Green Mold is just rude...
    #8067880 - 02/25/08 08:32 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

It's kinda like the friend that just doesn't know when to go home and keeps eating all your damn food and no matter how many times you change your locks or throw his shit outside that fucker just keeps coming back.

Anyway I am currently during my second grow. My first did ok but only about an oz from 10 cakes due to green mold contam. Now I have spent many hours reading and learning from you wonderful wonderful people and began my second batch.

Vermiculite Bird seed substrate
PC'd 1 Pint mason jars 1 1/2 hours
Mycellium colonized completely
cold dunked for 24hrs
Sprayed room all walls, tables, Terrarium, floor with lysol
using strained perilite
rolled in sterile verm
cakes on tinfoil squares
misting lightly with water peroxide combo
holes in for FAE and fanning 3 times a day

Only 6 were ready (the rest are slowly colonizing still) within a week and a half I recently harvested a dry oz from first flush of 6.

This morning I went to dunk for second flush and noticed one of those bastards has been infected with green mold (i know it's the spores of trich im talking about btw).
I already had taken these 6 out...separated the one from the rest and dunking separately because it's like losing a child and just not ready to bury my baby.

Also 24 hours before this I put in a new cake.

Now my questions are:

Is my terrarium fucked? Is their anyway to salvage without respraying the room cleaning the terrarium and straining new perilite?

Are the separate (no green spores...yet) 5 cakes fucked?
Is the new cake I put in fucked?
Am i just unlucky or am I missing something?

I know their are numerous post's about this but I just need to know if somehow their is something I missed.

Thanx in advance for any replies.

Help me save my babies :frown:

Toss out the moldy cake. Next time, don't put peroxide in your misting water. I want to rip the heads off the ignorant bastards who keep recommending to new growers to do that. Peroxide weakens the mycelium, and then the faster recovering molds can take over.

NEVER use peroxide in misting water. 3% peroxide can wipe out a cobweb infestion, but there really isn't much other use for it in mycology.

First thanks for your reply. I knew that peroxide wasn't helpful unless I had cobweb mold but I did not realize it would hurt the mycelium, I figured it would be preventive or otherwise be nine...damn *kicks self in face*

What about my other questions aside from the infested cake? Should I throw out all other 5 and now 6 that have been exposed to possible spores? Those babies were producing so nicely but I don't want to risk further contamination.

BTW I'm dying to watch your video's on youtube once I have access to some cable.

Don't throw them out yet. Keep a close eye on them and remove them at the first sign of any green.

Yea after the 24 hours was up I put the 5 back in...threw out the 1 little bastard and left the other one that was in the chamber still in there. Which has been in there now 2 days since I noticed contamination and haven't seen anything bad....yet.

Just gonna cross my fingers and hope the myc will win out and all will be right in the world. Thanx for the advice

Hopefully If shit is gonna go south it does in the next 24 hours cause i got another 3 cakes almost ready to go in...I make a second back terrarium for these situations I suppose.

Well if anyone cares for an update it seems as though things are going well. It's hard to tell with the rolled verm on em but the 5 are starting to pin the one I put in first hasn't started pinning yet but is cleaner of verm and looks nice and white and I just added another 2 so I think maybe I got lucky. Pray for my Myc guys...:mushroom2:
