Continous Contaims!
    #6065744 - 09/15/06 06:21 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Hey guys the problem i keep having is after i put my BRF cakes in my PMP, they mold, some after a few days some after they begin to pin. Green mold all of them, EVERYTHING molds... I am using a fine vermiculite and think that may be a cause of that. Its soo compact the mycelium isnt getting as thick or as strong as it should be. I have no extra holes in my tank to try and keep contaims out and only open it maybe once a day to check on stuff. Ideas Thoughts? Thanks! I also spray a peroxide/water mixture on it once a day to keep everything moist and to try and help to keep contaims dead. The temp stays around 73 to 74 and humidity low 90's. If ya'll need anymore info LMK. :confused:

I'd let them colonize to 110%, birth, dunk, roll and...


drastically up the Fresh Air Exchange.

Mold will not have fun trying to survive in a high FAE enviromnent.

with high FAE, and dunking between flushes, trich shouldn't be
much of a problem.


try raising the ph of the cakes/substrate.

well ive got the PMP with a air pump that says its made for a tank upto 150 gallons, i got the biggest i could find but im guessing its not enough? should i also fan out the tank too? ive got about 20 cakes in my tank, And should i sterilize the vermiculite? or just use it straight out of the bag? If so what temp in the oven and for how long?

If you're making brf cakes, the verm should be getting sterilized along with the substrate. It's possible you're injecting a few trichoderma spores into the cakes along with your mushrooom spores and it just takes until after birthing to show up. If not, it sounds like you're birthing too early. They need to be 100% colonized for a few days before birthing.
