Purple cakes-throw them away?
    #23447103 - 07/16/16 03:11 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

I birthed some cakes and they had purple spots scattered around. I thought it was from bruising, so I birth them in my terrarium anyways. After a week, nothing has grown and I think these cakes are contaminated. Should I throw them away?

And you haven't had any fruits? They've been purple since before you birthed? Yeah holy shit those are so contaminated.

100% throw away

They are very contaminated with what appears to be multiple species of mold

The cause of this was unclean inoculation

Don't lose heart, with better sterile procedure and good technique you will succeed one day

It is of utmost importance that before you inject the spore solution into your jar holes on your lids that the syringe needle is red hot

Flaming without a red hot inoculation may leave behind contaminant mold or bacteria

Red hot needle inoculation is the safest bet

Try try again :thumbup:

gross. clean the shit out of everything that has touched/been near those cakes and throw them cakes in the trash outside. don't even think about starting another grow before sterilizing the fuck out of your grow room and terrarium. matterafact....that terrarium is WAY too small. let me guess, got it from a grow kit right? midwestgrowkits? throw that in the trash, too.

follow the tek on RR's website (lets grow mushrooms! videos). get half pint WIDE MOUTH jars, a still-air-box, and a much better shot gun fruiting chamber. good luck!
