Need advice on a strange cake
#24115434 - 02/24/17 07:37 AM (7 years, 10 months ago) |

So I'm on my third trial of producing Albino A+ from BRF cakes; I have about 10 cakes that are six weeks old. 9 of them are currently approaching 1/2 colonization, (rather slow I know). The 10th jar, however, began colonizing rapidly from two separate blobs of mycelium and fully colonized after one week. While allowing this one to consolidate, it began to produce weird black dots against the glass as well as an odd colored marking. I birthed this cake two days ago and did the old dunk n roll, and have noticed fuzzy growths forming and appearing to knot. This morning I noticed these strange black dots growing on several areas of the cake once more. They smear like ink when touched. My question is, what the heck is going on with this cake? Is it a contam? Is this normal? I thank you all for taking your time to help me.

LOL; I'm 19, in an apartment. Biochemistry major. I love this site and I love fungi. And you're very vigilant, that bottom left cake grew two patches just like the shitty one I originally posted about. Must be the same contaminant. I'll give that one the boot as well.

I just wanted to throw this out there.. yeah cubensis can bruise bright green and it can bruise black. Yours is undoubtedly not bruising and probably asp. niger, but amigods comment that it's only blue is not correct, sorry.
That being said any kind of discoloration isn't something I'd label as normal anyways

Unfortunately, all have been lost except this one. Inoculated in late January. It will be at full colonization in several days. Images are a 360° of the jar.

It's definitely bacterial but no signs of green so It's good to go. Is it fully colonized? Not sure if thats just dry verm layer sticking to the glass or not

Which pic are you referring to? I'll post a better one. My project is failed because of the nasty apartment I'm in at the moment; I'm relocating soon and will hopefully be able to maintain a more sterile environment. Also picked up a PC

There is roughly an inch gap left for the mic to colonize. Then consolidation and the dunk. Thank you for your advice.

If you have enough cakes to fill it then no. But I would be considering a monotub set up at that point anyway. That's a hell of a lot of perlite and it would be heavy as fuck. I personally wouldnt buy a tote that large for any type of FC

 The box is 6.5 inches above the ground. The light is 13 inches above the lid. There is 3 inches of perlite. The chamber has a lot of room around it, except one side is 12 inches away from the dresser. The hole are two inches apart grid, approximately 1/4 inch. The holes aren't perfectly round because I don't own a drill.

I'm a little confused about how much i should spray; I've been following the spray till glistening misting cycle about 4 times a day. I feel like it's a lot of water, but i only respray after the cake stops glistening and is only moist/dry.

Watch if water is pooling in your chamber. 4 times may be too much. You'll have to figure it out  Enough water is enough:too much is too much: It's like a house plant. It's your houseplant. Treat it like growing strawberries. They like water, but drown them and get mush (and not mushroom, ya dig?)
Besides if they have plenty of Fae, and you can verify that, water is good. Just not standing water. That's gross

Right, sounds like I'm doing fine on misting then. I'm just a bit concerned because the knotting I posted has been around since day 4, but hasn't really changed at all now as of day 11
