? about my cakes

amnije · 03-22-07, 17:31

2 days ago i birthed 2 pints (brf-verm), cut them in half,dunked,and rolled them in verm.
They are in 3 ltr. water bottles to fruit.
today they look fuzzy in the exposed areas (about 1/8 in. of fuzz seems to be
trying to grow over the verm).
Is this normal or is this cobweb starting to form?

oibchip · 03-22-07, 17:33

A picture would be most helpful..very difficult to tell without one.

Elf Salvation · 03-22-07, 17:36

if it is cobweb, find out by putting a few drops of H2O2 on the fuzz, cobweb will melt away..

03-22-07, 18:40

Yea a pic is really needed to tell for sure. What Elf said will work also. Did the cakes have this fuzz on them before you birthed?

dinosaur · 03-22-07, 19:35

cap of h2o2 and some bottle water will nuke'em

amnije · 03-22-07, 19:50

no fuzz at birth cant seem to up a pic.
i'm gonna try the h2o2
thanks to all for the help

reverend trips · 03-22-07, 20:00

How often are you exchanging the air in you bottle/chamber?

CoyoteMesc · 03-22-07, 20:03

Mycel may melt down/back too.(the fuzzy kind anyway)
If it is cobweb its growth will go nutz QUICK.
I'd guess this is the normal high humidity
reaction after birth. But yeah pics are best.
Id wait a bit and see.

That would be my guess too.
Fluffy myc.

amnije · 03-22-07, 20:08

bottom has a high rim in the middle so icut about an inch in and filled the rim around the edge with verm. then placed it over the cake sitting on a ball jar cap so there should be plenty of air. I mist once a day and pick up three times a day to disperse co2.
I just put a drop of h2o2 on fuzz and so far it seems unaffected

reverend trips · 03-22-07, 20:11

Just keep doing what you are doing and you will be rewarded in a few days.

amnije · 03-22-07, 20:11

I tried to upload a pic but after 5 min it still didnt upload .
does it usually take that long. if so i will try again.

reverend trips · 03-22-07, 20:13

You aren't directly misting the cake, right?

CoyoteMesc · 03-22-07, 20:15

check the type of file, then the size
after that look at the chart on the
"upload" page. If your file is too large
sometimes it will take forever before it
gives you the error msg. So just go ahead
and change the file type or resize your image.
Hope that helps

amnije · 03-22-07, 20:22

I've been pulling the jug off the cake and then misting up into the jug then placing it back down

amnije · 03-22-07, 20:24

thanks for the info on resizing. why would i bother to read the directions before i jumped right in LOL

CoyoteMesc · 03-22-07, 20:30

yup, that cake looks gorgeous,

I knew those large cd cases would come in handy one day
Thanks to all for the help!!

03-22-07, 21:54

cool!
how long has it been since birthing?

fahtster · 03-22-07, 22:49

those cakes look great.

fahtster

dinosaur · 03-23-07, 04:26

c.d container nice

amnije · 03-23-07, 16:38

day 3 I dont see any pins yet but its hard to tell with the verm on the cake

dinosaur · 03-24-07, 00:12

they'll look loke this soon

amnije · 03-27-07, 21:01

Day 7
I'm guessing that these are pins!
This is only my second try,the first try the tips turned dark very quickly.
Trying to find a cooler spot, since the spike in temp has brought the area up to about 77-78 deg.

CoyoteMesc · 03-27-07, 22:36

yeah those are pins

but I have to ask what strain are those
I musta missed that?
I have never grown chronic style but they
seem like they are wanting more FAE 's, I dunno though?

amnije · 03-29-07, 15:13

the strain is star gazers.
I try to let them breathe about 4 times daily
but i'm having a problem trying to keep temp down.
It seems to stay around 77 deg.
Will this slow the growth or cause any other problems?

fahtster · 03-29-07, 17:24

man, can I ask, did you buy them from a vendor and how much did you pay?

hopefully you didn't pay more than 20$ for them. if you did, I've got some tiddly winks and blue monster crunchers for ya reeeeeeal cheap, only cost ya your first born child.. lol just messin with ya yo.

your cakes look freakin amazing, very healthy... i'm guessin you'll be very happy in the next couple days.

heres a little jig for those beautiful pins....

Mermaidia · 03-29-07, 18:27

i love he way the mycellium looks....so healthy and bright white.
Gotta participate in the pin dance too

!

For future reference, cobweb can have a milky gray appearance to it, not nearly as bright as myc.

Best of Luck,
Merm

03-29-07, 19:13

Yea I, like Fahtster, saw these "star gazers" on a site somewhere that were outrageously over-priced. Since thats the only place Ive ever seen a strain identified as "star gazers", I wondered the same thing. Your best off ordering from one of the sponsors here. You cant go wrong there. Although it appears they were legitimate cubes, you might no be as lucky the next time, if the source isnt credable. Best of luck to you though. -Snake

amnije · 03-29-07, 19:51

2 syringes $14.95
I won't advertise a non sponsor but i found them before i found this site.
Next is B+!
Some updated pics!
Let's all dance!

:danc e:

Thanks to all for the help.

amnije · 03-29-07, 20:02

My next obstacle is to lock down an lc.
after 4 -5 tries still no luck.
I've got the myc in the liquid,but i can't seem to get the jars to take

Check out what was in my driveway this morning!

Freaky · 03-29-07, 20:28

I'm nominating for a pic of the month! Very nice cake, good and healthy!

I like how you used pvc pipe to set it on!

Happy eating

CoyoteMesc · 03-29-07, 20:48

Looking good man, keep up the good work!

Sunstar · 03-29-07, 22:49
