BRF cakes - one not pinning, one barely pinning
    #15675054 - 01/16/12 06:56 PM (12 years, 5 months ago)

Hey guys, im doing my first cult. project and here's a little background. 2 caes, one pint jar, one qtr pint jar. they're both in a perlite fruiting chamber, with 95 percent RH on avg. I fan 4 times a day and mist twice heavily. My cakes are getting very blue (I can only assume they're drying out as I've handled them only a few times and very gently.) and only 1 cake (the pint cake) has pinned and started fruting, but it has only produced 3 fruits and they're at the very bottom of the cake. I cant figure out why my other cake isn't pinning, and why the pinset on my pint cake is so miniscule, does anyone have any input? they receive about 10 hours of indirect light and other then the lack of pins, the fruits are looking VERY good.

Lets see some pics of the blue.. Could be contam.. Also a quarter pint jar is awefully small man, if you do get anything from it, they are going to be very small I would imagine..

If your cakes are blue, then they're probably not getting enough moisture. If it were me, I would increase the number of times I mist, and decrease the number of times I fan.
Many people will tell you otherwise, but I always fan FIRST and then mist... I do this 2-3 times per day. I get very nice yields.
What are the specs of your FC? Also, did you dunk and roll?

theyve been in the FC for over a week now. It DOES NOT have any holes in it, whichill be adding tonight to hopefully get some more FAE. However, like I said, I fan at least 4 times a day, sometimes more. it has 4inches of perlite that was thoroughly soaked with water before putting it in the FC. Its simply a white container with seran wrap over the top. Im working on geting pics but I only have internet access from my phone and shroomery wont let me upload jpg. pictures for some reason. If any of you have a solution ill get on it ASAP. the blueness Im almost positive its normal myc bruising but im not really qualified to make this statement. I did not dunk and roll the cakes, but I will after this minor initial flush, would you guys recommend redunking the qrtr pint cake to see if I can get anything out of it?

Oh dude, first off, get some holes in that FC ASAP! You might be able to salvage this grow. For your next grow, though... get a clear plastic tote with a LID so you can make a true shotgun FC with 1/8" holes drilled every two inches in all directions, on all six sides of the tote. You will have better results.
And yeah, I'd go ahead and dunk that one cake for 12-24 hours.
Good luck!

can only download .jpg directly to your gallery, not directly to the thread..

Also, you may have screwed the pooch on this one with not putting the holes in, the lack of fresh air and possibly standing water from misting would definately cause contams bro!! Wont be sure til we see a pic but yea next time do a search for SGFC and follow the tek to a T and you shouldnt have any problems next time..:goodluck:

Thanks buddy your advice is appreciated! Im going to get some holes in there tonight and redunk the smallest cake. I have 5 more cakes almost 100 percent colonized and when I birth them I'll be sure to do it right this time. Is the lack of FAE responsible for the lack of pinning?

lack of pins is prob from not enough FAE but i cant realy say without a pic also im going to say the bruising is most likley from water sitting ontop of your cakes from spraying too much give them a dunk drill some holes get a lid and just go with the flow bro!

for an update, I have pics in my gallery of the cakes. the bruising can only vaguely be seen in the pic where the mushrooms arethe biggest. The mushrooms have since been harvested, cakes redunked, and fruiting chamber now has dozens of holes in it. I guess we will see if this flush brings about any changes! thanks for the help guys!

I see no gallery in your profile, make sure you listed the photos as public or we wont be able to see them, you can now upload the photos from your gallery to any post by using the button that looks like a mountain and then clicking my pics, then you can select which pics to add to a post..

Just looked at your photos... you're on the right track! Just make sure you use the true Shotgun FC with your next cakes and you'll be all set. Btw, what strain are those? One more thing, get yourself some vermiculite to roll those cakes in after you un-dunk them.

thanks for the encouragement friend! they're cambodians, and my next batch thats incubating is ecuadorian. cant wait to see how  they turn out! this is such a fascinating hobby, i absolutely love it! and very rewarding too haha. I've rolled them in a fairly thin layer of verm after the redunk and have about a tablespoon of verm on top of each cake that I thoroughly wet with every mist and ive noticed its keeping my cakes way more moist. Im hoping this helps out with the upcoming pinset, It looks like there are a ton of hyphal knots forming so im incredibly enthusiastic about this next flush. Thanks again for all the advice guy, you're all great!
