Some of the cakes are not pinning, what can I do?
    #19322866 - 12/24/13 07:46 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Hello all,

I recently got back into this beautiful hobby after 3 successful grows using cakes as they are and also casing them.

Now, I have 18 cakes (9 double stacked), and only 2 of them produced fruits.  I suspect I'm not having the right kind of climate in the winter, and I cannot afford having the heating in my room on all the time. So the temperature varies between 16-21C (60-70F). Also the light is not a proper 12/12. Plus, I open my window 2x a day to get some fresh (but cold) air, which surely isnt doing good for the babies.

However two of the double stacked cakes have a small-mediumish amount of fruit, though they are short and thick stemmed (any reason for that?). It's not a lot but I'd be super-happy if all of the cakes had the same amount. However, after almost 2 weeks in the FC, all the other ones have absolutely no sign of pinning. Is there anything I could still do with them? Should I crumble them and put a coco/verm layer on top?

Any suggestions and opinions are welcomed.
Much love for everyone here.

the climate that matters is in your fc

those temps are fine and so are temp fluctuations

light being 12/12 is ideal but not a deal breaker, they don't get perfect 12/12 by nature

genetics and available moisture, no worries
