First grow, 3 cakes, only one mushroom
    #24261826 - 04/21/17 01:16 PM (7 years, 8 months ago)

I made 3 bfr cakes. I didnt have time for a SGFC so i ghetto rigged food containers for each individual cake. Now one of the cakes i thought was contaminated so i left it in the jar. It has a very tiny green spot that has not changed (hasnt spread or gotten bigger) since like two months ago.
so im not really sure if i should just throw it away.
Now the other two are in ghetto sgfc but only one grew anything and it only grew one mushroom from the bottom. the one mushroom grew big and i guess dropped a bunch of black powder or something when it opened up because theres black powder on the stem of the shroom and on the perlite near it. The other cake looks the same but with nothing. this is how i have them (i already poked more holes and lost have the perlite.) SO I guess mt questions are: Is that mushroom good to pluck and eat? Do my cakes still have a chance to grow shrooms, and if so what should i do? Is the one still in the jar good or contaminated? Should i dunk and roll my cakes again to see if that helps? And since one mushroom came out, is that considered a harvest? So that i can dunk and roll and begin again. oh and btw i had a white fuzz issue and sprayed h202 on the cakes a few days ago. please halp! :laugh:

1. Don't leave your foil on top your jars it cuts off your gas exchange and chokes your myc, slowing it considerably.

2. Taller jars don't work as well with BRF cakes. People typically use the shorter 1/8 jelly jars for a reason.

3. That jar looks fine. That tiny green spot may have been bruising.

4. That black powder is millions of microscopic spores dropped by your mushroom.

5. Your main problem is your Poor man fruting chamber isn't dialed in right. Follow the advice in your other thread. They are notoriously unforgiving. Build a proper SGFC for better results.

6. Sprayed h202? Worst possible move. That shit is straight poison to myc.

That's knocking the cake over huge. I think it spent it all on one load.

Ok guys, but the other cake didnt give me anything, what im going to do is pluck the shroom, dunk them, and place them into a proper sgfc, u think the two will be able to fruit again?

Your fruiting chamber will work better if you put some holes in the bottom and lift it off the floor. Then air can pass upwards through the wet perlite and help trigger pinning.
