Is this grey stuff mold?
    #19259602 - 12/11/13 11:03 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Hi, I made two tubs by adding 6 quarts of colonized popcorn to a brick and a half of coir. They were two different strains, both multispore. I'm a rookie at this and I foolishly put them into fruiting conditions after about a week and a half, way before they fully colonized.

It's been about a week and a half since I started fanning/misting.

One of them is doing pretty well, I believe I'm almost through the first flush. Here's a pic



The other one seemed less colonized. It was knotting for a few days, I was expecting pins any time now. Then I looked in it this morning and noticed a lot of the myc looks grey. The grey doesn't seem to be covering the uncolonized part, just the myc. Here's a pic of the most dense myc/grey.



And here's some of the entire tub with/without flash





I don't notice a sour smell. Could this just be some weak struggling myc? It's PE which I've heard is generally slow. I'd hate to have mold contaminating my grow area, but I'd also hate to lose this tub. What do you guys think?

edit: I also sprayed a couple sprays of hydrogen peroxide on that dense spot just to see and I observed no change.

I personally don't see any mold but your substrate looks dry as fuck.

After misting heavily I can't really see it anymore. There's certainly no smell, perhaps I was just tripping :wink: Thanks guys.

Like the ones before me, I see no mold. But yes your setup is mad dry. I can see the myc turning yellow and starting to die off because of it.
