Metabolites or contam.? Please help! (/w pics)
    #24261217 - 04/21/17 07:11 AM (7 years, 8 months ago)

Im pretty new to growing, but ive grown a few kits with success before. But now i have two large cakes in a tub with a casing layer of 50/50 coco and vermiculite. Things were looking real good up until yesterday, when some white/light yellow balls started showing up on the mycelium. Also the mycelium is starting to get a very slight blue hue to it. Its been about a week since i took the casing layer on, misting and fanning about 2-3 times a day ever since.

Can someone please indentify the problem? Metabolites?
What should i do if there is a problem?

Thanks guys and gals :-)

Maybe a little bacterial?  The bluing may be dryness also.  I'm not sure how effective your perlite will be for humidification with those big meatloaf cakes.  It doesn't look like there's much perlite exposed at all.

What exactly are we looking at?
Looks to me that you have mushrooms growing..not much you can do except watch them grow.

So you're saying it looks all good? Because its pinning very differently than the exact same strain i just grew a couple kits in (I added the exact same spores to the kits myself). And since its turning very slightly blue (not visible on the pics) i was also alittle worried. Dryness maybe?

Yeah i hope not! There is no smell, so im also thinking maybe its alittle dry. The casing layer was very thin and it looks pretty dry. Even though some places there are water drops on top of the mycelium. Should i fan dry and add some more casing maybe?

Hmmm.. Im a noob, but i found and followed a very simple guide using perlite that i followed pretty good. Except i had way bigger cakes as you mention. Basically , there is wet 50/50 vermiculite and coco on top of tinfoil (with drainage holes) underneath the cakes. Maybe i didnt add enough of the verm/coco under the cakes?

They look like mutant blobs.

You just need to mist the surface until glistening with no pooling water, and attempt to maintain.
