To the op pretty much everything said is right on the spot.

You can still dunk and roll even now, and I would if I were you.
Dunk cakes in cold tapwater for 12-24 hours then roll them in vermiculite. Wait to spray them for a few hours or you'll just spray the verm off of the cakes.

Put the cakes on something like foil or jar lids. The mycellium will grow into the perlite (no good)

Put holes 1/4 inch holes in a 2x2inch grid pattern on all six sides. Make sure your SGFC is elevated at least 6 inches(not 1 like someone said above) from the ground.

For shits and giggles I made two cakes from clone tissue and didn't dunk or roll one of them while the other got dunked and rolled. The one that didn't get dunked and rolled hardly did anything the one that did get dunked and rolled performed WAY better. Though not using an isolated genetic strain the results were dramatic with the clone genetics between the two cakes.

As for misting and fanning. Mist when the cakes no longer look wet/glistening. Mist them directly until they do and then fan right after to evacuate the 95-100% humid air (making room for evaporation to happen) You should have to do this 3-5 times a day on average.

So put holes in all the sides, elevate it, dunk your cakes, roll your cakes, and then post some new pictures.




Thanks to everyone! You're all so helpful, and I'm very grateful. I just dunked my 12 cakes, tomorrow night I will roll them and put them in my fruiting chamber which will be elevated and have holes on all six sides, and then I'll post updated photos.

Thanks again!!!

I still say, wait on dunk and roll until after the current pins have matured. Personal preference i guess. To each his own.
Edit just saw that you have already done this.

Ok, I have finished the dunk and roll, I have added more perlite, I have drilled more holes and in all six sides, and I have elevated my terrarium roughly four inches off the ground. By the way, some of the cakes were slightly blue after the dunk and roll, but I guess that's just natural bruising? No green or bad smells whatsoever. What does everyone think? Anything else I could/should do? Any other recommendations or observations?

Thanks again for all the great advice!

I would raise that FC up at least three feet from the grounds surface. Nastiest of contams hover at ground level.

The higher the better but at least it's not on the floor anymore I personally think the 4 inches is fine I always say shoot for at least 6. I say you're golden there's plenty of contams in open air anyway, but yes more by the floor. I would maybe try to even out the perlite more so it's uniformly flat but everything looks way better than it did. You should be getting good results soon. The bluing is normal

Thanks guys! Actually, the FC is raised about 4 inches off of the surface of a desk, not the ground, so it is not at the ground level at all. :smile:

My guess - I'm a newbie - but here goes.

Might have something to do with excessive FAE while still in the jars. Most in vitro pins seem to occur on the bottom. Could be bottom pinning was triggered while in the jars (but went undetected because they were mere hyphal knots/primordia when you birthed.
