Deep breaths, you are doing fine. My first cakes didn't fruit at all haha. :thumbup: Don't forget to make sure the tub is elevated so air can flow freely through the bottom holes too. (Please tell me you put bottom holes in!)

are you sure these tiny needle holes are 1/8 of an inch? they dont even seem to be 1/10 of a cm..

1/4" = 0,63 cm. Just making sure that you do it right this time and havent messed up on cm/mm/inches..

It isn't the hole size, it's the spacing. Those aren't 2" on centre.

Oh and what does your lid look like? Is it clear?

it does look a bit off, yeah, but I'd be more worried about the size than a perfect grid.
although the right side seems to be quite a bit off (50% or so) (check height vs length)

There's nothing electrical going on inside.. just a wire to measure temp. That's it. Otherwise that temp wire leads to a microelectronic that turns on heating or cooling withing .5 C of 26.0 C..


And they are all 1/4 - but I am did a somewhat sloppy job of hole placement. I did my best.. I believe it should be fine, I hope it is, but I could be wrong.

sounds like electrical crap to me :shrug: you should get rid of it.
and is that a heating pad under your jars?

Forget the placement crap for now..when making a new SGFC use a fine sharpie or something to draw out the grid as most do (I didn't but it helps)...for current setup it looks very good and much improvement for the earlier very small holes. The new setup should allow for much more FAE and ease..the air currents will all be correct and RH will be very high from air drawing up through the moist perlite. More FAE with optimum moisture yields larger caps to stems, than when having little FAE where caps can be very minuscule with a ropey like stem that seems lengthy. Good luck.:thumbup:

I ASSURE you nothing electrical inside the SGFC - There is a seedling heating mat a foot below the actual container.. it's on passive heating at 70 F that allows a little heat to rise when needed. Helps compensate when mushrooms are sprayed for humidity... temp drops heating pack kicks..

I also have an infrared light hitting the wall of the closet to allow the space to be warmer when the SGFC goes below 26C - However light is not directly on the box or pointing towards it....

Beyond all else.. before I did all this wiring and custom heating solutions I was not getting growth at all - house and area of grow is too cold... needed heat, but knew that I'd dry'm out if I used direct heat.. so , I don't. ....


Edit:


How having seen my setup and my shoomies.. should I start cutting off and hope for better yield in next flush? I ask because many of them have dropped their veil.. or should I continue to let them grow for some days? What's next? And when I am ready for next cycle.. do I dunk prior to for 24h?

None of this makes any sense....you should never want or need to heat a fruiting chamber, and it certainly does not compensate for anything when we mist....that is just silly....heat the room not the FC...heating the FC will rob it of humidity, not give it more.

:whathesaid:

you create a temperature gradient that sucks moisture away from your substrate. heat the whole room

There is no way to do that besides pointing a heating lamp at the wall and warming the entire closet... I've since then removed the heating mat. And I check humidity constantly - always at 89% - 95% Even with seed mat a foot below the SGFC - Now only heat lamp pointing at all. I will have to bear with this until spring hits.. otherwise the closet drops to 18c or lower...


Still I have questions.

What should I do - cut off the ones with broken veil (most of them), or wait for all cats to fruit fully?
