What else do I need to do to fruit!!!!!
    #13211478 - 09/17/10 08:36 PM (13 years, 4 months ago)

So heres some pictures of my make shift setup.  I spawned some golden teacher in a rye seed bag.  Because of school and work taking up my time I havnt really had a chance to sit down and do this all proper. So when the rye seed was pretty much all white I laid down some wet perlite in my camper cooler and plopped the big chunk of mycelium down, then i decided Id sterilize some vermiculite and then as if i were building a sand castle I caked it all over.  Well it colonized the casing and Ive been exposing it to light for the past seven days.  Im just wondering if im missing something to get these guys started, I read another post where a guy had a similar situation and someone suggested dunking it, but im scared.  Let me know what you think

Bright light and fresh air are the main pinning triggers, so fan a lot and get a nice bright fluorescent lamp above it.

REED MOAR!

But seriously, look at the various fruiting chambers posted here in grow logs and teks and see which one suits your needs. Simple shotguns and monos are effective and affordable.

By the looks of things, that mass is really trying to pin. Needs air bad.

I almost want to take it out and put it into a small SGFC, but moving it may damage it.
If you can get it out with little crumbling, do it. Copy a SGFC or monotub for the appropriate size.
Fresh air is what you need, and unless you can fan that cooler thoroughly every few hours, you just won't get enough.

Misting and fanning is half of mycology.
The other half is drilling holes in things.

Yeh, I know how it can be.
SG's are very easy and if set up right, can be left for 12hrs a day. Take good care of them and you'll be golden! Scale one down to fit your needs. I made 2 that are for mini bulks that are just a tad bigger than what you're doing, by the looks of things. I fruit the bulk like a huge cake, essentially. Generous verm casing on top. But I digress...

It's all about the right balance of fresh air and keeping RH up. It's easy to bounce back and forth between extremes, so if you find you are a little too dry or wet, or not enough fresh air, make a SLIGHT change. Fan a little more, mist a little more, what have you . Baby steps. Getting too wet can invite contams, and too dry just slows fruiting way down and can damage mycelium.

Best of grows to you, and keep us posted. That looks like a nice mass o' myc!

FAE is definitely gonna be your biggest problem in that thing, RH should be great though. Just make sure to fan a lot and it will probably work out okay. Getting a real SG terrarium is obviously your smartest option, but if you must use that then fan fan fan
