I ended up eating all the pins that fell off.
But the cakes are currently still in the pot, until later today when we have the FC set up. Me and ShroomTaSTiKo going to get the perlite right now.
Anyone know where we can find a cheap hydrometer?

Cigar shops sells the analog ones. I got mine for $20 bucks. I dunno if that's expensive, but it's the cheapest one I've found.
And it's called a "hygrometer" with a "g". I know, its weird.

OK. So their in the FC now. We bought the perlite at home depot. Also stopped by Walmart and picked up the 'hygrometer' (it is named weird), which is a digital one that displays both temp and humidity levels, which we got for free might I add.
I'm sure Mr. Shro0mtastik is going to put up some more pictures soon. Wish us luck.

MAKE SURE there is 4-5 inches of perlite in there, very important. The fruiting chamber needs to be at least a few inches up off the counter top so that air can travel through the bottom holes and up through the perlite.

how would you do that? put the FC on a rack? or maybe something small on the bottom to pick it up like a few stacked books?

What does that hygrometer say? is that 83 degrees 75 % humidity or vice versa? Either way you need to get the humidity up a bit in there if that is the case. If the temp is 83 that needs to fall a bit also.
Check your perilite, stick your finger in it and see if it is dry or not.

OK. That sounds more like it.
Is that the pin that was growing in vitro?

Cool.
and yeah. we ended up not dunking that one, just carefully wiping off the old verm under slow running water, then sprinkling new verm on it.
one thing i forgot to mention, we had to break the jars in order to get the cakes out. the jars weren't wide-mouth. but it still got the job done. we'll get better jars next time.

You should just pluck that little fucker and dunk that cake. It will produce at least 50% more if you hydrate it.

Yes you can put the FC on a rack. I use rocks and/or bricks, glass under the corners..... You don't want to block the bottom holes at all. You can block a couple holes on the corner when you suspend it in the air, it is ok.... I wouldn't use books because they can act as a substrate for mold, and act as a vector for contamination when they get wet from misting or any leakage from the bottom....

it might look small in the pics.. but its about 3 inches of perlite.. also.. i was noticing that i have one cake ahead of the rest.. it has some good sized pins on it.. and the others are not showing anything yet.. is this normal for some to grow faster than others?
