Should I birth these BRF cakes?
    #22072666 - 08/10/15 05:16 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

This is my first grow. It's been about 20 days since inoculation, and my jars are ranging between about 75-95% colonized. However, all of them are pinning and some of the pins are getting pretty big. I've heard of this causing problems, so I'm considering birthing and washing off the uncolonized BRF. Is this a good idea? Would it be more worth it to wait? Pin pics below:

That last one has stretched out to the label already. Are my concerns justified?

You can remove the uncolonized sections.Although from my experience not fully colonizing jars xan results from
1.packing the substrate too tightly
2.Bacterial contamination
3.Water level was off ::shrug:

One of my jars ended up similar to yours before. It was like 95% colonized and starting to pin in the jar so I took it out washed off the uncolonized part and it fruited fine. The only shitty part of this is the cake wont be flat on the top (or the bottom depending on which part of your cake is uncolonized), on mine the bottom was the part with the chunk missing, so I just had to place it in my FC upside down so it would sit level like all the other cakes. All in all I would say just do the dunk and roll now no sense in waiting. Be sure to do a visual and smell test on it first before you set it up for the dunk. If it doesn't have they fresh mushroom smell you might have a contam in there.

Wrong jar size mixed with too densely packed brf results in what you have there, fully colonized on the top portion with in-vitro pins, and untouched brf on the bottom of the jar. My advice is to birth them now since you have pinning already, dunk/roll and place in your SGFC. The top portion should fruit normally, with a minor reduction in yields. :goodluck:

Thanks for the advice everyone. I did my best to make sure I didn't pack down the brf/verm mix. But I did shake the jars so it could settle when I filled them up. Maybe this caused them to be too dense?

I kinda fucked up and blew the last of my money on weed and acid and I still need to buy perlite. I get paid on Friday, so it looks like they have 4 days to catch up before I dunk the fuckers.
