Problem
    #13002883 - 08/04/10 05:41 PM (14 years, 5 months ago)

Quite a while ago, I posted my cakes in a terrarium and someone pointed out I should add more holes. I did so but I believe it is causing a problem that never occurred in previous grows. The only mushrooms on my cakes are growing on the bottom. I pretty sure this has something to do with the holes because this has never been a problem. Any suggestions?

Plug the holes. The humidity isn't high enough, so the mushrooms are growing where the humidity is the highest- between the cakes and the perlite. The holes should be small (1/4") and if you're doing a shotgun-type of tub, there should also be holes at the bottom of the tub with the tub elevated so that air can get underneath it.

Would masking tape be okay for covering the holes? How much should I cover, around 50%?

Just mist more/heavier. No need for tape.

I mist and fan as much as my full time schedule will allow me. :smirk: My humidity meter hasn't shown past 91% since I started the grow.

I went ahead and taped a lot of the holes. It looks extremely "ghetto" now. No, it's not really pinning anywhere other than the very bottom of the cake. There is actually shrooms burrowing through the perlite. I'm sure it doesn't really matter but these are b+ I'm growing. My first grow was golden teacher and I had quite a bit of success with them.
