Bruising or mold? (Also delayed pinning..)
    #22395824 - 10/17/15 11:06 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I've been fanning and misting these cakes 3-4x/day in a SGFC for 13 days now (posted a few days ago about the delayed pinning here), and today I noticed some green or blue color on 2 of the cakes (in this pic, it's on the cake that's on the middle left [on the right side of that cake]):



Now 3 days ago, I moved most of the cakes out of the FC and re-saturated the perlite with water, since it was getting a bit dry, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was bruising, but I don't want to leave contaminated cakes in there if that's what's going on.



Regarding delayed pinning, here's the current timeline:

8/14/15: Inoculated jars (1 syringe Penis Envy, 1 syringe PF amazonian cubensis). Placed in 80° incubator. Cakes took a few weeks to colonize, no contamination.
10/3/15: Took out of incubator and dunked. Cakes felt solid and hard, smelled like mushrooms. Dunking definitely increased their size significantly.
10/4/15: Rolled in verm, put cakes into shotgun fruiting chamber on top of aluminum foil squares. 3-4" of perlite on the bottom. Had some difficulty keeping humidity up, so I've closed ~75% of the holes with tape at this point.
10/14/15: Posted here, and followed advice to removed tape from my SGFC's holes. That's also when I moved my cakes out and resaturated the perlite, along with trimming the aluminum foil down so more of the perlite was exposed.
10/17/15: Noticed the blue/green color on two of the cakes.

(Additional info: wiped the blue/green areas with a qtip and couldn't seem to get any color onto the q-tip)

Those look pretty dry to me, yellowish colouration is often an idication of dryness.  Don't see any signs of trich.  Mist them considerably more and you should see results.  They've probably just been sitting there waiting for decent fruiting conditions.  Wouldn't be suprised if you see pins under them.

You know you need to mist the cakes as well as the perlite right?


--------------------


I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister.  I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave.  I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent.
Triggered yet?

Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."


No, this does not look right...

I've just been taking a pump mister and misting the whole box for 3-5 seconds or so. How do I know what's an appropriate amount of misting?

I haven't really done cakes much, but I use shotgun hybrid fruiting chambers for bulk subs.  With those I like to see water droplets all over the surface of the mycellium, up to completely glistening with water.  It depends on how fast evaporation is occurring.  If it's really hot I have to mist hard to keep up with the evaporation in a way that does not require me to mist 5x a day :smile:  If you come back and there are still water droplets on the surface of the mycellium, dial it back a bit.  If the water droplets/sheen have disappeared, increase it.

Edit:  I should ammend that to say something more like:  If you see a 50% reduction in water on the surface when you come back, mist it back to where it was before.

More misting, less fanning. Really no need to fan with a properly built sgfc unless you have it in a closet where it gets no FAE.
