Questions about my SGFC and cakes
    #21624998 - 05/02/15 07:08 AM (9 years, 18 days ago)

Just wondering if anyone could tell me if my set up is ok or do I need more perlite in the bottom?
The cakes are only pinning on the bottom so would more perlite prevent this in the future?

You definitely want more perlite.  5-6 inch deep is best. 

Make sure whatever you have the SGFC propped up on still allows lots of airflow through the bottom holes as well.

Looking good otherwise.

Make sure there are holes on bottom as well. I only say that because I feel like your Sgfc is sitting on another tote?

Cheers for your help! How does this look now? Should the extra perlite prevent the bottom pinning?

Why are you so worried about bottom pinning? Mushrooms in the wild grow out from under the ground...it isn't a big deal to have pins at the base of your cakes

Mainly because they are underneath the cake and I am concerned that they will abort or not be able to grow out from underneath. I had a drama on my last lot where all the pins on the under side just stopped growing and ended up rotting.
