bruising or blue mold.....?
    #26833685 - 07/20/20 06:15 AM (3 years, 6 months ago)

after having to abandon a GT during colonization i am now suspicious of the B+ cake i have - it was dunked & rolled 3 days ago, was pure white, but has now developed  blue patches.

they are patches of colour rather than furry (so far), and i don't know whether to put it down to bruising from being handled when rolling or if its the start of blue mold.

i've done the best i can with the pix...

on ckecking the perlite i found it has dried out a lot, so i've added some more damp perlite, lowered the temp slightly to 23*C/75*F, and am misting more regularly in the hope it has just dried out a bit rather than gone moldy.

i'll keep an eye on it & see if it spreads farther, tho' any advice would be welcome if i'm heading the wrong direction or it is just buggered...

turned out to be bruising...

as it happened my old fruiting chamber had cracked so i made a new one, but got the hole size & distribution wrong so the cake dried out too quickly.

i resoaked it for 24hrs in the fridge, adjusted the temp. & lighting and it fruited within 3 days - not a huge quantity, but what i would normally have expected from a 2nd or 3rd flush.  I was even able to soak it again and get another small quantity, giving a total of apx. 25 dried grams - not what i would have liked from a normal grow, but far more than i expected from a cake i thought was basically buggered...

the basic issue is that i live in a north-facing flat on the north-west of Ireland, and the ambient temp. in the flat barely breaks 20*C/68*F even in the summer.  the upshot of this is that i need to use a heater, controller & a lamp to maintain a sufficient & regular environment for them, and it can be a bit of a balancing act.

set-up seems to be correct & stable now, so i currently have a B+ cake colonising nicely, plus a liquid culture each of B+ and Golden Teacher underway.  I'm recording the progress of these with the view of creating a brief grow-diary, if anyone should happen to be interested...
