update on my grow :) teachers and b+ . sgfc
    #19435650 - 01/17/14 11:13 PM (11 years, 1 day ago)



these were all birthed at different times. a couple here and a couple there every 3-4 days or so for the past 2 weeks. all the "regular" looking 1/2 pint cakes you see are B+. the shorter ones are golden teachers. i experimented with the dunking and rolling teks. only 2 are dunked and rolled. 2 others as you can see just have verm spread over the top of the cake. and 2 others (not sure which ones anymore... one of the ones with no verm) werent even dunked.  right now im relying on indirect sunlight as well as leaving the light on in the room where they are. ive been maintaining a temp of 70-72f, and 98% rh, but only due to heating pads underneath. i also know my holes are too small. didnt have a drill handy. i melted them with a screwdriver and made close to double the amount of holes. still no pins. ive been fanning 4-5 times per day average.

theres about 2 1/2 to 3 inches of perlite. what im worried about is that im covering the bottom holes with the heating pads to keep the temp up past 70.

heating pads are not a very great idea, i'd imagine it will dry out your perlite and cause alot of condensation

thanks for the input. i cant afford to heat the house that much. you think ill still be fine and just have to wait longer for fruits if i remove the heating pads? i dont mind waiting longer, i just want my babies to have everything they need given the circumstances.

What's the lowest temperature it gets where you are trying to fruit?

a small and I mean small fan powered heater wal-mart has great ones for 14$, They work great if your not opening/ leaving open doors I wouldn't put it right on the FC though.
I think its far easier to spawn to bulk and do Dub Tubs IMO. We all must start somewhere. We must crawl before we can walk.

thank you so much for your input mr brown :smile: you are correct in that i am indeed crawling. this is my second attempt. let me make this quick. i built a "scfg" not exactly according to the tek. i didnt have a drill or 1/4 inch bit so i used a screwdriver to melt holes in it. theyre about 1/8 inch, but i compensated by doubling the amount of holes. my cakes are now starting to bruise (im thinking due to dehydration). ive only started misting (and fanning) regularly for the past 2 days. i had  been keeping heating pads underneath the sgfc for the first week they were in there at certain times to keep the temp up. i took the heating pads off 2 days ago after i noticed major bruising on several of my cakes. i know the holes on the bottom are supposed to have space under them to let air come in, and i know that the general rule is to "FOLLOW THE FUCKING TEK!" lol :smile: but im receiving pressure from outside sources to put the heating pads underneath. i know im doing shit wrong on some front. my outside source thinks i should just crumble em up and bulk to spawn in a monotub. i think it might be too late for that ( risking contamination). im open to suggestions at this point, and ive done ALOT of reading on different teks.

Keep the heating pad but prop the SGFC up on some jars or something so you still get airflow through the bottom.

You're fanning and misting?

Because he stated he can't afford to heat up the whole house. It's better than being around 62.

Says who?

Heating the chamber is never a good idea.

And 62F is just fine for fruiting.

It's not really only heating the chamber if it's elevated above it. Worst case scenario he'll get a little condensation. Not the end of the world.

Oh my! You're getting close,, so keep your head up, and quit trying to rush it.
Seriously friend, trust the tek. If you didn't do it according to the tek, it's not a sgfc,, it's a plastic bin with holes in it that you're using to torture a very beautiful living organism. :smile:

Tell your "outside source" it's you're project, not his, and keep doing your own research. You're clearly pretty well read on the subject and you've come so far! (You're right, crumbling your cakes at this point would be an extremely bad idea. Tell him the people at the forums were disappointed in him for that recommendation.)

Anywho, what is your RH at now that you don't have the heat pad?

Keep in mind that the area of a 1/8 hole is not half of the area of 1/4th hole, so you're definitely not getting enough FAE. It'd actually take 4 times as many holes.  But drilling more 1/8th holes will probably not solve all of your problems, because if you're not fanning regularly, 3/8th's is probably a better way to go. seriously,, go find a drill,,,, now, no, not later,, go do it right now. :smile:
The bruising is probably because they're dry, not getting enough oxygen or because they have been getting soaked when misting. If you mist without FAE, the water won't evaporate, it'll just make everything soggy. Always fan after misting,, do it till your arms start to get tired. If the cakes are still soaked from misting/fanning before, just fan.
They are going to hate drowning, drying out, and suffocating a lot more than they're going to hate low 60's. in fact,, IME the colder they are while they're growing, the strong and more potent they are. It takes longer(sometimes quite a bit longer), but you know it'd be better to get strong potent shrooms, than dead blue cakes. :smile:

some of the blueing cakes may be the ones u did not dunk also, just an idea.  i also agree with mb420, try bulk coir next if this goes well, u can even use brf cakes instead of grains if u don't have a pc.  and try dunking all of them next time, IMO its past being an "experimental tek" where results are inconclusive.
good luck!
