Blue contams? Need advice
    #22180121 - 09/02/15 08:34 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

I posted this in the contamination forum at first but didn't get any response so I am reposting it here. I have always gotten much needed advice in this area by posting here.

So I had my first successful flush using the shotgun monotub tek. A lot of the jars had to be birthed by slamming them on the counter and I think that caused them to bruise. I noticed blue color appearing before the shrooms grew that people on here believed to be bruising. A few days ago the cakes all fell over. A few days later the flush started slowing down and blue color started spreading. I am wondering if what you see here is contams of some kind or bruising and if its worth trying to get a second flush.

Btw...these pictures look green, I know. But the lighting was bad when I took the pictures. When i look at them they look to be a cerulean blue

That is definitely at least dry and lacking fae, if they're not contaminated, and that's a big if. What chamber is that? I see them on lids :thumbup: but then there's no perlite, and obviously no bottom holes.. Make a sgfc!

Well you got the cake making part down. Now follow the SGFC Tek link in my signature to maximize your fruiting potential :thumbup:

Those cakes are done. I took them out. I'm using a shotgun chamber but honestly my apartment is too hot and dry. I'm moving in a month and will have a lot more success hopefully..but I'm the meantime I'm going to try and rehydrate everything and go for a second flush. 

I eventually want a automatic misting system of anyone has any reccomendations.

Dude. Just make a tub. Dial it in right. No need to mist.

Thats what I am trying to tell you. I did. this is my setup. I have shotgun tubs with 5 inches of perlite. I mist and fan throughout the day. they are sitting up off the bins underneath them.

well when I move I will be spawning to bulk so that info is perfect...thank you. In the meantime though I am just using cakes so the shotgun tek I am using right now is the only thing that I can think of.

Monotub....

As far as your dry cakes.... When i first started growing the only way i could get the humidity to stay up in my SGFC's was  to put an ultrasonic humidifier blowing in the vicinity of my chambers....

I did a couple SGFC then i moved on to monotubs and theres no way i would ever go back to SGFC.

Thank you for that. I had come to the same conclusion. I did everything else perfectly and was getting really frustrated. This time around I finally got a couple ounces but still not near my goal. Now that I know the cakes are dried out I can start using a different method and it will be monotubs. It seems tried and true so hopefully I wont have any further issues.

Except their is no perlite in one of them. How is the shotgun fruiting chamber supposed to stay humid with no damp perlite? Both are too close to walls, they need to be in the center of the room. How high are they elevated? You need clearance so air comes up through the bottom holes. Is the perlite in the one still moist? If its all dried up you need to rewet it.

I did make a tub. Two,in fact. This is my setup.

They both have perlite. It is all moist. and they are elevated about 2-3 inches off the tubs
