Toss or keep?
    #19053495 - 10/29/13 06:41 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Okay so here a little bit of back info, I left my house Monday afternoon and went to work, I ended up staying the night at my girlfriend's dad's house and went to work today. I got home and checked on the cakes and this is what I found:



It is currently only on two of the five cakes that I have in the same FC, so i have isolated them until i get a response from you experts on this matter. Thanks in advance!

P.S. sorry for the shitty quality, my phone's camera isn't the best. If need be ask, and I'll upload more, and better pictures using my digital camera.

Ill re-upload the same pictures, but I'll circle the spot of concern in red. Is it safe to assume that since you don't see any "obvious" spots of concern that I might be in the clear? As I said, I'll circle and re-upload, but since you can't see anything obvious, it gives me hope.

Edit:


Here are the edited photos. I'm REALLY hoping that it isn't contaminated, but if it is, what are the chances that they have contaminated my other cakes? All five cakes are in the same FC, but each cake has roughly 2-2.5 inches between each other. I'm hoping that my other cakes won't be contaminated. I guess I don't really have any control over the matter, but you know.

Hard to say, dude, although I do see the coloration you've encircled.

To your naked eye, what color do those spots appear?

In your position, I'd probably hang on to them a bit longer, but in an alternative, isolated FC. Or I'd toss them out. But I definitely would not keep them with the other good cakes in the main FC. Good luck! :thumbup:

Honestly, to my naked eye(using a flash light to kind of bring out the color a little better), it almost appears as a greyish-blue hue. I guess I should say that these are 1/4 pint cakes, and they have produces two pretty decent flushes, and by decent, I mean that they gave me about 3.5 dry grams each. So roughly 35.00 grams dry (more then I was expecting from such little cakes). I know that cakes can get stressed by producing massive boomers, and stress causes bruising, along with under-hydrating. So I suppose that it could just be bruising? IDK, but I'll isolate and keep a watchful eye on them. Thanks!

Yeah, It's hard to tell with those pics but I would say the cake looks a bit dry. It's shriveling to the inside at the middle. Considering that, and without a better pic, it could be bruising but keep an eye on it. If you want to play it on the safe side, build an improvised terrarium out of a bucket and place the cake inside. That would isolate it from the others and still give it a chance. It's up to you now.

edit: after a couple of flushes, bruising and drying are normal occurrences that can happen. Re-flushing cakes is an art in itself and requires some added care. But anyway, there's nothing you can do when all nutrients in the substrate are depleted. That's when your cakes reach the end of their life-cycle.

Thanks for the advice. Also I read that you can extend the life cycle and get one last "bang" out of your cakes if you make a tea out of them by simmering them in hot water for 5-15 minutes? Any truth behind this?

Yeah, I was about to shoot another couple of tips. Now that you ask, try reading this thread:

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/10691101

It's a bit more interesting than making plain tea. Please, note that heat degrades psylocybin. Therefore tea is not the best solution to take the most out of cakes.

Try some searches about psylocybin extraction with cakes. You can also try posting at The Psychedelic Experience forum and they'll give you some hints. Perform you're research first and then post when advice is needed.

So just an update for you guys, one of the cakes most def had some trich, while the other still seems to just be some intense bruising (so far). I threw the bad cake away, and am continuing to isolate the other in hopes that it flushes again and is not contaminated. Thanks for all the help!

I am also super noob, this is my "first" grow. I had helped a friend waaaay long ago grow some, but never on my own, and he briefly explained things to me. At that point I was more about eating the mushies then growing them. :crazy2:
