1st flush for PF Tek. Where do I go from here?!
    #17320814 - 12/02/12 01:43 PM (12 years, 1 month ago)

AFOAF decided to try his hand at the PF Tek. He said he followed RR's videos and did the basic BRF cake tek, and birthed three healthy looking cakes.

So far they have had small fruits, with a slightly smaller yield than he had hoped. He sent a few pictures

I assume this is what his dried mushies turned out like, he said he currently has about 1.4g dried


He said this was what he was growing in, a shotgun terrarium ( bear in mind he has harvested two of the cakes, the third still has good fruits that haven't had broken veils yet.)


He kept 3 cakes in a Shotgun Terrarium with the temperature at about 68 to 71 at first. The humidity was a little tough to keep up but it stayed around 90% but he's kept it regularly sprayed(He told me today that it had stayed at 99% ever since the tub was moved?!? what's up with that?) He fans is regularly too and has the 5" Perlite.

Where I think he has gone wrong is his FAE, he has an overhead fan running, a window open and occasionally a small oscillating fan running. But if he has so much (IMO) FAE, wouldn't his cakes be fruiting more?

I guess what we were both wondering is where he could go from here. He showed me that he has one cake doing rather well. He harvested the other two completely and was considering dunking them tonight and beginning the 2nd flush.
I've been lurking around here a lot and asked him if he considered, or if was possible, to crumbled the 2 poorer producing cakes and casing them.

Does anyone here think that is a viable option?
(sorry if this is a wall of text, first time poster but long time lurker so I've been harboring some questions...)

So your entire first flush was the size of a quarter?

Everything I have ever said is total bogus bs I am full of crud therefore everything I say should never be taken literal.

And I am mentally unstable.

yeah for two of the cakes. What could I have done wrong? I still have about three healthy fruits on the third cake


I sprayed, fanned had perlite and had a daylight spectrum cool/blue light source. Is there something I missed for getting higher yields?

EDIT: I should also add, maybe I did fuck up harvest-timing-wise. These started fruiting last last Monday and I harvested as they became unveiled. Maybe I should have given them more time to mature? (But I wanted to keep the potency...)
