Advice Needed on Aborts and Contam
    #12829493 - 06/30/10 03:39 PM (13 years, 7 months ago)

Howdy, I'm on my second grow, which was 3 shoebox size bricks and 2 of Doc T's mini mono's.  One brick died from contams and the 2 mini's I just stuck in my big sgfc because they weren't doing well.








So I've got 2 questions.

1).  One of my bricks is contammed.  I don't have another fruiting chamber, so should I just isolate it in one of the mini mono containers, mist it real good, and hope I get a decent flush before it dies?





(That hole is where the contam first popped up.  I excised it and stuck salt on it.)



2).  I had a slight problem on one of my bricks in my first grow where the all the pins just aborted.  I'm worried about the below brick.  What should I do to help it along?  Avoid mising it, mist, etc?






**Bonus question:  what kind of contam does that look like?

what is your rh? it looks preettty dry to me, which could account for the bluish/green color. it is also possible that the bluing could be a result from the dry fc environment. if you want to make a quick check, but by no means 100% accurate one, just take a qtip and wipe the 'infected areas' if the color comes off then it might be a contam. best of luck to ya man.

It's at 100% or near to it.  I could try the q-tip test but, it's spread from just a little area to a large one pretty quick after I removed that section.

Oh and the one I have questions about aborting, it was in the mono but it dried out some before I figured to tape up all of the holes in the lid.

Don't try to remove contaminants, it's impossible. The q-tip test is also pure bunk.

The good news is that is not contamination, but bruising. It spread quickly because you were handling the area during your attempts to cut it out.

Changing your mind is one of the best ways of finding out whether or not you still have one.

It started off as two round spots on the cake that I swear looked like they were raised a little bit and not just a discoloration.

But I shall trust your eye on that Wygram.  The bluish color doesn't look like a contamination that I've seen anywhere on the boards.  I just want to make sure to isolate that sucker if it does turn ugly.

Any opinions on those pins that don't seem to be growing?  When something like that happens do I cut back on misting, or keep misting because they look dry?

Ah, okey doke.  Should I dunk with the pins still on it Doc?  24 hours?

Pins on, I'd probably do a couple hours to overnight.

And drop your humidity a touch- bulk blocks don't need the superhumid conditions cakes enjoy.

Any good way to do that without overdoing it?  Maybe turn on the overhead fan or put one circulating nearby?  Thanks for the help!

Thanks again Doc, I dunked all 4 bricks and the advice worked out beautifully.  I ended up filling up my 4 tier dehydrator twice off the first flush, yay!  My gf has the camera for the weekend so I don't have final pics.


Here's one with progress.





And on another note, I got a nice flush off of that brick with the bruising or whatnot, but I saw some fuzzy patches of what looked like early trich and had to toss it after.
