Please help! Fluffy cotton balls like on cakes! (PICS)
    #13003122 - 08/04/10 06:31 PM (14 years, 5 months ago)

Well we fruited them like a week & half ago. & we did dunk them.
I'm really worried because it looks like cobwebs almost & I heard a little bit about cob web mold ;(. But I also heard that it could just be the mycelium is still colonizing while fruiting? Idk this is my first grow & it has me really worried.
The temps when we first put them in where around 80 & humidity was over a hundrend I know thats bad but we couldnt get it to go down for a couple of days. now its at like 70 71.
If anyone could please give any information at all. I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance :/

Well I bought a grow kit from vision & it came with a light & air pump. the air pump turns on 30mins in the day time & 30mins at night.
Do you think I should cut little holes in the fruiting champer?
or is the air pump enough.
& How much light is good for them?
is to much light bad?
Sorry for all the questions just so new to this
Thanks so much!!

You want 12 hours of 6500K light daily.

I would ditch the air pump and make a shot-gun style fruiting chamber.  Drill 1/4" holes every 2" and fill the bottom with 4-5" of perlite.

Of course, then there's the problem of eating vermiculite. On the bright side, it makes your poop and teeth glitter.  Just pretend it's christmas.

Not contaminated- they are tring to colonize the still air. Fan it out.

Assuming the off-white stuff on top of the cake in the 3rd pic is perlite vermiculite, then no, they don't look contaminated.  As the boys said, you probably just need to improve your fruiting chamber conditions.

I've seen some of that aerial mycelium happen when I let cakes 'consolidate' for a bit too long in the jars.  They seemed to still be in an aggressive colonization mode when fruited, and didn't produce as many flushes.  This is just my speculation and you can probably safely ignore this paragraph.
