How does my SGFC look?
    #21778745 - 06/08/15 01:13 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

This is my second grow, my first one my cakes dried up I believe and I only harvested about 4-5 mushrooms on only 2 of 8 cakes I had in there, I'm not sure why they dried up (not enough perlite? Not enough misting?) But here is my set up now, using the same chamber I used last time and the same perlite (after boiling).
How does it look? Would the indirect light from the window be enough?


On another note, I have 7 jars that all appear to be 100% and only one of them is pinning invitro. Should I go ahead and birth all of them or wait until they all invitro?

Thanks!

Looks like you might need a few more inches of perlite from the picture.

By that logic I probably need to add additional perlite to mine as well - I tossed the old perlite after it started turning orange for whatever reason.

It looks pretty good, but I would suggest adding more holes near the top of the tub and definitely adding more perlite to maintain high humidity levels. The indirect lighting from the window will work fine. I personally have always fruited my tubs near a window and have had excellent results. Grow lights are optional IMO.

Well I guess the verdict is in, I need to grab some more perlite :blush:. What do you guys think, double the amount that's in there now, would that be ok? Is there such a thing as too much perlite?

4.5-5"...will be good... and lift it up a bit higher...your gonna want at least 6" of clearance on all sides...it looks good besides that... another row of holes towards the top couldn't hurt either.also I suppose it'd be beneficial to ask if you have holes in the lid and the bottom.

Yes, holes are in the lid as well as the bottom of the chamber.

I'm back with an improved fruiting chamber, as well as newly birthed cakes! Everything check out?
