From 1 cake 2 mushrooms, then nothing, something wrong?
    #19214410 - 12/01/13 07:44 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

So I put my first cake into my shotgun terrarium. Up came two mushrooms. There were also a few little caps that came with the mushrooms when I picked them.

That was a week or two ago. No action since. I just put three more cakes in and am wondering if something is off with my setup.

I have several inches of perlite that I mist every couple days. I also have a humidifier sitting near the terrarium to keep the surrounding air relatively humid. The humidity in the terrarium was about 95% in the beginning and now hovers around 80-85%. I also have an overhead light (5500K I think) that is on a 12 hr/12 hr timer.

How often do you mist/fan the cakes?

I mist them every 3/4 days. I don't fan them as my impression is the wholes in my shotgun terrarium take care of air circulation.

You need to be misting them more....like at least 2 times a day.

Mist them directly with a very fine mist until they glisten, then fan out the chamber.

We mist the cakes to replace lost moisture, we fan out the chamber to make room for evaporation to take place, which is a main pinning trigger.

My impression was that the moistened perlite made it so I didn't have to mist the cakes daily. I'd really like to not have to do that.

Don't forget to tell him about reclaiming perlite moisture.

Even with proper care, you need to remove, moisten, and replace the perlite at least once maybe twice a month.

I'm assuming you dunked and rolled your cakes...?
If so, then try dunking the cake you picked for 24hrs, roll again and put back.

Other than that patience
and rock on :rockon:

If you live in a desert climate sure, but not if your RH is usually 40% or above....daily misting should take care of this.

If the perlite is drying out, just mist the shit out of it.

Then move to bulk in monotubs....cakes require attention.
