Quick noob question
    #14394246 - 05/03/11 12:30 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I just started pinning probably 3 days ago. Everything is looking great, I notice growth each day. The only thing I am wondering about is where the mushrooms are getting the water to grow from. Does it all come from the cake? Or am I supposed to be misting to give them the water? Thanks for the help

Not true...I don't ever mist my monos...no fanning either.

OP - misting is to keep the perlite damp & your RH up. Your mushrooms are getting their water & nutrients from the cakes.

GH/Martha don't need misting either...

FYI: I stole all my pix off google! F+ PORN! Here is a shit-ton of porn by yours truly!

I have FINALLY written up a couple teks as to how SHP has done things in the past. DISCLAIMER: This is not for the newbie to mycology, and not going to work for everyone! This is simply what works for one person when other teks and methods have failed miserably!
~~~~~How SHP does their unconventional WBS Prep!! (NO DRY METHOD)~~~~
~~~~~SHP's highly disputed method of doing ALL their work outside of a flow hood or a Still air box!~~~~~
~~~~~Troubles harvesting the side and bottom pins in your mono? Learn how!! Dunking included ;-)~~~~~

So you fruit your CAKES in a mono???? Of course not...soooo...

to keep the perlite damp & your RH up...yeah,but also to replace the water that evaporate from your sub in this case cakes!

You replace the water in your cakes or bulk (doesn't matter which one) when dunking. Misting is once mushrooms are developed beyond pins is for RH. Misting when initially birthed is to entice evaporating water from the substrate, which is a HUGE pinning trigger.
