First Time... how am I doing?
    #20277734 - 07/15/14 05:24 PM (10 years, 6 months ago)

whelp this is my first time attempting a grow, and here's what's happened. I birthed the cakes shortly after full colonization (probably my first mistake), and now, a week later, the cakes are showing no signs of pinning, or primordia. Also, I recently drilled holes in my container in hopes of improving gas exchange (which was somewhat poor). Anybody have any suggestions? Especially in regard to how frequently I should be misting/fanning. The temperature has been constantly around 74, and the humidity has been above 95% (hopefully).

Here's some pics for your approval

you just have to copy and paste the links into your browser. Also, yeah that's kind of what I ended up doing, but I only put the wholes near the bottom, so that the co2 could escape without losing too much moisture/oxygen.

don't worry about the co2 moisture and oxygen just get the holes done right and all of that is taken care of

This was a mistake. You need holes on all 6 sides.
