help! Unusual Golden Teacher Colonization (day 6)

Hi guys! I am a newbie, I just got started with my first grow, and I need some help to understand if my GT colonization is going well or not.

i am using a 1200cc GT grow kit (already innoculated) so I just had to soak it and follow the manual.

ive been keeping it at 19-22 Celcius. Opening the bag once a day + spray the walls. I'm desinfecting the area i work + my hands (gloves).

Yet, I am on day 6 and I have these odd things (idk what it is, because visually to me it looks like fruiting, which would be too early to be happening).

i would like some help to understand what this may be, if its normal or not. and if I have to make any changes in my daily care.

thank you very much in advace!!!

Hello and welcome!

Yes, it's already fruiting! 6 days isn't too early, 'cause typically first pins appear within 3-15 days after providing fruiting conditions.

However, all your pins are deformed. At first glance I thought it's just mutation. But some fruits with brown lesion, especially here (see the attached photo below) makes me think about Verticillium contamination. So I'm not 100% sure yet...

Deformed pins with brown rotted looking lesion may be Dry Bubble (Verticillium) disease

What to do? Let's stop misting and wait another 2-4 days, and then see what happens to them. Just send me updated photo and I'll check it out. Even if it's Verticillium, don't worry it's not harmful for you.
