FC Progress & A Couple Questions
    #16189946 - 05/06/12 11:02 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I have been perusing this fantastic forum alot since late last night. Corrected mistakes that I was making in my FC, etc. I know I need to make a new FC with ALOT fewer holes. But, for now, this one is gonna have to do. I'll make a new FC for future grows. I raised my FC off the ground and, of course, this aided in air flow.

I have a question regarding misting the interior of the fruiting chamber (the cakes and the perlite). I am using a 10oz sprayer/mister. I fill it with tap water and mist until it runs out - morning, noon, and night. Is this too much or too little? Bottom line is I intend to mist approx 30 oz of tap water on the interior of my FC daily. I'd love to know your thoughts.



Finally, I have noticed that, once I started misting more (starting today; because yesterday and prior I was not misting enough), some of the mycelium on the cakes have starting turning a very light blue. From what I have read in this forum, this is normal and typically indicates "bruising" from misting.

I've attached my latest and greatest pics. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated as I'm a rank amateur just trying to figure this process out! Thanks!!

oh and by the way, I know now that 1 mistake i made is that i did not let my cakes consolidate inside the jars. as soon as they were 100%, i'd dunk and roll, and put em in the FC. so, my cakes have been inside FC for 5 days now. I assume that they'll need a couple more days at least before i get pins. anyway, just wanted to mention that. tnx everybody!

That sounds like a lot of water... Mist enough to make the verm moist not soaked  followed by fanning.. misting + fanning = evaporation and that = pinning

Got it! Tnx! So, 3 times per day i will mist just enough to moisten the verm, and then fan, fan, fan. Im more looking forward to my next round to be honest. Wanna correct mistakes. Most notably, wanna let my jars consolidate before the dunk & roll. I had no idea. But now i know. Hey and do u think the natural sunlite coming from that window (see pic) is enough lite? Tnx!!!

Yeah but try not to let to much direct sunlight hit it . And its not a set in stone 3 mist per day you need to spend some time to watch your cakes and when they start drying out  mist a little after , since your fc was not constructed properly it will be different..
