Possible contamination?
    #21849777 - 06/24/15 10:20 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

First off i want to say this is my first grow and their have been no prkblems until now. Started the inoculation process the first week of may after about a month the cakes looked all white so we took them from the incubator and dunked them for 24 hours in cool water after the 24 hours we dry rolled them in vermiculite like the guides say, after then moving them to the sgfc and are going on 3 weeks now with no pins, inside the sgfc we have about 3 inches of perlite and the temperature sits around 75-80 with humidity at about 95-100% mist and fanned a few times a day.

You didn't let them consolidate for a week after 100%?
This is generally what can cause a slow pinset, unless things start looking funky or start drying out don't change much.


I'd suggest putting your cakes in closer proximity to one another as to bump the relative humidity up a bit more. What I did when using an sgfc was had a tinfoil mat big enough for my six cakes then poked holes all around it versus many small tin foil platforms.

I don't know the climate where you live so perhaps your current sgfc setup will work, but I'd add a bit more perlite and elevate it a bit more, ~6 inches is a good height.

One final thing, having an opaque top and see through sides can cause twisting and crooked fruits, the light isn't above them anymore so they have no idea where to go, just a thought for the future.
