Do these pins look ok?
    #21720128 - 05/25/15 09:20 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

Hi this is my first grow. There is a few pins that look kind of funky and dont know if it is normal or not. Here are some pics:



Here is the pinset:




I have been working on this project for just over a month now and dont want to see it take a crap at this stage lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :smile:.

Looks like over misting, so hold off on the straying. You have lots of water beads on the sides and on your substrate. Pins will look goofy if this happens. you'll still get mush though.

I havent misted once lol. Maybe i should fan more then? I have pulled the top poly out during the days for extra fae, and been fanning a few times a day as well.

Well this is my first time.....I followed damion5050 coir tek. To best of my knowledge, using the squeeze test,it was at field capacity. There has been beads of water on the sub the whole time. And there was a build up of water under the liner (which I drained using a drill bit)

If my sub is too wet should I just fan it more?  Or maybe turn the fan more towards the tub?

Fan more... I pointed a fan at one of my subs and bruised the whole damn thing.

Thanks. Ya maybe I'll stick with manually fanning. I dont know exactly what bruising entails but it doesn't sound very good.

If you are getting alot of pooling on your sub go ahead and get a paper towel and gently absorb it...

Yup...they will be fine... just gently dab it up with the corner of a folded up paper towel.

And maybe loosen your poly or remove it from the top holes... whatever works for you to get your evaporation dialed in.

Ok will do...i have had the top holes loose for the past couple days. Should there still be rings around the bottom holes or is the poly supposed to be loosened now too?

looks good to me! no need to manually fan the tub, just loosen the top poly as you did.
you wanna see small dry rings around the bottom holes but no matter how hard you stuff its hard not to have them. just make sure they arent huge so your sub surface dries up.

:goodluck:

Ok great :smile: thanks! I actually wiped the walls down with a paper towel yesterday as per a thread i found, and the walls arent wet yet (10 hours later). I have put the poly back in trying to get the humidity back up in the tub. Does this sound right to you? Or do I only go off the moisture on the sub for correct levels? (The sub still has beads on it)

the condensation on the walls may or may not come back, its dependent on your room temp.
dont take the poly in and out like that, try to find a sweet spot and keep it there,
changes takes a couple days to have effect anyway.

use the sub surface for measurement, yes!

I don't even have top holes stuffed with poly and I live in 0-20% humidity climate. Tubs are the best.

Also it's now the consensus not to dab up metabolites. It's like surface stomach acid digesting the baddies. Never once seen a contamination happen from metabolites, I've also seen pins form inside a pool of metabolites. Just saying.

I actually took my top hole poly out when you said that in my other thread Mad Season...lol. I put them in today again to try to bring up humidity....but realistically what do I know lol, first time ever. I will be removing the poly from the top holes again later on and just leaving them out. I have only misted once, today. Although I will be misting the corners of the sub once more later on today as per Mad Season again. Thanks guys

Here's the truth on fruiting. You want a relative humidity of 85-95%. The lower the better. You want the surface to have a high 99% humidity. We achieve this by stuffing the bottom holes balls tight, using casings, or keeping the surface glistening with misting. That's all you need to do.

You would rather have to mist once a day over having it too humid for there to be no evaporation. 85% humidity with 99% surface humidity will constantly evaporate which is the pinning trigger. Hope this helps :smile:

Keep it glistening with no pooling water and wait and watch. Also I never fan with the lid. I mist every so often if it's dry. Otherwise keep the top holes out to help it if it's too wet. Fanning just exchanges drier air for more evaporation after misting that's it. Not used for fae

I am still a little weary of this one pin....it has what looks like a stem growing out of the cap or something. Is this normal to see?



What are your thoughts?
