Hey guys I am growing Huautla cubenis for the first time and my jars have been fully colonized for about 3 weeks now and none are pinning so I choose a few jars to cold shock and birth to try and get things going but after 3 days in the terrarium with good humidity they have started growing fan like fuzz here are 2 pics I hope someone can shed some light. I have down to previos batches of cubensis using pf tek and i don't recall these issues. I am also using pftek this time

Take smaller pics man. They are zoomed in way to much when i click. Its way to blurry and zoomed in to tell anything.

I did not dunk the cakes. I have one pin now on one of the cakes that I did not cold shock, but the one pictured above hasn't changed. and the blurriness is actually how it looks the protrusions are triangular and fan shaped, not wisspy though,

well what i was getting at was they may be dehydrated,thus not producing pins.The fan like stuff is normal Rhizo growth,absolutly normal. And no you dont understand your pictures are not just blury,you cannot see them,they are huge smudges.They are too large or zoomed in too much or something.Here is what they look like.

"fan like fuzz"
What do you mean by that ? If you are referring to the white strands growing from the cake, then that's completely normal, maybe Rh too high but not a problem. Take a look a this example, this also happened after dunking, strain is mexican,

thanks every one I apologize for the pic being so large I forgot about the size. That post by Maia that one looks funny to me ;-). I was bothered by my cakes not pinning after being colonized for nearly a month, an dthe rhizo growing the way it was I have never seen it that way. But there are no odd smells or colors everything looks like straight up mycelium so I will be patient and nurturing i am just psyched now that i have at least one pin growing i hope it all breaks free now. So thanks and I will let you all now how they came out

make sure you read up ason dunking,so that you can dunk next flush because like i said they sound dehydrated,they are not contaminated but probably could have used a dunking.

Ok here is an update, I have 6 cakes in teh terrarium one has sprouted 1 pin that i have plucked because it was about 2 inch long but hanging off the cake and touching the mesh. I dunk one of the cakes 2 days ago and nothing yet. The 2 cakes that had the fan like mycelium are still going but the mycelium seems to have stopped. So below are 2 better pics of the cake with the most protruision, there is a very small pin on the surface that can't be seen.

Just try keeping optimal temperature and Rh, give it light, fan 3 or 4 times a day and they'll start growing.
