Is this grayish stuff a contamination?
    #21744896 - 05/31/15 01:51 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

So I've had these cakes in the terrarium for a few days now and they're starting to pin, but today I noticed this grayish-maybe slightly bluish stuff on a couple of them. Is this a cause for concern?

Last night when I went to mist them I grabbed the wrong spray bottle; and ended up raining a hellfire of 70% isopropyl directly into my terrarium. I got at least 3 or 4 good sprays before I smelled my mistake. Could that be what caused this? It's entirely possible it was there already and I just didn't notice it until I fucked up and started looking for problems.







Is it going to be okay? I'm scared  :um:

If it's slightly blue, then it's bruising. You either not misting enough or handling too much or too roughly.

That spot on the first pic looks way off but none of the spots you are talking about got into focus when you took a pic.  My eyes are horrible and I just can't really see what's going on.

That sucks about spraying alcohol on them.  Learn from that mistake and color code or clearly label your bottles.

Good luck!

it dosent look contaminated did you touch it if so its just a bruise. the iso alcohol might have hurt it but i dont think it contaminated it. just wait a day or two to see if it gets worse if it dose just get rid of it for good measure.

I got some better pictures.

If this is a contam of some sort but it doesn't get any worse is there any harm in just letting them do their thing and still picking whatever fruits off of them?

I've definitely been handling them more than I should be, which I'll be careful not to do from now on.






Shit, everything was going so smoothly. Is this grow salvageable?

if you do then be careful the fruits can kill you if its like mold or something.

I agree 100%, That looks like bruising from low humidity. Use a good magnifying glass, If you see microspores forming, contam. If the texture look consistent with mycelium your good. I am leaning way more towards bruising.

It could have happened when you did the vermic layer from being to rough

Also that one oval bruise looks like a perfect thumb print sized bruise. lol
