Quick Question:

By leaving the central AC fan setting to "on" (versus "auto"), could this help with FAE in any way? And possibly even help increase and/or retain humidity?

Note:
Keep in mind that I do have to keep the door to my small cultivation room/study closed at all times due to feline saboteurs, which, I imagine, is certainly restricted the air flow to this room.

I'd say about 11' X 11'. So I should be fine to leave it on?

Also, there's only one floor vent in the room.

You can try rigging up a subsonic air pump for a fish tank. Worked very well don't have to worry about FaR so much as fresh air is being pumped it. Also helps with humidity as your not having to open tub as much. Justadvicve from past experiences.

I think a lot of people here would advise against that.. a proper SGFC doesn't need an ultrasonic.. automation will get you flamed... it's easier, cheaper, and more efficient than spendy electronics to just drill some holes in a tub and stuff with polyfil... you're doing fine as is. tweaking things won't help.. considering OP is a first timer I doubt he has the knowledge to make a better fruiting environment than a tried and true method that was developed over years... just stick to your schedule and you'll be fine! :thumbup:

Like a said just advise from past experiences. Everyone can agree everyone has there on methods and results. It's your tub, it comes down to what you find that works best for you and your mushies. It's all trial and error.

UPDATE 8.16.15

Well, fellow cultivators, it's been nearly two weeks since I introduced my five BRF cakes into the SGFC. My two B+ cakes seem to be faring pretty well and seem as though they might be ready to be harvest within the next few days, but I'm a bit concerned about my other four cakes (Creeper, Cambodian, & Escondido)

As you can see in the pictures, my two B+ cakes (in the back) seem to be maturing at a more-or-less reasonable rate. On the other hand, my Creeper, Cambodian, & Escondido BRF cakes are growing at a much, much slower rate; though, as you can see, they possess many more pins. Which leads to my question: What should I do?

It seems logical that the more pins a cake possesses, the longer they will take to mature, but should it really be taking this long? As I said, they've all been in the SGFC for nearly two week... Do they look healthy? If so, should I simply continue to be patient? Should I dunk them again?

Thanks in advance for you continued assistance, Shroomery.

damn, you got some sick clusters there! :shocked:

if the cakes feels light I would set them in a saucer with water and let them drink for half a day or so.
that's some pretty heavy pinsets to support, the cakes are gonna need water.

other than that just keep doing what you're doing and be patient.

Thanks, spacechildo!

I meant to mention it in my update, but I have noticed a slight bluing of the (aerial?) mycelium on some of the cakes; which can be an indication of dehydration, correct?

Weight-wise, it might just be me, but the cakes don't quite seem heavy or light--more in the middle, maybe leaning a slight bit more toward the light slide...  :facepalm:  :justdontknow:

Based on the pictures and what I've said here, would you go ahead and put them in a saucer of water? If so, would you also do it for the B+ cakes?

Thanks!

Were they dunked for at least 12 hours? If so, they're fine and should have a nice flush within a couple days. If they weren't dunked then yeah I'd set them in a saucer if water.  Very nice pin sets.

What strain is this? Did you dunk for 24 hours?



Back left & right are B+; center is Creeper; front left is Cambodian; and front right is Escondido.
I dunked all 5 five cakes for 24 hours, rinsed, and rolled in dry vermiculite which I had placed in the oven for 30 minutes prior to rolling.
