use a 1:5 peroxide solution in your mister if you want to kill those contams. If it's cobweb, you can use pure peroxide and actually watch it dissolve the mold. If it turns green soon, then cut that area out and patch. I use a 1:10 peroxide mix when misting my casings regardless of contams or not, the mushroom myc seems to get used to the peroxide after a little bit...

I do use peroxide. i was also told that peroxide stunts growth and that that's what makes it turn grayish. i don't think it's mold because the myc turned gray right after i misted it 2 days ago. i don't think that the myc will continue to grown in those patches. it's trying to but theres just rings around them. they won't fill in. can i put a small layer of casing on the whole thing. and then just water the hell out of it. i don't care if i delay it a little. but i got to get it moist before it gets to the point where it won't even absorb water. my RH is at 99% and temp at 76 degrees. i probably should have been misting just after i cased for the first 4 days or so i only did it once before i put it in the FC. but it looked good then and i did'nt want to overwater. but i guess i was underwatering for those first 4 or 5 days. thanx

Oh, and from the pic's i posted most of what you see ther is acually the grey stuff the cam makes it look whiter. if you look close the real white suff is thoes very small dots. the real white stuff is getting bigger but it stays away from the gray stuff or just puts rings around them. and misting with water/peroxide just makes them more grey even though there not puddled.

I've always recommended do not use peroxide unless contams are suspected becuase it does retard growth and will harm developing primordia and thats a fact! Congrads on your white dots (primordia)!

I used a closet once setup a nice little lab trouble was all the shit that was in there ended up in the bedroom that pissed off the GF then I ended up dumping her as she was getting in the way of my sterile culture technique! Ya I got priorities too!!!"
