8 Days and no pinning?
    #21846670 - 06/23/15 04:25 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

So I placed my Ecuador BRF cake into my SGFC one week ago and I do not see any pins. Two days ago I placed a fan 4 ft away from it to get more FAE because it is in a closet. It now has a quarter sized blue tint spot on it. I think that is from it drying out because of the fan(I turned the fan off today). I mist and fan it with the lid three times a day. I also have a large SGFC for just one brf cake, maybe the humidity isn't high enough although I do have some aerial mycelium.  I dunk and rolled the cake for 22 hours before I placed it into the chamber. How do I make it pin? ANY IDEAS?? I want to have mushrooms before the 4th of July. here are some pics







p.s the jars sitting next to the chamber on their 9th week of colonization.

Patience. I'd trim down the foil to be just a little bigger than the cake. Otherwise it looks good to me. Sometimes it can take a couple of weeks. Keep doing what you're doing. Once it begins to pin, the growth will be rapid :jah: I find it helpful to let the cake dry out a tad, nothing drastic, just make sure the cake doesn't have a pool of water on it.

10 to 14 days normally before I see pins, you will be close to the 4th. Just relax nothing to do but let them do their thing

My 6 PF cakes performed the best in an empty, unmodified 15qt tote.  Beautiful fruiting.  FAE is basically a 0 concern with that little mycellial mass.  Keep it humid and be patient.  Misting it that much is probably not needed and possibly counterproductive if the surface is too wet.


--------------------


I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister.  I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave.  I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent.
Triggered yet?

Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."


No, this does not look right...

remove the fan and get the sgfc in the middle of a room, not close to the walls.

Good.  You are correct. 


Looks like about 4-5" of perlite there?  If you have more, add another 1-2".  5-6" is optimum.

Agreed, if humidity is optimum, do not mist that much.  When you have an SGFC dialed in correctly it requires very little fanning and misting. 

It can take as much as 10-14 days to see pins.

That is way too long for a colonization time.

You wanna know why that jar is taking so long? Its because its those shitty outgrow pre made brf jars with the bunk ass gas exchange filter.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRF-Jars-Brown-Rice-Flour-Based-Mushroom-Substrate-/171411251207?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27e8e82007

Don't buy those jars just make your own its way easier, and they won't shit all over you.
