Have I missed something? BRF PF Tek
    #14087824 - 03/08/11 05:06 PM (13 years, 10 months ago)

I feel like my cakes are fruiting slowly. Maybe I'm impatient or maybe I haven't read and retained enough information. I followed the BRF PF Tek from the LGM website. The cakes colonised pretty quickly and were left for a week after 100% colonisation.

After I popped the cakes and rolled in dry verm I put them in my FC. I've been manually fanning and misting every hour or so (not wet but damp). I don't have a hygrometer though the FC seems to always stay damp with moisture showing on all sides and the lid.

I feel I may have missed a step or something?

It's been a week and a half with following results.

you dont need to mist if you built the terrarium right.

You didn't mention lighting.  Hopefully you dunked for 24 hours before rolling in verm.  Next time, use fine verm.  It works better.

Yeah you didn't mention the dunking and soaking for 24hrs. I could see that making a difference

Thanks for the quick replies. Sorry, I should've posted more details.

I just looked closer to get better photos and one cake does have growth! I oughta get my eyes checked! What would be the correct terminology for mushrooms at this stage? Only 1 of the 2 cakes have any growth.





My terrarium with holes in all sides, top and bottom.


I did dunk them 24hrs and rolled in verm. I couldn't find any fine verm at my local so I just went with what they had. I've got 3 more cakes that have only just finished their 24 dunk and I'm about to roll them shortly. I will crush up the verm to be finer.

Lighting I have is a 6500K 'cool' cfl. I looked for a 'warm' bulb but couldn't find any with a 6500K rating (I read somewhere a warm bulb is better). I put them straight from dunking and rolling into the terrarium with a 12/12 schedule.

My perlite is lightly damp but can't puddle because of the holes in the bottom of the terrarium.

6500k cool daylight cfl is exactly what you need. but your fruiting chamber looks off

you need 1/4" holes 2" apart on all six sides. yes... that means the bottom...

5" of dampened perlite.

elevate FC to allow air to flow into the holes in the bottom.

Cool, I'll make some changes to the FC. I kinda rushed its making (perks of having a family) so I'll see what I can do with it. I elevate it using shot glasses and keep it in the cupboard. There's not a lot of airflow in there but I make sure to open the doors every now and then.

lol adventure time.

and if you MUST keep your grow hidden i would suggest you grow a sclerotia forming species as opposed to cubensis.
