help with second flush please
    #21899266 - 07/05/15 12:26 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

alright so here is kinda what i am facing. After colonizing 10 500ml jars ( yes i know too big i have new jars for next time) i put them in the terrarium crafted from the "lets grow mushrooms" video's. Pictures will be posted.

The mistakes i made

1. trusted cheap hygrometer
2. taped up holes in terrarium not understanding air flow
3. I have a medical condition and sometimes i get too sick to spray it

So i have fixed the first two mistakes but the third is not fixable i am afraid. The cakes looked good out of the jar. The 500ml jar cake broke in half essentially forming 2 250ml cakes. I dunked for 24 hours then rolled in verm and set in terrarium.

now its two weeks later and i havn't gotten anything resembling a pin. Just lots of mycilium growth on the cake... which according to my research means the humidity is too low. I believe this happened for two reasons. 1. my being too sick to spray lowered humidity 2. I live in the far north and we have pretty dry air around here.

I am working on getting a humidifier which i hope will help alot. Any other suggestions that might help would be very appreciated. Perhaps an easy cheap way to automate the spraying would be great for me because of my medical condition.

So now i have these two cakes sitting my the terrarium and im wondering should i take them and dunk them again for 24 hours? try a second flush and hopefully my health will be better to keep spraying. Or because no pins formed can that mean that the next flush is wrecked for some reason?

Thanks guys! Love the site.. its a very fun hobby

They need oxygen to grow try misting and fanning afterwards is your temps right and lighting?  If your getting alot of aerial mycellium growth it can be from oxygen starvation. Also ive had cakes that took nearly 3 weeks before i even saw pins dont give up hope just do what you do and make sure you mist and keep that humidity up dont let them dry out you should be fine. Just be patient when you feel like all hope has been lost you might just see your first pop out

Yeah you need to be misting & fanning to promote evaporation on the surface; in which gives you pins.

Also whats your relative humidity?
