Brf: First grow: How much moisture to induce pinning, plus bulk/general question
    #18847095 - 09/15/13 11:54 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I am doing brf cakes in an sgfc for my first grow. I'm at the fruiting stage, and I've read a ton about it, but I'm still not sure now much moisture I should be giving them to induce pinning. I did a room temperature 24 hour dunk and coated w a good layer of ground up verm. I'm misting and fanning 3-4-5 times a day, and I'm noticing that the verm on the cakes never dries out and there is always water in the side of the FC. Should I let the verm dry or does this sound good ? Hw do I know if I'm overwatering ?

Another question: thinking of spawning a couple of cakes to coir. I know grain is better but currently I've got cakes so that's that. With cakes do I want to mix coir with verm or just go straight coir or who cares ? When I cover the coir so it can colonize can I Saran wrap over the top of the Tupperware tray ?  Do I need to do something to allow gas exchange ?  I also saved some bubble wrap I could just place over it if that would be better.

Finally here's what I don't understand: when you crumble up a brf cake don't you expose a ton of uncollnized brf/verm in the interior of the cake ? How come this part doesn't get contaminated once it's exposed ?  Is it therefore important to wait for the brf cake to consolidate for a week before crumbling the cake, or is 100% colonization an okay time to start ?  In general, ive been wondering what happens with the middle of brf cakes: is the myc on the inside or just wrapped around the outside of the cake ?
