Fuzz growing on little caps. Is it cobweb? Or just not enough FAE?
    #26384691 - 12/16/19 08:45 AM (4 years, 1 month ago)

Total beginner cultivator here. So, I open up the tub and see this:









Some of the little guys are covered in fuzz almost head to toe. Mostly up on the caps. It doesn't look good.

First thing I thought when I saw this was that it has gotten a contam, that I should toss it, that the aliens are coming, and that I probably should jump of a roof, etc. (joking)

On second examination, I am thinking more along the lines of that there is not enough FAE and the mycelium itself is freaking out a bit, growing up on its own fruits.

Which one is it here and what should I do to remedy the situation?

Thank you in advance for any input.

Looks like they need more FAE.

:whathesaid:

I’m inclined to agree with this. Those long skinny stems look like they are reaching for some FAE. Looks like you don’t have any holes in your mono so I’d start there. Cut a couple 3-4 inch holes in the longer sides of the tub and fill them with polly fill or cover with micro pore tape. Or you could leave the lid cracked and see how that helps.

Waaay more air.

Also those are aborts that are being eaten by the myc. Happens all the time when I’m too lazy to pick them all off after a harvest.

Not just FAE, they look like they need light pretty badly as well. What is your lighting setup like?

I have 2+4 x1.25 inch hole setup on this tub, covered with micropore. I guess that it was just too close to the wall, in the corner of the room where there is not enough natural air flow to make the mono mono like the mono is supposed to mono. lol

Hmm, there is no light setup. From around 8 am until sundown (windows face west) there is plenty of indirect light in the room. Early afternoon there is a ton of direct light as well.

I will definitely move them more into the center of the room, where there is more light and natural air flow (the ceiling fan seems to dry out the tubs); but, what actually makes you say that they need light pretty badly? What kind of symptoms are we looking for when cubes do not get enough light?

Thank you all for your kind replies.

You should get some grow lights.

You don’t NEED a special light but it certainly can help. Especially if you are having a hard time getting proper light cycles from natural lighting in your home. I use a 6000k-6500k light for my grows.

Grow lights referring to lights used to grow mushrooms lol. Sorry, guess I could have been a little more specific.
