My cakes look ok to you guys?? Do you see any pinning
    #14505783 - 05/24/11 05:52 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Hello everyone, I was hoping you all could take a look at my cakes and tell me if everything looks ok with them. I have never grown cakes but have done casings before.

First of all I did kind of rush the birthing only waiting two days after full colonization of the outside of the jars.

Second for the first 3 days I had them in a shotgun chamber made out of one of those styrofoam coolers with the lid cut and fit with a peice of glass.

Yesterday I made a clear shotgun chamber but only have 3 inches of perlite. I have been misting and fanning 3 times a day once in the morning before work, once after work around 4pm and once before bed around 11pm.

My problem is I lack patiance and dont really know what to look for as far as problems. I birthed the cakes last thursday.

My only problem that I know of is I have a hard time getting the temp down to 70-75 degrees it is usually right around 80 but I plan on putting a frozen bottle of water in the chamber tonight, would that be ok??

Anyway can you take a look at the pic and tell me if I should just be patiant or if it looks like I am doing something wrong. I dunked the cakes for 24 hours and rolled them in vermiculite. I can not tell if the white growth is pinning or lack of fresh air though, I have a hard time thinking it is lack of fae as I have holes 2 inches apart on all 6 sides and fan and mist 3 times a day so I am hoping you all tell me to chill and be patiant and all looks well :smile:

Thanks for any help you can provide.

also does the temp difference of 75 and 80 make such a huge difference to risk putting an ice pack in and drying the humidty or should I just let them go as is??

the fluffy white balls should turn to pins in a couple of days if you mist and fan regularly...
