My first grow, need help with possible contamination (mold on caps) * 1
    #26638262 - 04/30/20 04:39 AM (4 years, 8 months ago)

Hi all, this is my first time growing, glad to finally be part of the community!

So I'm using a pre-made grow kit. I started the fruiting process in suboptimal conditions: low temp, low humidity. Some pins appeared but stopped growing after 2-3 days. That's when I knew something wasn't right so I switched up my setup to provide better conditions.

Thankfully half my babies started growing again, but after approx 1 week I noticed patches of gray/blue fuzz appearing on some of the caps. It partially comes off when I swipe it with a cotton swab so I don't think it's bruising. It also looks like some of the caps are "scarred".

I don't have a good feeling about this (ie. mold), but since my experience = 0 I'd love to get somebody else's take!

I aint no expert either but that looks like mycelium to me, its not uncommon for it to grow on the cap. Some folks get straight up poofballs on em haha, but as for the blueing it could be dryness. With how many are in there id try some bottom watering(pour a little water down the side and let it sit for a few hours then dump it back out)

Wow I was convinced you were going to say it was mold hahaha! Great news.

I actually decided to harvest what I could yesterday (before reading your answer) and go for a second flush... About half the pins weren't going anywhere and were getting taken over by mycelium. Please forgive my rookie mistakes =)
