I have had several fruiting cakes in the chamber for awhile now, 48 hrs. ago i saw pins and and mini fruits coming in. Today when i checked them i freaked out. It looked like mold had suddenly appeared on ALL CAKES within the past 24 hours. I started freaking out and put on latex gloves and rinsed the gloves in isopropyl alcohol (90%) before picking up the cakes to further inspect them.
To my HORROR, the cake i had just picked up a moment earlier now had MOLD EVERYWHERE. I thought to myself but how is that even possible in the span of 5 minutes>? I then realized. After rinsing the gloves
in rubbing alcohol before picking the cakes up the rubbing alcohol residue from the gloves had actually caused mycelium death? and there was never any mold to begin with? I have attached pictures below.
I am looking forward to hearing from some of you more versed growers as to
1.Is there any mold on these cakes or is it the result of the rubbing alcohol residue as I have come to realize?
2. Judging by the pictures, how much damage has been done and judging by the existing pins will I still receive a yield?
3. Other tips for future grows, I'm guessing dont use rubbing alcohol to disinfect anything? My spritzing bottle is 1 part hydrogen peroxide 3% to 10 parts distilled water.
4.Thank you
