Am I on the right track? (waiting for pins to form)
    #20560972 - 09/13/14 04:43 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Hey guys, I'm still kinda new at this so any advice would be well appreciated. :smile: 
I inoculated some rye grains and put. Them in a case and cased it with 100% peat Moss and a sprinkled a touch of perlite and hydrated lime. I then waited and patched till it to colonized to the first picture, and I moved the case to my terrarium.

I fan my terrarium quite often,  couple times per hour, it's at a 90-95% humidity and I have a lamp directly shining on the terrarium during day time. I have a problem with Temps though, the climate I live in allows a high temp 82-85f. It's been in the terrarium for about 5 days now and the the last two photos are how it is now.. There is a little blue bruising on the side.. Should I be worried? I observers tons of the little hypnal knots I was supposed to see but nothing that resembles a mushroom. .. The casing seems to be have too much growth on it.. Is it overlay? :/ thanks again for any help! :smile:

Hey, bud.  Sorry to break it to you, but you don't have a single hyphal knot that I can see.  I think what you're looking at is actually aerial mycelium, most likely due to the construction of your terrarium.  While you're doing a good job of fanning, it isn't nearly enough air to promote pinning.  You should really turn that tub into a shotgun fruiting chamber by drilling a whole bunch of holes in it and elevating it off the floor by a few inches.  Passive airflow designs are the way to go.

You will never see overlay.  It's terrifying and looks like bat skin and you'd be on here asking us wtf is wrong if you had it.  :grin: 



The above pic, compliments of ghiajake, is the only photographic evidence I've ever seen of its existence.  It's pretty much the bigfoot of cultivation.

i have put a bunch of holes in the sides, slapping micropore tape over all the holes, you think it could breath?
So what could I do to remedy the situation? is the whole thing f***ed? :frown:
heres more close up pictures.

so is it a tray of cased grains or were the grains mixed with a bulk sub, colonized, and then cased?

sometimes the terminology gets confusing, what you have there is a tray, either of cased grains or cased bulk sub

cased grains it is. in the future you should try mixing your grains with coir/verm. it provides nutrition and alot more water. but for now def get your tray some fresh air. its very important for cubes

Never say never, he might someday.

Wow that looks hella fucked up though, lol what is overlay? fungus? or a genetic malfunction

That looks more like rhizomorphic (a good thing) than aerial mycelium. Though I am fairly new I thought aerial mycelium looked whispy and cottony, not rhizomorphic. Rhizo is a sign of healthy mycelium with a strong cell structure if I am not mistaken. OP, just give it some more time. I do not think it is fucked. Actually, it looks pretty normal to me.

It stops being normal rhizomorphic growth when it reaches into the air.  Plus we know his FAE is low, because look at his fruiting chamber.

So to be clear, Ariel mycellium is bad? It's a sign that the FC needs more FEA?

yup. not that its bad per se but its a symptom of bad conditions and you likely wont get pins or at least not a good pinset until it is fixed

Okay, I put holes on the sides as with the shotgun terrarium and put it on my table, will be updating with photos!

Yes, drill 1/4" holes all over 2" apart in a grid. When you get fresh air the mycelium will form the hyphal knots and pin, probably within a few days. Your tray looks good. Make sure you use one of the 6500k bulbs everyone talks about.

Ok... thanks for clearing that up for me. I know of the different types of mycelium, but was not aware it changes once exposed to the air. I just learned something new. I appreciate it.

Sure thing.  But it's not just that it's exposed to air--it's that it's lifting off the surface of the substrate in an attempt to maximize its exposure to air so it can get the oxygen it wants.  How's the shotgun fruiting chamber coming along?

Good, put holes in all the sides and waiting for results..
Any thoughts on misting? I think my casing layer is too dry.. how will I know if it's time to mist?

It's pretty easy, actually.  Adhere to your regular fanning schedule, and whenever you fan examine the surface for visible moisture.  If it's there, don't mist.  If it isn't there, do mist.  :smile:

Not trying to jack the thread. You must be thinking of the OP or someone else. I've had a SGFC for a long time now...lol. Actually just able to do monos again after a bad sporulated trich infestation.  :uhoh:
