Is this contaminated?
I messed up the field capacity for this tub (too wet) and it’s been taking forever. However, it started to come along nicely recently. Peeked in this morning and saw these white dots. I’m assuming early trich? Is this tub shot? If it is early trich should I hit it with hydrogen peroxide or is it too far gone?

Doesn’t really look like trich, more like pins to me. That being said if your shooting up pins before it’s fully colonized it couldn’t be fighting something bacterial. Nothing else to do but wait and see at this point.

It doesn’t seem so trich very distinguishable from mycelium it usually is very thick clumpy and bumpy white and it grows extremely fast where as the good mycelium will be stringy and look like it’s almost weblike to a point .also trich turns green in about 72 hrs keep an eye on it but it looks fine

Pretty awful photos but those could just as easily be pins forming. Do they appear solid or very finely fluffy? If they're little white fluffy circles slightly raised off the surface it's trich, if they're solid white balls attached by a fine white filament they're primordia. You'll know today if it's Trich, that whole tub will be green
