I think my casing went south
    #6828957 - 04/24/07 07:42 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

I cased 6 1/2 pint pf jars in a 50 50 verm peat casing. After about 4 days mycelium was poking threw in about 5 places.. I patched it and started introducing light/mist/fanning. Its been 10 days and nothing is happening. There is a small spot of mycelium poking threw in a corner and it looks blue.. Whats up?

Blue is not bad.

Green is terrible.

Black is death. 

thats all you need to remember. (hope it doesn't turn green)  :rockon:

It sounds like trichoderma, but you'll need to post a picture.

Crumbling and casing pf cakes is a horrible waste of good cakes. Pf cakes are already 2/3 vermiculite, so when you destroy the cake, and then the only thing you do is dump more inert material over the top of it, all you do is shock it for nothing. If you're going to crumble up a cake, the least you should do is spawn it to manure or coir so it has some food to help it recover. All a casing layer does is supply moisture, which can much more efficiently be done with dunking. Dunking doesn't destroy the cake in the process, so you get your fruits much sooner with less chance of contamination.
