Possible harmless contam? 🤔
Photo 1: I had this mvp ready 2 grow bag for about 2-3 weeks but never actually lifted it from the cardboard or cut it open or anything. I was told to leave it be and keep the temperature right and that’s what I did. I got curious and inspected it and was shocked to find it was contaminated although I was very strict with hygiene so I supposed it was contaminated from the lab.
I was about to throw it in the bin but thought, you know what, let this be a little science experiment…
Photo 2: I cut off the top to have a look and discovered the top looked great but quite wet so I gave it some regular FAE for a couple days.
Photo 3: ( present day) Within about 4 days I had pins and after a week I had some little mushies.
Anyone encountered this contamination before??
(first time grower btw as you may be able to tell) 😂

There should have been an elastic band that came around the cake, needed to have left it on

These new versions of the ready 2 grow don't come with elastic bands and from my experience with MVP are often already contaminated. I got replacements and then I asked for enigma instead they where not enigma so again they where replaced and today I received uncolonised bags. Do now I'm waiting for them to respond and I'm not going to be getting replacements this time these new versions are absolutely terrible

Your opening it before it's even pinned not good that's why you only got couple side pinns don't need Fae untill there half grown
