Contaminated?????? --------------------- P.Cubensis
    #7844693 - 01/07/08 05:32 PM (16 years, 25 days ago)

Hey all
i'm trying to grow p.cubensis through making the cake with brown rice flour and verm. i waited till the mycelium was covered and was ready to colinize, i brought a box and sterilized it, now its got around 2 inch of perlite and the cake covered in verm. the thing is its smelling rather off in there, is it contaminated???
theres no mould or anything, ive also read having a blue light above the cake will help it grow as hte p.cubensis filters blue out of natural light which helps it grow??

any help would be appreciated.

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

LOL sniff sniff mmmm smells like chicken... Anyway you could at least describe the smell. Mycelium to me kinda smells earthy and kinda sweet after you dunk it. Just keep a close eye on it, a contam would show itself soon enough but your probably just paranoid.

lets see. 21 x 1.8 +32= 69.8 degrees. Hmmm. Gents? I've never incubated this low so I can't suggest anything.

If it was 69F then that is why they took so long to complete.

It isn't blue light as in a blue lightbulb. It is light in the bluer spectrum range, the bulbs normally known as daylight or white light (at a 6000k spectrum).

If you have ever grown weed or seen a setup, it is the difference between the sodium vapour light you use for flowering (gives off an orangey light) and metal halide lamps used for vegetative growth (give off a blueish/white light)

I nice cheap solution for lighting is a daylight compact fluerescent (6500k) that should do nicely for a small setup, a nice bright one.

Not sure why your FC smells odd, i have 5 cakes in mine and it has a hint of earthy mushroom.

Did u rinse your perlite very well!! It may just be the smell of perlite
