White fuzz on cake is swallowing the pins
    #24257368 - 04/19/17 01:23 PM (6 years, 10 months ago)

A cake on its second flush is sitting in a small solo plastic container. The cake is pinning like crazy but as soon as any of the pins get to about 1/2 inch in size, they start sprouting mycelium around their base. I've read about this and people say not to worry too much, but these pins are short and fat and grow slowly. Also they are all right next to each other. The white fuzz from the bigger pins keeps swallowing the smaller pins and causing them to abort. Most of the aborted pins looked totally fine and healthy until they were choked by the myc.

The container is elevated, has 6 1/4 inch holes and there is tons of airflow in the room, so I have no idea how this can be a FAE problem. Is there any way to remove this fuzz or slow down its growth? The cake is pinning really aggressively and seems like it should produce a ton of good fruits but this white fuzz is just ruining it.

There was also some white fuzz on the first flush, but there were fewer pins and they were not as clustered together so this wasn't as much of an issue.

So I actually have 8 holes in the container now. I already added more to try to get more fae but it doesn't seem to be helping. There is also a breeze in the room. Seems like this is already way more fae than e.g. the chronic tek uses.

Should I put holes in the lid under the container to get the CO2 to drop out?

Post a photo of the setup it'll be easier to advise you.
But more holes is probably what I'm gunna say. You can flip the lid upside down too, off set it a little bit.
