Is this tray near fruiting?
    #19227686 - 12/04/13 04:43 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Hi All,

I have a Costa Rica tray that has been in fc for 8 days now. After a 2hr dunk on day 1, the substrate broke on me:facepalm:so I rearranged it back into the tray, and gave it a thin 1/4  inch casing,to aide it while it recovers. I employ the BW Tek, and RH in my sgfc is usually around 90%, and Temperature between 77 and 80 °F.

Below are some pics of the tray and the substrate surface. I would simply like some opinions on what it's looking like and if it might fruit soon?

Much thanks in advance:cheers:

I don't mean to bump, but there are two important questions I left out:

1. There is a lot of conflict regarding misting or not misting the trays every now and then "to replace lost moisture". I understand that evaporation is a huge primary pinning trigger, but would a direct mist every now and then - when the substrate's surface looks dry - be beneficial in aiding evaporation prior to fanning, or would it simply damage the delicate knotting process?

2. Is the yellowing on the surface normal/fine, as can be witnessed (from above) in the 2nd pic?

Have a super day!:mushroom2:

Personally, i would have  put that casing into fruiting  when the surface had 10% myc poking through.. and mist the hell out of it.. that what i did recently with my first casing. I let it recolonize for like 3 days after making it, misted it real good and put it in the fruiting cjamber and the next day it was knotting like crazy.. and the day after had hundreds of pins

After dunking the bulk tray, I cased it and Díd put it into fruiting conditions,  with a bubble wrap square placed over the casing. The Casing was 50% Rooibos mulch, and 50% Vermiculite. Added a teaspoon of hydrated lime (CaOH2) and 10% of total weight's worth of gypsum. I never left the tray to consolidate, so perhaps that is part of the reason why it hasn't started pinning on day 10 yet. :rolleyes:

The tray started to fruit! 1st pin, unfortunately on the side of the substrate between it and the tinfoil tray. Which really doesn't make sense...:crazy:

After giving the tray a 2nd dunk yesterday (10 days after its 1st dunk, I noticed how white, rizomorphic and strong the underside looked, especially in the middel where a hole was in the substrate. I'd appreciate some pro advice on if it might be a good idea to flip it and try and fruit the underside?

Cheers!

Okay, so the tray happened to pin quite well for a Contact Rica, yielding 28 grams of cracker dry fruits.



Boom! :cookiemonster:

I picked the flush within 48 hours, most cut off at the base. Thereafter I left the tray to "rest" for 6 days in an empty and unsealed monotub.

I then gave it a good rinse and a 20 hour dunk, thereafter rinsing it again and strained off excess water.

Now with the tray in back in the sgfc, I am in a quandary whether I should pasteurize some fresh casing, scrape a thin layer off the previous one and apply a fresh thin 1/4" layer or leave it as it with a bubble wrap layer on top???

Here is a pic of the tray currently back in the sgfc.



Regards,
Rf

Dont scrape anything and bw would give a perfect micro climate for any mold spores that may be present

Thanks for all the speedy responses man! :cheers:

So far BW had helped me numerous of times when I struggle with maintaing the perfect conditions in my sgfc.

So no scraping of the old casing layer, but apply a new thin layer?

If you use bw it should be done from the start but seems pointless seeing as you have a true casing layer.
as for recasing i dont do it i may patch if i rip the sub up but as long as you keep up with your misting you will have 100% humidity on the surface of your sub

You should get those nasty blobs of stem bases off of it, they are rotting.

Shot! Thanks Cronicr:stoned:

I also thought like they would do more bad than good, but when people cut at the base so not to divot up the surface, then don't they leave the remaining bases on the surface? Just curious:evil:

I always cut. The stems don't ever rot they remain "live" matter and get covered in myc and have pins growing off them :shrug:

Hey Blojo, I live in South Africa, and here we have Camel Black and Camel White, along with Activate, Plain, Filter, Mild, Lights and One.

I Enjoy Camel Black, it is much like Camel Mild but a tad smoother and stronger. I also think it replaced the Camel Natural we had some time ago. It is also rather cheap here, works out to about $2.50 a packet :ganja:
