PF-TEK is it looking good?? first grow
    #18818520 - 09/09/13 11:05 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

As stated, this is my first grow and I have a few concerns. I did a ton of research and have done everything with extreme care and to the best of my knowledge. Everything has gone well so far but I am a bit concerned at the white fuzzy stuff growing everywhere. I don't think this is normal. Also I have read that white spots on the caps can mean the humidity is too low?

I am new to this and won't take any offense to critiques, just want to see if this looks okay and a push in the right direction is always appreciated!

I did research the white fuzzy stuff and just dont know if it is mycelium or a form of mold

IMO that looks like myc growing over your vermiculite layer. it looks fine just keep an eye on it.

From what I have read on here, thats the conclusion I came to as well. It seems to be rather innocuous but I wanted a second opinion being that this is my first time.

I dunno, I'm seeing fuzzy feet and mycelium reaching for air... I'm no pro however, so I might be wrong.

That would be due to not enough or poor FAE. Try fanning out your chamber a bit more often. Other than that it's good :smile:

more FAE for sure. They call that aerial mycelium when it grows like that to get away from its CO2 and breathe some O2.

Awesome! Thank you everyone who chimed in. I've fanned 3 times today already which I wasn't doing and the fuzz is dying down already.

I'm thinking my FC needs more holes.

It only needs holes two inches apart on all six sides no more no less.

thats pretty much how I have it, more frequent fanning is my solution I think.

More holes gives you that FAE you want but can throw off your RH and drop it below 95% so then you have another problem. I would fan upwards of 5 times a day when I had cakes in a SGFC

Good advice above. Remember that the aerial mycelium can sometimes be genetics :mushroom2: Definitely looks like FAE here

rad, and I have my humidity at 99%. I've read that between 90-95 is ideal. Is 99% too high?

99% will do just fine.

Make sure you don't have it against the wall and air can get under the bottom. Also you need 1/4 (6mm) holes every 2 inches (50mm) on all 6 sides
