what's causes deformed pf Tek cakes
    #26694082 - 05/25/20 02:20 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Some of my cakes are not fruiting. Also seeing yellowish metabolite patches but also now seeing deformation. Looks like weight of the cake is collapsing on itself. What could this be?

Photo attached. You can see it in the front left cake.

Hard to say.. how long have the cakes been birthed?  Did you dunk them after you birthed them.. it’s easier to diagnose with more info.  Is this an MS grow?  Did you notice the yellowing when they were colonizing?

The cakes have been in FC for 6 weeks. Yellowing 3 or 4 weeks after and collapsing around the same time. When I lift the lid for misting I get a light smell of damp towel. When I fan that's replaced with the mushroom smell. Yes I did the dunk and roll. Also did another dunk without the roll only last week to see if it restarts the whole process.

So is this the second flush then?  Or did you redunk because They weren’t doing anything?  That smell is definitely from bacteria... that can also be why those pins are deformed.  what kind of chamber are you using?  Are there holes for FAE?

Thanks for the info.


Only had fruits from one cake after 6 weeks and even that one has stalled. I have a few aborts on top.

Can I recover the batch or is it a throw out? Clean the FC after throw out?

How do they smell? Are they rotting on the inside? Should smell fresh.
