Blue hairy monstrosity
    #27133609 - 01/07/21 06:16 PM (3 years, 1 month ago)

So I left my second-flush PF cakes with a friend for two weeks while I was out of town and I came back today to find this blue hairy monstrosity growing



The cakes are still white and smell pretty much fine but they have no more than a couple tiny primordia, some of which are aborts others not. I don't know what kind of contamination this is but it's hairy and gross and quite large. I've not been doing this for very long, this is my first ever grow.

So mostly I'm trying to figure out how to proceed, whether the other cakes are likely to be contaminated as well, in such a way that's not visible yet?

Decayed and moldy.

I guess I'll just re-dunk the cakes and put them back in the SGFC with new perlite then.

I don't see any mold on that mush, I see fuzzy mycelium towards the stem base

Edit: keep the humidity below 90% or you can run into problems, rot will set in quick with high humidity. 60-85% relative humidity is perfect, less or more humidity is will cause trouble.

That's not mold that's a fruit the mycelium overtook and it got soggy.
