HELP! My cakes are turning blue!!!!
    #15693665 - 01/20/12 04:00 PM (12 years, 5 months ago)

I know, this means they are dehydrated.

Basically, on a few isolated spots on the cakes, and not on every cake, I'm starting to see a slight, slight, SLIGHT bluing. I fear my cakes aren't getting enough moisture. I'm misting like 5 times a day, and these mists are very GENEROUS.

Remember, I'm the guy who only drilled holes on 5 sides of his FC. Yeah, yeah I know. I'm fixing this hopefully tomorrow.

I can find 3 explanations. I want you helpful folks to review my explanations and give me your insight.

1. There's a fan, set on low, in the closet with the FC designed to give FAE. This fan is actually hurting the cakes by drying them out.

2. The 5 out of 6 sides with holes is more hurtful than I anticipated, and I need to get them into a 6 sided FC ASAP.

3. The lack of perlite is the reason. I only have 1 inch instead of 4.

The only thing I can change right this instant is removing the fan. The perlite and lack of holes will have to wait until tomorrow. Should I remove the fan?

I'm guessing it's all 3, but I want you guys to concur. Also is there any hope if this really is bluing (it's hard to tell with the verm roll covering the cakes) or am I SOL?

Bruising of your cakes is probably from too much misting instead of too little like you think. Did you dunk your cakes? Even if not I doubt that fan is drying them so much as to cause bruising.

I don't have a successful grow completed yet so this is all just based off what I've read around here

Bluing cakes is from dehydration. Its a sign that the mycellium is being extremely stressed.

You need 3-4 inches of perlite, get rid of the fan. Constant fanning will dry out SGFCs like crazy. And add holes to the side you don't have holes in for proper FAE.

As of now, the fan is gone.
