Small rotting fruits- pf tek
    #19014300 - 10/22/13 03:42 PM (11 years, 2 months ago)

This is my first grow- pf tek. B+

Waited two weeks after 100% colinization for birthing (I know that's a little long). Dunked for 15hrs and rolled in fine verm.

Sgfc to spec but I have small perlite. Rh stays 91 to 95%. I have it in front of east window. It gets good filtered sunlight for about an hour. Rest of the day the room is well lit by sun.

Once I introduced cakes I would mist and fan 3 times a day occasionally spraying perlite. Pins started forming.  One cake I thought had very light colored caps. All others seemed darker. The first few I harvested were short thick stems with caps about nickel size before opening.
The next ones I picked were thinner stem and same size cap. With these I cut the bottom 1/4" off the bottom to look for blue bruising. IT WAS BROWN. The only thing I can think is that it's rotten. The cap looks fine and the stem is a light brown on the outside but darker brown inside. Most of the cakes are putting off fruits like this. They are also quite small. They are maturing but on average about 1" tall.    ????Are my fruits rotting????

Out of 12 cakes only 4 do not have this problem. They are producing normal (to me ) looking fruits. Not as much bluing as I've seen in the wild and fairly light colored caps.

What is my problem?
I think it's either:
Small perlite causing poor fae
Misting too much
Not enough sun?

Your thoughts please.
