They look dry...tha cap is dried up because their not getting sufficient moisture...also enough air exchange... Do you fan and mist 2 a day?..now are they getting air exchange.. Through holes? Or what.. .


What was your ratio for BRF:vermiculight:water?


I'm guessing the substrate is dried out.. Or humidity is whack.


Keep the humidity at 90 percent, the temperature around 70-75... Don't go past 80 if you can.
Fan and mist 2 times a day..

there are no holes, this is a growkit, so they just told us to leave it in the sack... add no water and just leave it for a few weeks... i've been told that's wrong and i should fan and mist, i mist once a day and fan... well never done it, took it out twice

You should fan and mist. The problem with growkits is that the makers want to make growing sound extremely easy with little or no attention. If you want that get a sclerotia growkit (philiosophers stones). Or better yet read up how to do it yourself as its far cheaper.

Homebrew beer kits suffer the same problem, on homebrew sites its common to see experienced brewers say "step 1, throw out the instructions, they are far from optimal".

So I've been crafting something up right here real fast... i saw this on the forum some days ago, a "shotgun fruiting chamber" or something like that, i will be able to fan and mist right ? I'll add some photo's in let me know if i put the mushrooms in the fruiting chamber or just leave in the bag ?

Oh boy..

If you have time, lost a picture of your "kit"

... You probably over paid big time for supplies that would have costed about 30 dollars tops.

when i first started I wanted a grow kit too, but you'll realize how ridicoulous they really are. Plus now that a mushroom grow kit is not only on your bank statment, but shipped to your house, I'd be a little cautious about growing.. But I'm sure you'll be fine..

Looks like your ahead of me here.. I really didn't expect a spawn bag lol..most of those kits are full of useless supplies.. That looks fairly simple.

Yes follow the SGFC teks throughly land transfer the cake from the bag to the SGFC.. Fan and mist.. Keep it 2 inches of the ground away from walls yada yada.. Look up the tek :wink:

YOu could just cut a hole in that bag and run some polyfill thru it. MIst the sides when it looks dry. Fanning is great but you can improvise with a filter.

YOur bag is missing a filter patch otherwise it be good to set and leave

Why not mist the cake if it looks dry? The sides of the chamber are not important, but pins from the cake are, and they form from evaporation.....

That's good, because a SGFC does not utilize polyfill......

I think the white stripes on the side are filters. But if they are anything like the filters on my autoclave bags they let fuck all air through, so your advice of making filters probably still holds

Id assume if your misting the sides It would get to the cake as well.

The idea is to keep water droplets on the side of the bag. like this:thumbup:

Water droplets along with the plastic provides a moist artificial layer along with the right amount of fresh air for perfect pinning and fruiting conditions. Kind of like an artificial casing layer

That's my opinion

Lol that's an opinion. Pussyfart has explained that water evaporation causes fruits to grow,
Widely accepted fact. Not tying to be mean. But newbies need guidence.. Not misinformation. And you've been here a really long time.

The microclimate at "substrate level" is what matters, not at the walls of the FC....moisture on the walls of the FC do not benefit the substrate at all.....

Casing layers go on top of the substrate, to provide a better microclimate at "substrate level"....not at the walls.

yeah I know ive been here a long time.

Ive also grown outdoors quite a bit. And I know that if you stick a sub outside. It may or may not grow depending on the environment.

But if you stick a piece of plastic over it and mist the shit out of it it will grow.

And not just a little bit, it will flush out like if it were indoor or better.

Idk the exact science but im sure it doesn't just have to do with evaporation. Its just not that black and white

That's because outside it's getting a shit tone of FAE......and the plastic holds in some humidity......like a dome.....

Your saying microclimate like it differs greatly from the rest of the environment inside mono or bag. Im sorry it just cant be that much difference in such s a small environment.:shrug: I just don't get it

I cant tell, but if there is mycelium growing it has prolly stalled. The only thing I could say to do if that is the case is take a piece of stalled mycelium and either transfer to agar. In that case you could clean it of any contams than save that for a master if you wish, or try and transfer straight to grain. But that could result in contams. Good luck man -Kushroom
