Fruiting Nepal Chitwan Strain?

Just curious if anybody out there has had any luck getting the nepal chitwan strain to fruit. I got a syringe early this last summer and have been attempting to grow them since. I have no trouble getting PF jars or WBS to colonize completely, but neither PF cakes, PF cakes cased with 50/50 verm/peat, or WBS cased 50/50 verm/peat have fruited successfully.
As a side note, I have Brazilians growing in the same chamber...so the conditions should be close if not alright for nepal fruiting. Anybody have any suggestions, growing parameters or experience with this strain? just curious....
thanks gordita

Right now, I have a few NC pf cakes in my terrarium, along with some brazillian pf cakes. The NC cakes are fully colonized, and appear to be forming hyphal knots. however, i have never gotten them to actully form pins.
I have dropped the temp to try to initiate pinning...that hasn't worked. The brazilian cakes were treated exactly the same, at the same time, as the NC cakes and are fruiting currently, however there is no sign of the NC cakes beginning to fruit.
In the past, after sitting in the fruiting chamber for a long period of time, The NC cakes are overcome by a slimy looking brown contam. The brazilians, even in the same growing chamber, have not had a contam problem.

if there not growing at all the spores were bad....but my Nepal's were done in ten days at 70-80 degree variance .....drop the temp.....or just keep it changing ....i have found i use a cabinet that goes from 70-85....and all my strains just keep moving.....i used to try to keep 82 but i found thats crap......nature grows best ...and when have you seen constant temp in nature!!!!!!!

The change in temp is not needed and it don't need a cold shock its a cube.
It probably needs a dunk and roll or up the moister in your grow chamber.

Load of rubbish. The whole strain concept is a vendor hype. They are all cubes and require the same growing parameters.

The Verm is insly needed to provide moisture, which is beneficial for the mushroom. Though Dunking and rolling is advised for cakes to increase the yield, straight cakes also work, without a problem.
@Chapa888: Do us a favor and read! Spreading information you picked up from other people who don't have clue of what they are talking about is pretty fucked up, since anyone who's new to mushroom cultivation takes you at the word and learns wrong things about it!
