Weird stuff going on with my grow
    #19282803 - 12/16/13 08:31 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Okay so my cakes have been in the FC a week and Im seeing my first pins (Yay) but some weird stuff is going on I hope someone can troubleshoot.  A little background though, this is only my 3rd SGFC grow.  I did 2 when I started out, then work put me on 18 hour shifts so I made a PMP and did fairly automated grows.  Now Im back to the SGFC after like 7 months.

I mist whenever I feel the verm casing is dry and a moisten them tell they glisten 2-4 times a day.  They get 12/12 light with a 6500K bulb.

I had run a humidifier in the room until last night and stopped due to a lack of pinning to promote evaporation. I also noticed that it had gotten really moist between the cake and the tin foil so today I placed the cakes on towels, wiped down the foil and rehydrated the perlite (basically a reset)

My cakes have a tad bit of aerial mycelieum. Besides the lack of pinning compared to previous grows, all the pins I saw besides 3 on one cake were on the bottoms of the cakes.  There's also been some mycelium bruising though that may have been from being handled. 

Any thoughts?

Do you have holes in the bottom of the SGFC? Are they clogged with perlite dust? Is the SGFC elevated?

Did you let the cakes consolidate for a week after 100% colonized?

Aerial myc is often genetic or resulting from lack of consolidation and grows out in individual strands like fingers.

Yours is more clumped and looks more like contamination.

But, I admit, I'm no expert at identifying contams in pictures. Time will tell.

Doubtful, I just re-hydrated and flushed the perlite.  And its elevated off the floor by two stacks of books.

Most had a week.  Some didnt finish up until about 4 days before birthing.  I figured they'd catch up at some point since they got 4 days anyway.

Admittedly, I was thinking so.  But its strange that Im still getting pins at the bottom of the cake.  Bacterial contams I understood stopped mushroom mycelium from pinning

Can anyone confirm how boned my cakes are we the latest pics?  I dont want to leave contams in my room longer than I have to.

cut back the size of the foil on some, your cakes look fine an bacteria doesn't stop pinning it almost promotes it, give them time and keep an eye on any in question

So the growth(s) no way resemble the bacteria contams on these cakes:
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18707928#18707928

Just making sure.  Not all the cakes have growth.  Just some that got a lot of water.
Edit: And I re-looked a noticed a few more pins and knots on the sides of some of the cakes.  So I would really love for everything to be OK

Those look normal.  If they're pinning, don't fix what isn't broken.
