Did I Screw Up ??
    #10347780 - 05/16/09 08:34 AM (14 years, 9 months ago)

Guys i know this has been asked a hundred times , and i've looked at the different contamination pictures , and i think i've screwed up , that's why I'm asking , i've got some green stuff forming on top of my cakes.
I'm new to both , this forum , and growing , so can you help please ?how i arrived at this is .... ,in my grow chamber, i put in wet Perlite (drained) , and keep it wet , along with spraying / misting EVERY day ( at least twice a day )since last Sunday , 6 days ago , it seems like from everything I've read , I've keep them TOO wet .
this green on top of my cakes can't be good ..???
i've enclosed a picture , (i hope it uploaded right)
thanks for the advice guys ..

looks like trichoderma or penicillin mold. but do NOT take my word..wait for a trusted cultivator to tell you what you should do with this problem..
if it was me i would take that cake out of the terrarium and remove that spot with a flamed red hot spoon.
but i am no pro.
how long after 100% colonization did you birth the cake?

Well, the pic doesn't zoom for me, but green isn't good.
You mentioned misting- how often do you fan?

You make it all possible. Doesn't it feel good?

I'm thinking it wasn't a day or two after colonization ,
but again , I'm no expert , it may have been early , it was about 3 weeks after i shot them up , they turned white ( like in the video )
and then i birthed them ..

are you using a shotgun fc?
yes, you need to actually move the air, with fanning or such

stagnant air breeds contams

if you are using a shotgun fc you should probly fan 4-5 times a day, imo

Take the lid off and use the lid to fan your fruiting chamber atleast twice a day.

You can just fan out your FC with it's lid.

i personally think the addition of fans in or around a terrarium with CAKES is a bad idea..because pf cakes dry out easily. even leaving the lid off for too long isnt a good idea.
if you have to be gone all day then maybe crack the lid?
but listen to what we are all saying and just leave the lid on all the time except when you take it off to fan and spray the inside 3-5 times a day.

at least, you could fan every other hour...I always fan and mist, unless the cakes are saturated, then I just fan.

Im just a noob, but that might not be mold.  I have seen blue/green spots on cakes and it can be from brusing or dehydration, like a previous poster said.  I would wait for it to spread before ditching it.  I would make a small shotgun and put suspect cakes in it, so as to not infect others, if it is mold.  I also remember reading about swabbing the area with a q-tip, if there is color on it, its mold and get rid of it, far away from there.  Hope this helps.

I'm 86% certain that that's mold.

Thats not mould. IMO its bruising.


mould will look like coloured sand ontop of the mycelium

Possibly from a large droplet of water,

You're right. Now that I zoomed in, it DOES in fact look more like a bruising to me.
Sorry.
