Is this contamination?
    #28372254 - 06/24/23 05:30 AM (1 year, 6 months ago)

I believe these were put into fruiting conditions a little bit too early and have had a lot of potential for outside contaminants. With that being said, though I feel like it is definitely bad, I'm not quite sure what it is. From the pictures I've seen, tric is more green. This is a decidedly blue color. Are the tubs just bruising because they are dehydrated? First time grower so I am having a lot of doubts.

Looks like bruising due to bad surface conditions. Cake looks too dry. Do you mist it as necessary?

I've been misting regularly, but I've been afraid to overmist. Might have caused me to lean in the other direction though. It's also very possible that my substrate wasn't at field capacity. I was using the few drops of water when squeezed guideline, but I suspect I was squeezing a bit harder than was necessary.

So if it is dehydrated, do I just mist it more, or can I add some water down the edge for the whole cake to absorb? Or do I just harvest what I can out of it and call it a loss?

Additionally, if it is just bruising, after this flush, can I still rehydrated and try for a second flush?

Look here: Proper Surface Moisture / When to Increase FAE

You can dunk and hope for a 2nd flush for sure.

shine a flashlight from the sides, it will show you if there are droplets on the surface. Sometimes looking straight from top down view makes it hard to see.
