perlite growing white stuff ???
    #10103731 - 04/04/09 03:27 AM (15 years, 9 months ago)

yeah so I was just checkin out the fc and theres was a white growth all around the areas where I had a tray sitting... at first I was thinging cob web but after looking at it more its not fluffing like cob does and its as white as the perlite not the usual greyish.. no pics cause my camera sucks... theres tons of purple color from spores ince the perlite is  a couple months old.. any ideas what this may be? I'm gonna bake the perlite tomorrow cause I'm broke and can't get new right now but still curious what's goin on

I agree totally. However, this forum isn't for the experienced growers, because they already know the ropes.  It's for the new growers who are just starting out.  Sometimes the hardest part about learning something new is un-learning bad info.  That's why I tend to correct people for calling a substrate tray a 'casing', etc.

It's not mycelium, is it? If you had it creep out from a cake, that could be the case.

It's really hard to give any sound advice without a picture.

I know I'm sorry but the pics don't show anything just solid white it might as well be a pic of a piece of paper...

I haven't had cakes in there in a while just tubs ... I thought "maybe  myc" but how would itgrow on perlite without any nutes? it miht just be cob but I really don't think so

Its not cobweb for sure if its white. cobweb is grey and hairy and will grow very rapidly. You would be surpised what can grow from literaly nothing but water.



You dont need to replace your perlite, just clean it every month, either with a bleach solution or baking it in the oven for an hour at 350F

take a spoonfull and spawn it to something for shits and giggles :shrug: or put a bit in some agar.

i did a grain LC and before i did i was discussing storage of the remaining liquid here and someone reminded me that the myc wouldn't grow because there's no nutes in the plain water, yet it is. slightly but very noticeable. also i have a 2 month old syringe of pearl oyster i made off a print in the fridge and it's starting to look like a fairly thick LC.

you said there were spores everywhere so hey, ya never know!:biggrin:

dunno if it would work I pulled everything out last night and sprayed the perlite with alcohol it was all I could think of at the time.. didn't have bleach an was soo tired I didn't wanna bake and fall asleep. it was 2am.. I have tons of spores and 2 jars of colonized wbs to make myc water so I don't wanna fuss with a unknown growth if it is myc... could be cambo or B+ since I grew both in there
