First time grower needs some advices :)
    #11725077 - 12/27/09 09:06 AM (15 years, 24 days ago)

Hello guys! I've been reading forums quite long and now I got to register :smile:

So.. This is my first time cultivating mushrooms and choose P.C B+, screwed 5 pf-cakes but there is still some hope with my last cake :smile:
Its been in fruiting chamber for 4 days now with lights on about 6h a day. Yesterday morning I noticed first white dots popping out of the cake but I'm worried about humidity (70%) and cake being too dry.. There is 3cm wet light gravel at bottom of terrarium. I dunked the cake for 7h before putting it to fruiting without rolling and it seems to be pretty dry from top. Chamber isn't air-tight but I have been misting the walls 2x day, tho I have read that I shouldn't do that after white dots appear, is it true?

Should I re-dunk the cake even the white knots are growing or do they get damaged by that? How about light? Do I need to give it 24h light now or can I continue 6h/day cycle?

Probably stupid questions but this is my first time and I don't wanna screw it.

you shouldnt dunk them again if you see pins fomring, just mist it and be patient, then dunk after your first flush.  light isn't very important, just give it indirect light for 6 to 12 hrs a day like you have been doing.  good luck:thumbup:

Thanks for a fast reply. I got one more question: Should I mist it "upwards" that water lays down on the cake or just the walls?

Look up "double end casing" also referred to by some as DEC.
It might be ideal for your purposes.

Ignore any advice telling you not to directly mist the cakes. This info is at least 5 years outdated. FAE+evaporation from the surface of the cake are your two biggest pinning triggers. Just make sure you are fanning after you mist. Good luck!

You can mist upwards if the mist is very fine and you fan really well right after misting. Misting walls is of course always good and it's also good to fan even without misting. Good luck! :thumbup:

misting walls is bunk info.
just mist above the cakes and let the mist land all over the FC, including on top of the cake.

If misting the walls raises the humidity, why would that be bunk? Or do you mean "only misting the walls is bunk"?

plz don't talk when you don't know what you talking about. People are often waiting to see pins forming invitro before birther wich involve dunking and rolling.

Find a way to raise your rh to at least 90% you will have very poor result if you are below 90% And a 7h dunk is kinda short. Dunk for 24h it won't the pins, they will benefit from it. so yeah, redunk for 24h before your first flush and it should be fine.

Edit: but yeah go get some perlite lol

yep and misting directly on the cake will hydrate it as well so its a 2 in 1 lol. Just fan enough so there is no standing water on the cake. Rolled cake can be misted pretty heavily ( with a very fine mist ) since the verm will absord the water and protect the myc also. I have been misting my cake like 12-13 time per day and fanning everytime and I got a monster flush. Thats mad fae as well a perfect rh and moisture. Ive had problem with uncased bulk tray. Flat surface like tray or monotub that are left uncased tend to hole water pretty much more than a rolled cake so be carfull, mine where bruised all over I pretty much ruined my grow.

OK. I have been misting and fanning for 5-7 times a day now, is it fine? Now I'm worried that the cake formed those hyphal knots after 24h in FC and now the same 20-30 knots have been there for +4days not growing.. If I redunk (24h) will knots suffer from it?

What about rolling? I'm sure knots will die if I do that.

you can dunk primordia for 24h and they will even benefit from it as for the rolling do it as gentle as possible and it should be ok mushroom are fairly resistant so just be carfull.
