Growing Entry with Pics
    #7079956 - 06/22/07 02:24 PM (16 years, 9 months ago)

so ive been growing these 3 cakes for a little while now, i birthed them on day 25 after inoculation when they looked sorta like this, they were fully colonized about almost a week prior to this. One of the cakes was birthed a day after the other two because im using the poor man's terrarium and i needed an extra pop bottle because i screwed up making the other one. Now its been 13 days after all of them have been birthed and im not getting any pinning, the only one i suspect has one little pin, is the cake that had to wait an extra day but it just looks like this little bubble and its growing very slow if its growing at all. Im worried that one of the cakes is contaminated, i thought i had done a good job up til now. Every day i leave them in this little box with christmas lights for about 5-6 hours and i think the temperature reaches about 26 celsius/ 78.8F, is that too hot? and then i leave them in the dark of my closet where its about 23C or 73.4F, I dont what the problem is. I make sure that they are always tightly sealed and i fan them 2 times a day to get CO2 exchange. Can anyone shead some light on here, anything im doing wrong? Ill post more pics later, just ask, but here are two of them, in the first one is that yellow and dark stuff in the middle contam, looks like it, its been there for a while doesnt grow very fast either.. and for the 2nd i dunno if you can see very clearly but you see those little bumps near the bottom, what do you think that is? Thank you for reading this and any comments you have are aprreciated.

The only thing I didn't see you mention was the humidity. Hopefully you're in the 90%+ range using some perlite in those pop bottles or something. Are the cakes really dried out or something? Have you misted them? The spot on the first picture doesn't alarm me much and in the second picture there may very well be knots forming, though I'm not sure what you're referring to by bumps.

perlite.. the tek didnt say anything about that, it said to put a moist paper towel underneath to increase humidity which is what i did. And no the cakes arent dried out completely, should i mist them or something? Here look at them in their little fruiting chamber you can see the condensation on the bottles.

Those tiny speck-like bumps could be knots but maybe not...hard to tell.

We usually use perlite for humidity which works really well. I don't know that moist paper towels are great for it but they might be working. Maybe someone else can chime in and help this fella.

the bumps are knots, you should be using perilite it works much better and will increase your flushes. paper towels are a big contam risk
