So i got a few healthy p.e. Cakes. Soaked em for 24 hours. Maybe been about 3 or four weeks now and no pins whatsoever. Ive read that they take a while to fruit but im not getting shit. cakes are fully colonized and healthy. i spray and keep humidity up. Room temp is around 70 to 75. Do i need to lower or higher temp wise? Like i said no mold, perfectly healthy.

You could try increasing the air flow to encourage evaporation and try a bit of artificial light on there to stimulate it too.
If that doesn't work, last ditch effort that is a debatable method, but you could also try an overnight cold shock in the fridge. DW it shouldn't kill the myc.
Again debatable whether it helps or not but some people stand by it I'm personally skeptical. But by the sounds of it you would be willing to give anything a go haha Good luck

PE variety don't fruit that well at all on cakes. You would be lucky to get some mutant blobs maybe :O

yeah I have some PE tubs that are fruiting right now.
I also have some PE cakes that aren't fruiting.
If your gonna do PE cakes, You gotta case em or something, cuz the cakes suck, for PE at least. I have some other GT cakes that are fruiting. I remember trying it before and I only got a couple blobs and one or two fruits.
bulk up and case it for best results.

have you fruited other cakes successfully? 3 weeks is appropriate for PE on a cake, but it's hard to maintain a cake for 3 weeks when you're not seeing fruits. also if you can give them sunlight for 15m a day the brightest possible

PE is a difficult nut to crack. they definitely don't fruit on cakes, and coir substrates seem to produce mutants on the first flush if you don't case it. they do love bulk straw IME. they take time to master but the potent bastards you get are well worth it. good luck

I'm actually testing out the "PE doesn't grow well on cakes" theory now. Hopefully I'll remember to post a thread when i birth the jars.
