They'll pin soon, most likely. Next time wait a week after full colonization before birthing. Patience is the single best skill a grower can have.

another 'be patient post' I sat mine under a fan for 10 minutes after fairly heavy misting a few times a day, just enough to evaporate all the moisture that triggered it instantly on my first grow. If you build it, they will come

dont buy a fruiting chamber.
make one.
and the one you are currently using is sub-par
and i wouldnt be surprised if your substrate never pins. or at least it will do so VERY poorly.
i have to ask. what tek did you follow to make your fruiting chamber?

Once you have a fully colonized cake, it is very resistant to contam. As long as your environment is fairly clean, you would be good putting the fan on it for a lil while, not that the said method is suggested.
it isnt hard to build a fruiting chamber. you need a drill, a 1/4 inch drill bit, and a tub. i wouldnt consider that "building"

k00laid: wut do u mean mine is sub-par?and why would they never pin??:O i am not using a fruiting chamber just a transparent bag, i bought this from mycomate its called fast fungi(not so fast),most of my others are cased tho,should they be fine?
shroomiin:how much will it cost to build a fruiting chamber, and an incubation chamber?because this mycodome has perfect temp and humidity and FAE,and it incubates,fruits and dries, all for $120, isnt that very good investment, rather than buyin the chambers drill and systems, then mess up some where in installing the system?i never tried making one, all the teks seem to much hassle

agreed, just do research on Tub teks. dont need to spend 100$+ for crap. you might not be getting enough FEA if that bag only has a filter and you have it folded over at the top. You dont need an incubation chamber unless its friggin cold where you live

spector: yes it is them bags u fold from the top,but i presumed fanning 3 times a day would be more than sufficient....isnt it??btw can i mist with water and a drop of dettol/toilet bleach
k00laid:i would try to make it,thanx for the link...but jus wondering why wouldnt it yield much, as these are exactly the steps offered when i bought the kit, it says i should expect about 100 grams fresh every week?

Well if your fanning then you are getting FEA, you just didnt state that earlier so i didnt know. as for a lil bleach, its not necessary but you can do it to feel a lil better. Make sure to find a Good, harmless, Ratio!! if your gonna put sum bleach in your water. Yields are kinda up to you, quality of sub, bla bla bla, ect. ect. 100g fresh is 10g dry, 90 to 95% of mushrooms is water.

No. They cost 10x more and work half as well. You don't need an incubation chamber. Colonize jars at room temperature (72*F to 81*F). Building a simple shotgun fruiting chamber will cost you nothing but the cost of the tub and the perlite. Your looking at around 10 bucks.
I don't know how its too much hassle. all you do is buy a normal plastic bin, and drill 1/4 inch holes on EVERY side, 2 inches a part. It takes like 20 minutes. That is the easiest part!
EDIT- MYCODOME
please, do not buy this thing. its just two 5 gallon buckets shoved together with a plastic lid. they even include a cheap air pump, some geolite, a spray bottle and a hygrometer!
seriously man, that is a rip-off.

^^ lol i would never pay 125 for a FC that you can make so easily yourself and with such cheap materials even if you have to buy a drill that will only set you back 20 bucks and you still have the extra 90 left over to buy hamburgers or something.

I have to say as a noob the most expensive thing I had to buy for my grow set up (my step-dad had a drill) was my light bulb (7.67) collectively, because I went WAY overboard, I spent 50$ on the whole thing. I.e perlite, verm, flour, light, tub, plastic light diffuser thingy, jars, bottle for misting, yada yada yada. It is true when experienced ppl tell you these materials are CHEAP because THEY ARE! You just have to put fourth a little extra effort in looking. If you have access to the internet (if you're on here I would assume you do) do your research GOOGLE sadly knows all and threads here give good advice. Sometimes it's hard to be self sufficient doing something you aren't familiar with but if you have done your homework trust in the knowledge you have ask a few questions and try it and see. Be sure to follow your tek and if that sucks find a new one or follow your tek to the T. Experimentation is for people with experience.
