3 Weeks no pin, could this cake be contaminated? W/ Pics
    #21273428 - 02/14/15 02:09 PM (9 years, 10 months ago)

Hey guys, First time grower here, I inoculated 5 jars of B+ pretty succesfully. Four of them colonized and fruited without any problems with multiple flushes.

But the last one, which took an extra month to colonize fully because I inoculated with only a few drops left from the syringe I bought, is giving me problems.

After about 2 whole months it finally colonized 100% and I left it in the jar for about 10 days. Dunked and rolled it and put it in the same SGFC that was successful with the first 4.

That was 3 weeks ago and I've yet to see a pin. I started Fanning and misting last week after reading posts about stubborn cakes, and still nothing. Lately i've noticed that the cake is turning pretty gray-ish, and there are some spots that are starting to turn blue. Most prominantly in the bottom right corner of the second pic.

I've examined the graying areas closely and i'm scared it might be cobweb because it looks a little wispy and webby and it's definitely turned from white to gray. It still smells good- it has the same mushroom smell as my other 4 with no noticeably bad smells.

What do you guys think? Is this cake doomed or should I keep trying?

Are you sure lol? I'm 99% sure that's just some perlite that got onto the foil. I accidentally got some on there while I was repositioning the cake closer to the holes for better FAE. I noticed in my first grow that the cakes I had closer to the air holes pinned faster.

Just keep waiting mate... it'll happen. Mist and fan like fuck. Evaporation triggers pinning.

They look a tad dry.

Mist them  till they glisten then fan them! 

Other than that, just dont let them dry out too much, don't over mist either!  It is a fine line, other wise the cake looks great.
