@cornne, I THOUGHT the vendor I had were white but like yours there is a touch of pink in them. Some look pure white and others not so much. The left center pod is just starting with the white that I mixed in.

They look promising..very promising! The polka dot plant hates light, so a machine like the Classic,arvest or SS6 are perfect hoods. I will be taking mine out from under the Bounty Hood and putting them in the ultra when the beans are harvested.
