Welp, I failed my first Hulk Ball graft. I was checking on it and it knocked off because I’m clumsy. Turns out it was not doing too hot to begin with. As you can see from the butt graft and the before photo (taken right before I knocked it off) there’s a red coating or fungus or something that’s causing issues. I think it was my sterilization setup, guess good ol dish soap isn’t enough. Normally I use Isopropyl but I was running into different red discoloration that isopropyl can cause. I’m not taking any chances on this graft so I used 70% isopropyl (I prefer 90%) to sterilize, took time to dry (I usually am flicking the blade to remove the alcohol but this time I let it air dry) and then re cut everything. Thankfully the discoloration had not penetrated deeply and I was able to carefully slice a thin slice off. I secured it using plastic wrap and rubber bands. I am now covering it in a water bottle so I have more humidity and so I don’t knock it over again.

Any tips so I make sure this isn’t messed up.
