[PICS] Black powder looking stuff and deep purple on cakes!?
    #21297040 - 02/19/15 06:00 AM (9 years, 10 months ago)

Hey everyone! Long time lurker, made an account to post my question. Just wanted to say that this is a great community and I'm glad to Finally make my entrance!! :smile:

My cakes have some black powder looking stuff coming off of them. And there seems to be some deep purple color too. Should I be worried!?

I've done some searching and I know it is probably spores, but as this is my first grow I feel like the amount of spores is WAYY too excessive.

Definitely spores :smile:

They can really dump. Look at all the spores from this tiny little guy that fruited on agar:



Try and pick them earlier. Best time to harvest is just before the veil tears (check out the link in my signature if you don't know what a veil tearing looks like). :thumbup:

It's all good but spores don't taste great and they get everywhere so best to only let them sporulate when you are taking spore prints rather than vomiting out purple all over your FC!

EDIT: It also looks like your cake is right on the perlite - definitely not ideal. Cut a small square of aluminum foil to put under it ASAP

The black looks like spores to me, see how it has dropped right under the cap. As for the purple  :shrug:

Most cubensis have purple spores, the exception being mutations like true albinos and rust spores. They only look black because they are so dense usually that they appear black.
