First grow - Did it Contaminate? * 1
    #22113311 - 08/19/15 05:58 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Hi guys,

Been lurking around for some time and finally decided to start a grow.  I started a batch of WBS and spawned into a Dub-Tub.  Everything looked great throughout the grow, but I just harvested my first batch and I'm seeing what looks to be some greenish blue in the substrate after I picked the mushies.  Did this contam or is this normal?  It's an Ecuador cube, if it matters.

Thanks.

Yeah, good job. Bluish-green is bruising from the picking of the fruits. Green, by itself, is trichoderma (green forest mold). Once you get it, you'll never forget it.

Looking good. Let us/me know how those eq's treat you. They have always been very weak to non existent on my end. Yours seem to bruise a little which is good. Mine bruise a little but not nearly as much as others like gt, bt, pes a Amazon.

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

Really?  I thought a cube was a cube as far as potency went.

I have 3 strains going (Ec, B+ and GT), it's just that the EC was BY FAR the fastest grower.  I'm probably still a week or 2 away from the others pinning.

Guess we'll just have to do a side-by-side potency comparison :mushroom2: :dancer:  :nyan:

I would usually say a cube is a cube. But for some reason eq has always been really weak for me. Different grows with different prints. The last thing I noticed is how little the bruise compared to other cubes

Interesting.  Well we'll see how these turn out.  Either way, I'm glad I decided to start out with 3 different strains.  I've always heard a cube was a cube (and I just figured that was the case), but in the back of my head I always wanted to see for myself.

They really are speed demons though.  These colonized the WBS in half the time as the GT, with the B+ falling somewhere in the middle.

Clearly you haven't had my eqs :lol:. GT always made tomentose mycelium, but lately I have been finding genetics who give me rizmorphic. You can't really say anything for sure with spores. Maybe it isn't a coincidence you've had a weaker potency across the board.. but if it's all you had, I bet you could easily find some great genetics in it if you ran a bunch of different genetics.

For some reason PESA is the strongest cube I've ever grown. Curious to experiment with it again.

Thanks man.  I'm pretty stoked about it.  Have them in the dehydrator now.  B+ is almost done fruiting and the GT is pinning. :mushroom2:
