First Grow - Health Check (Possible Mold?)
    #27039055 - 11/14/20 03:53 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hi all,

Hopefully this is an asinine post and all is well, but first time so wanted to double check with those that know. Seem to be growing strong, but starting to see dark spots that I cant tell if its mold or just bruising, or even substrate showing through.

Thanks!

The pics are a little dark on my monitor but that definitely looks like the unhappy kind of mold growing alongside the happy

that being said- someone smarter than I will arrive at a conclusion for you shortly, I'm sure. I have very little experience with BRF

Got a better light heres more pics. Now that I have seen a couple almost certain its mold, though it seems to only ever be on the bottom of the cakes near the pinning.

Thats just bruising. Nothing to worry about. If it was mold those shrooms growing from those spots would look very sick.

That's some angry bruising from drying out. A quick dunk, shrooms and all, will do it good. You have to mist the cakes directly, are you doing that?

So just a literal dunk in and out of a big bowl room temp water? I wasn't spraying them directly just misting over the top as I read in some tek guide, now seeing where that was maybe not the best advice in a SGFC lol. Still, pretty happy that nothing has gone completely off the rails yet for my first time!

Yea you have to do something drastic with those cakes.
They're so dry a misting won't even cut it. I'd leave them submerged in plain tap water for at least 20 minutes.
If you don't do that your mushrooms are likely to abort.

After the dunk, proceed as per the PF-tek and spray the cakes directly. The walls of the fruiting chamber won't grow shrooms, so no need to mist them.

I'll do that now and report back in a few days, hopefully someone can learn from my missteps!
