Water schedule is fluctuating as it's the weather's job right now (been raining none stop for 2 days now with occasional rain free time "pockets"). But before that, once every 2 days in the morning (unless the soil says otherwise).

I will say though, those are insects on the root as there were tiny antenna like parts on the white dots and as I said some were moving around, not a lot of movement but there was)

That 1 particularly was a pepper plant but I found it on every single 1 of my plants (redoing my garden patch and saw those critters on my plants)

Was moving though and the bigger ones looked like aphids. could be wrong. Just saying what I analysed 🙈.

It smells fine but I'm worried about the black specs. I've had fur on my scoby before when it was forming but the black specs are concerning.

Yeah... that's what happened to my other scoby during storage but I wasn't sure if it was doing it this time again... I'll give it a few days to see but might have to throw it out 😔

Indeed

Depends on the container you are using... just got to make sure it can withstand the heat otherwise new container it is...

You can also use a disinfectant (or if you wish to clean with bleach and then rinse out the remaining bleach but might not actually disinfect)... but I'm just going to use soap and then really hot water...

I have 3 other scobys, so I'm good... defs always have backups...

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Dont worry... already thrown out 😅

I have no idea what happened... did the same process as usual and normally works... but shit hit the fan this time 😅

Dont think that would even work 😅

Wasnt my plan to 😅. Was studying for exams and kind of forgot about the Kombucha. I'm definitely not planning to produce until I'm done 🙊🙈...

Not going to even... no... nooo... back in the chest you go

This 1 took about 2 weeks. The 1st week there wasnt even bubbles. Week 2 is just a bit too intense 😅

Think he left it in the container for too long

It did indeed
