Lots of small white balls on coir tray?
    #25593795 - 11/05/18 11:44 AM (6 years, 2 months ago)

Hey Guys,

So, I bought a kit about 2 month ago...then threw it away with no fruit.  So I got spores and jars. I made about 25 half pint brf jars, made differently - moisture content, mix ratio etc, and using different strains (I learned alot about colonizing jars). I made so many because I was expecting some contamination, but every jar worked out perfectly.

Iv spawned some some of the jars to coir in a tray...and this is the day 8 result, Im wondering if anyone has an explanation/experience with these white balls that have formed? Or can give some advice about changes I can make.

Sorry for the picture quality, they were taken through the tub lid.

I can remove the lid for more pictures if necessary (but id rather not obviously).

Thanks guys!!

Just did a run of gt, 3 gs had my buddy in another dimension thinking I might kill him but I'm just trying to get him home to his bed.
Very anxiety-riddled 30min car ride for me, probably was a life time for him in the passenger seat lol

4 days later and still not a pin in sight, Im beginning to think its got a hidden trich contamination thats gonna prevent it fruiting.  Some small white specs have shown up all over the top of it, gotta presume if its a contam its through the entire substrate, seems no fruits for me this time.

I'll leave it a few more days in fruiting conditions, let it develop then throw it out if contaminated.

Those are called hyphal knots and Becomes primordia when you can see tiny head. Its the final stage before pins when mycelium knows it need to produce fruit bodies for reproduction. In other words you’re tray is banging sir. Each ball should extend after a few days and become noticeable pins with heads. Congratulations and keep the pics coming.

From what I see it looks healthy, and growing, no signs of contam, or metabolites.
Keep it going where it’s at, it can take some time, but don’t be discouraged.
Drop your fruit pics when they show up!

Had this happen to me a couple months ago and it wouldn't pin at all, not even side pins. It was fruiting for a month and I ended up starting again. If yours does the same you could maybe try casing it and letting it colonize the casing but hopefully you'll see pins soon.

Might be a good thing you wrote that lol I read it earlier, then decided I was gonna case it but when I was standing holding the verm I thought about you saying that, so Iv left it and wont change anything for another few days. Still no change as of now.

Thanks man.

Thats what Im worried about, I think I'll give it another day or 2 and then case it, Iv read a good few people having this issue - casing it and the substrate pins within 24hrs...

The whole hidden contam thing still makes me worried, but only time will tell. I just want one clump of fruit that I can move to agar, to get a proper tub/tray going. (This being multi spore brf to coir).

Well it pinned today! 4 visible pins, and a 5th that looks like it could be a cluster!...and it turned green :frown: good times.

Its been isolated, FC cleaned everything re newed and a fresh tray at day 6 has been put in.

Just gonna watch what happens with the one that is turning green. Pins will abort I guess, plenty jars left aswell, good job coir is cheap.
