White Holes on caps/pitted caps - is it Bacterial? or Mites? please help + PICS
    #23624510 - 09/08/16 01:43 AM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Hi Everyone, I'm new, and it took quite a while for the cubes to fruit, it was around 2 weeks until the first pins. the method was BRFC, cubensis, and i use shotgun terrarium with perlite.

i thought i had a problem with not enough humidity, and i believe i sprayed to much, not fanning allot after. so my first guess is Bacterial blotch, but they dont smell bad at all, and it is too white-ish and no fluffy. more like cracks and holes. then i remembered i saw a small insect running inside the perlite a few weeks back, but it looked a bit big, much more then a mite, more like a small fly.

i researched here and didnt find any pics/ or description that looked similar, maybe i didnt researched enough, but would really appreciate any help on what is it and what to do about it (harvest and dehydrate? hydrogen peroxide?)

What you mean is, it is not contamination?

No, it's not contamination.

Thank you for your answer Tira. I'm happy to read it.

What about the holes? some of them, actually most of them (as you can see in the pics) are breaking their caps at the top. some have big holes there.

Do you think it is mycelium, as well?

By hole if you mean this split in the picture, splits just happen because of rapid growth of fruits; again, nothing to worry about, it's just genetics.

Just harvest right before or right after the veil breaks, that is the time frame where potency peaks.

white dots on caps are called the universal veil. completely normal for cubes.

None of those cakes are glistening. They look fuckin dry. Caps crack from being dry too. You need to mist them directly more often.

I thought caps cracked from being too dry and split from rapid growth?  I remember reading Roger Rabbit say that somewhere.

Those cakes do look dry though...

IME splitting can be from rapid growth, but I do know that split caps happen much more often when shit is dry. These guys look dry.
