It's been really cool to follow through your adventure Matteo. I've never messed around with corn, and just from your experience I doubt I ever will, but your most recent pictures look great. I plan to monitor this and check out they come out. Good luck to you!

Thanks for the love Green! its been an interesting experience to say the least, and trust me after these trials, ME NEITHER haha! Although I may attempt it once more if I do get a PC. I checked this morning, and the tubs look relatively rhe same, a deeper saturation in the already shown white areas, so im planning on leaving them just a tad bit longer.. I wasnt surprised that PE would take this long, but im getting antsy to b place in fruiting since itbis unknown territory for me

I bought a PC on my second real go around. I had contam on 8/12 jars and decided it was not having a PC. Next go around after I bought one, only had 1/12 contam. It was well worth the $30 investment. Also APE's are my favorite strain so far. Highest success and yield with them in my experience. I don't really pay attention to time as other growers seem too be however, so I have no comment on their slow colonizing rate.

So I found where I planned on fruiting and wanted to see what the consensus says. you can see that on the left there is a window that gets very good airflow if I have it open, enough that I can feel the wind flow through and out the room door many rimes throughout the day, as well as a small but powerful fan. would this be an overkill on FAE if thw top holes are at level with the window? also at night it can cool down toblike mid 60s, im sure that shouldnt be a problem but if it gets to cold I can just close the window during the night

No I don't have a thread going yet. I might not do it for this one, since i'm still new to the forum. But for now I'm just joining the community and learning before I contribute OC.
As far as your fruiting area goes, it sounds like it might be too much, but I can't tell. And I guess you could always dial in your tub specifically for its environment. 65 might be a little cold. I doubt it would cause problems, besides a slower growing, yet thicker fruit.

Sorry man but inoc's right, I would not hope for much. Grains need to be steam sterilized for 8 hours not 90 min. For large grains like corn 10 hours would be better. If you get some fruits you will be really lucky. Stranger things have happened but you most definitely have not done things to a T like you think you have.
