake and re-stake in a few days. Buds are stacking nice, I donā€™t want to confuse her too much.



35 days on this one.
