Cakes have stopped fruiting... :C
    #13004674 - 08/04/10 11:14 PM (14 years, 5 months ago)

Ok so here is my set up.
I have a 10 gallon fish tank with a fiberglass lid i cut to fit snugly on the top with a small hole for air exchange.
The bottom is lined with wire for the cakes to sit on, there is a humidifier putting humidity into the tank through a hose.
Two blue lights are at the top.

Well everything seemed to be going fine, the mycelium caked well, then I waited a week, dunked and rolled them. then put them in the tank.

Ive been misting them a few times a day, and doing air exchange as well every other day or so.

The temperature stays around 70-80 degrees, and the humidity fluctuates between 70% and 100%

2 mushrooms successfully grew after a week and a half, but then after that nothing.... only a couple pins formed, and only 2 of them grew. I cant even see the other pins anymore :/

what happened? :frown:

70% humidity is not enough for those PF Cakes.
You need mid to upper 90's.

Build a shotgun terrarium.  They're super easy to make, and pretty cheap.

Part 3 is where he starts to build it.

1/4" holes every 2 inches.

what if i just put some per-lite in the bottom? a few inches of it.
And drilled more holes in the top for air exchange?

also what about lighting... I keep those blue lights on 24/7, is that ok?

ive noticed my grows always do their heavy lifting during 100% darkness. mushrooms just love growing in the dark. try to get your room that way 12 hours a day or so and your little friends will love it. and as previous poster(s) have stated, 70% humidity is a bit too low, you want 95-100 for cakes.
