pearl oyster aborts?
    #18751122 - 08/24/13 11:33 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Do you guys get a lot of aborts with pearl oysters?

I get a lot of pins, but about 60% turn brown and die.  I have a 16' x 8' grow room with 4 6k lights.  the walls are covered with plastic sheeting. I have the house hvca ran into the room for air circulation.  it keeps the temps at 68 to 70 degrees all the time.  I have two humidifiers going 24/7.  the rh is 75% when the air is off, and 65 to 70% when air is running.  I even use a sprayer every few hours if i think it looks dry.  At the moment i only have oysters fruiting in baskets.  this is my 2nd flush with these baskets, but the 1st flush my grow room wasn't fully operational.  I have 4 sawdust blocks of enoki starting to pin now.  the enoki seem to be strong.

maybe this is normal?
this hobby is very frustrating.

The only time that I have seen that in my grow area is when I have it too dry.

Sounds like it is too dry.  Just a few hours of too low a humidity can screw up a fruiting. I would try for 85% RH and no dry spells.

Contamination and gnats can also cause an aborted fruiting.

They seem to be very vulnerable at the pin stage.  Once caps have started to develop they don't seem to require as much humidity.
Oysters are frustrating indoors.

my air must be super dry.  the rh will drop 10% really fast when it's on.
