PFTek First Timer Few Questions
    #19049093 - 10/28/13 09:42 PM (11 years, 2 months ago)

Hello all i have been on the shroomery reading for about a year now i have had one successful grow and im on my 2nd now i got 3 jars 2 cambodians and one z- strain once fully colonized i waited 6 days to put in my sgfc it is usually about 85% humidity i cant seem to get it higher im thinking about making a PMP and transfering them to that. oh and the temp is usually about 70-74 degrees it is kinda cold in my aprtment

my first question is my z-strain is now turning blueish from what i have read it is briusing but i have handled with care and i did NOT dunk and roll im thinking the cake could possibly be dehydrated could anyone possibly confirm or deny?

The other 2 cakes are also turning blue but not as much as the z strain im thinking same thing.

also could someone point me to a good direction for a PMP.

Thanks in advance,
  TrippyShroom

You need to dunk and roll your cakes for best results. Forget about the pmp. They don't work well. Just use a sgfc

Btw if you have a properly constructed sgfc then I guarantee you that your humidity is higher than 85 percent. You just have a pos hygrometer

ive got a terrarium with the dial thermo/humidity meters for reptiles and such, got it from petco too lol.

anyways i have i guess about a 35 or so gallon tank, and im using about an inch, maybe one and a quarter inch of perlite.
i put almost 32 oz of water in it and it was at 98 a few hours after, and about 40 hours it was at like 92.

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.

Whenever our ethnic or national prejudices are aroused, in times of scarcity, during challenges to national self-esteem or nerve, when we agonize about our diminished cosmic place and purpose, or when fanaticism is bubbling up around us-then, habits of thought familiar from ages past reach for the controls. The candle flame gutters. Its little pool of light trembles. Darkness gathers. The demons begin to stir.

You need 4 to 5 inches of perlite and 1/4 inch holes every 2 inches apart in a grid pattern on all 6 sides. It needs to be elevated a few inches so air can circulate underneath. Set a cup or jar under all 4 corners to elevate it

It's not too late to dunk and roll. Go ahead

Throw that hygrometer in the trash. I know the one your talking about. It's worthless. You don't need one but if you must have one get a good analog one that you can calibrate. Wrap it in a wet towel and leave it for a hour or 2. Then pull it out and set the needle to 100 percent with the calibration screw.

Dunk for 24 hours. Cakes are dense and take a long time to soak up water

Most cigar shops sell good hygrometers but like I said you don't need one. Just trust in the Almighty SGFC :lol:
