Does this look contaminated?
    #26674482 - 05/16/20 09:55 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hi guys,

It's been 5 days since I put this into my first attempt at a SGFC, does this look healthy to you? There's no obvious bad smells or anything... does it need more FAE? Misting?

I've read that the SGFC should provide enough air exchange on it's own, should I actually open a window in the room where the chamber is or this a bad move? I have a floor standing fan I can put in there to get some circulation going?

Thanks for the assist!

That looks fine. looks dry, however I'm sure you're misting and fanning as needed. Don't open up your windows to your grow my friend, big mistake allowing outside contaminates inside. running the fan in the room may increase FAE within your sgfc but as it looks rn it doesn't need it.

Thanks for the response!

I'll see how it progresses the next few days, just more of the same today but the white mycelial growth is definitely getting thicker. I'm pleased with how far it's come :grin:

Should I expect to see pins developing soon then or does it just differ from grow to grow?

Outdoor contams don't matter at this point. The strongest shrooms I've ever grown were in almost outdoor grow.

Healthy myc doesn't just contam.

Trim the foil down too, it should be barley bigger than the cake.

Just enough to keep it off the perlite.

Yeah I disagree with that. Fresh air is the best air. It depends on the RH of where you live. If your in Canada and it is 2% rh than you will dry it out quick like. But if your in the south close to the equator and it's 70-90% RH they will get big AF!

I agree with you healthy myc doesn't just contam, but when a foreign body gains enough space to grow hyphae it can infest your cakes.
Sure p. cyanescens toss em outside if ya want, monotubs even I've put on a balcony, but with brf cakes I'd rather have control over the immediate environment with how unstable they can be.

Forgive my ignorance but what is RH? Just relative humidity for the area I live in? 

I just did a quick Google search for my area and apparently it's 76% at the moment...

Most BRF cakes end up in a very dirty space (outside of a sterilized area).

If there's anything that contams can grow on, they will grow on. I'm willing to bet there isn't a lot of difference if you put a petri dish into your FC for 10 minutes vs an outdoor area.

More than likely your outdoor area is cleaner than inside your home.

oP yes RH is relative humidity. So 70% is good.
