SHROOMS WONT FRUIT! Is this a suitable lamp?
    #19370200 - 01/04/14 08:36 PM (10 years, 26 days ago)

My last hope on why my brf cakes havent fruited after  5+ weeks is because of the wrong light, can't figure it out, anyone know how to tell ?
Here is my set up....
Temps are good, humidity 80-95
on hyrdo rocks instead of perlite
already dunked in water second time to try to pin

WHY?!

Can I crumble up the cakes and see what happens that way?

You should take a picture of the writing OK the bulb itself.
Cubes can fruit in total darkness so the light may not be an issue.
It looks like you used the tall 1/2 pint jars, which take longer to colonize and thus fruit, if you didn't consolidate.
Another option could be contams.

if your not seeing any condensation on your walls, and no don't crumble the more you mess with them the farther back you set yourself just make sure it's hydrated and gettting good fresh air exchange, you may wanna pile some moist verm on top those are pretty big cakes

:thumbup: the fan is after every mist to promote evaportion off the mist you just gave and get the humid stalish air out

Fanning promotes evaporation off the substrate which is one of the main pinning triggers.

You're setup is holding humidity great because you don't have enough perlite in there to create a dynamic air flow.  The air is stale and stagnant.  Those rocks aren't really doing anything.  You should have them in a larger chamber with 5 inches of sifted, wet perlite.  The chamber I've just described actually creates it's own air flow where as the setup you have now is at the mercy of the natural air currents in the room. Your light should be fine as long as it's a bulb in the 6500K spectrum (the bulb package usually says 'daylight' on it)

You need to create a proper SGFC and then mist and fan as needed.

Fresh air and evaporation of moisture off the cakes are the number one pinning triggers.

evaporation and fresh air are big pinning triggers. Give them more FAE and give it some time if nothing has happened after a week or so then you might consider throwing in the towel. At least try it before you give up completely.

I tend to agree but I'm the kind of guy that doesn't like to throw shit away on assumption.

He's seen no new growth and that's not good.

But I feel like he should have seen SOMETHING from the cakes if they were contaminated.  A bad smell, bubbles oozing, aerial mycelium growth just... anything.

Could just be stalled myc I guess but I really don't have enough experience to say :mad:  Regardless, either right now or on your next grow, change up the chamber, the environment you have created is not ideal.
