IME pins will abort if you dunk them.

yeah, it seems strange that you can dunk pins for 12-24 hours but at the same time you aren't supposed to mist them directly as it can cause them to abort. ???  :stoned2:

:justdontknow: I mist the heck out of my tubs. May lead to aborts, may not. IME, not so much.

Don't shoot a stream of water directly onto pins, or onto the substrate. Of course. That's enough force to damage the mycelium.
But 'aggressive misting' seems to be fine.

Mist the crap out of them it's fine(cakes, tub, perlite, etc..)
The bluing could be from birthing the cakes,  it's normal and if you have a nice pin set then don't stress.

Another good thing to do is a small pile of verm atop the cake, then moisten it as you see fit.

I don't think you can always assume bluing is due to dryness.

And I also think there's big differences in this regard by strain. This view is supported by the strain info in Cervantes journal where it is written about some strains that they don't like to be misted directly, i.e. turn blue, stall.

My cat had costa rica and pe cakes in the same shotgun fc recently. The costa's had no problem with the mistings. The pe cakes blued severely. The cakes were not rolled in verm, so this problem was probably exacerbated. However the blue cakes are finally pinning, so it's not a crisis. The costa's fruited b4 the pe even pinned. They were soaked too long and pinned under-water. However, these pins did not even abort and are doing fine.

If you think about how different the climates are in various locations around the world, it makes perfect sense that mushrooms would react differently to rain. In some areas where you get very frequent rain, you would expect the mushrooms to tolerate it. In areas where rain comes intermittently, but in torrents, you would expect the mushrooms to abort their pins in expectation of the downpour, but then pin again when the soil starts to dry out. It's called natural selection.

well, i have been misting regularly and i did place some moist verm on top to help retain moisture. thanks anonjon for your input. i guess i'll stop worrying so much about the blueness... when i heard that it was due to drying out i got a little worried but thanks to you i'm not anymore. the strain is big mex, if that makes a difference. still a cube, right?
thanks everyone.
