White Fluff/Fuzz on BRF Cakes in FC - Please help put my mind at ease
    #18462817 - 06/23/13 09:44 PM (11 years, 6 months ago)

Hi Everyone, Recently I put my first BRF cakes in my fruiting chamber to pin and fruit. It has now been about 3 days and I am noticing some white fluff/fuzz on some of the cakes. I am hoping someone here can tell me if it is something to worry about. My first thought was lack of FAE or just slight knotting before pinning, but now I am concerned its something else. Any assistance you can offer is appreciated. I know I am most likely being over cautious but as these took quite a long time to colonize I would rather be a bit OCD then DOA.


Pictures of Fluff/Fuzz (*'d the most relevant):

Thanks so much for any help you can offer in telling me what I am looking at. If you would like more details as to my setup including pictures of my fruiting chamber they are at the bottom of this post.

I look forward to your responses,

-FC


Here are pictures of my setup.
Here are some pictures of the PMP setup I have going.
Fruiting Chamber Side View With Markings
Fruiting Chamber Side View Air Stone Tubing
Fruiting Chamber Top View With Lid (Note: Holes are no longer taped up, was only for testing)
Fruiting Chamber Top View Without Lid

Details of my grow:

Growing 12 BRF Half Pint Cakes, 8 Mexicana and 4 Pink Buffalo. 17.5 Gal Poor Mans Pod Fruiting Chamber with a air pump producing a maximum of 270 liters of air per hour with two air stones running the length of the tub connected to it. The PMP is at a nice stable 75° with a current relative humidity of 100%. Currently on a 12 hour on/off lighting schedule with two 6500k 45w equivalent led lights (they are quite high up and not focused as such I have two going). There are three small holes in the top of the lid open to allow FAE exchange. The BRF cakes were dunked and rolled all over in verm before putting in the fruiting chamber and placed directly on the geolite.

They look good man. My cakes always fuzz up a bit and also get some aerial mycelium before they fruit.

The cakes look good. You used the tall half-pints instead of the short ones, that's why your colonize times were so long.

No looks like pin mold. Was those cakes even colonized before birthing?

Revhuerta, don't reply to 4 year old threads.  Start a new one.

Edit: Whoops, this thread is ancient.
