Lack of FAE, shouldn't be happening on the bottom though unless you're not getting enough FAE in general.

SPRAY THE CAKES DIRECTLY.

Make sure you hold the spray bottle far enough away from the cakes or you could bruise them. :thumbup:

Okay, thanks everyone. I've taken all your advice and:

- put my cakes aside, rewet all my perlite
- Added an additional half inch of new perlite to the chamber
- replaced the tin foil with new tin foil just barely bigger than the cakes
- positioned the cakes more closely together
- cut a huge hole out of the table it sits on (it's a cheapo cardboard table). So now there's three feet of open air between it and the ground.

I'm also convinced at this point its all mycelium. As I mentioned above, toward the bottom some of it is blatantly strandy. The blobs on top are stuck tight, and when I poked a few of them they quickly bruised blue. And a tiny amount of the blobs on the sides were stray beads of perlite.

I'll do the best I can with misting. I haven't been specifically trying to mist the walls - more like not directly mist into the cakes, so the mist happens to hit the walls while its falling down.

Finally, about the air conditioner... do you think I should keep it on or off? Without it, the room hovers well above 80 (80-85). With it, it hovers a bit below 80 (75-80). I have the air conditioner pointing away from the chamber and a big blanket in between them to prevent any direct wind. But I'm still really unsure if the temperature or the moving air in the room would cause the bigger risk.

Update:

I'm up to day 9 since birthing. Absolutely nothing has changed since two days ago. Perhaps it's a plus that there's no more mycelium growth outside the cakes than Sunday. But absolutely no sign of any forward movement.

I've misted exactly twice per day (once in morning, once in evening, ~12 hour difference) followed immediately by a healthy fanning. I've touched my cakes a few times after washing hands and they're clearly damp and holding moisture even before I mist. And when I lift them they definitely feel heavy as if they're retaining moisture.

When I mist I'm aiming for that glisten without drenching them. My natural environment is pretty humid anyway, so I think there's a low probability of dryness issues.

As I mentioned earlier, on Sunday I cut a huge hole in the table my SGFC sits on to create three feet of bottom air between the SGFC and the ground. It's all built to spec (1/4" holes 2" apart). In a spacious room, not too close to walls. Plenty of perlite, nice and moist.

I'm completely confounded. I simply don't know what else I could do.

Thanks, taGyo. I know - you're right. It'll be hard to get pics now, but I'll post some updated ones tomorrow or so.

Good news! As of last night (10 day mark), I saw the first sign of pins - one miniscule but clear pin growing out of the top of one cake. As of this morning I can see clear (albeit small) pin activity on three cakes. Pics:






You'll notice discoloration on some of the cakes. I'm quite convinced it's bruising - this started when I picked them up Sunday to remove them from the FC and refresh the perlite. They're unambiguously dark blue. They clearly are part of the mycelium itself and not any kind of fuzzy or powdery (or any) layer on top.  And when I did a few test pokes a while back of some mycelium spots, they quickly turned the same color.

My fourth pic shows the one cake with clear aerial mycelium on the bottom. On the other side of the cake are a few clearly extending strands. None of the other cakes exhibit this, so that seem to be my needy cake.

These pictures were taken just before misting time.

How do the pin colors look to you?

And thanks again for your support and patience so far.

Nice bud I'm 2 days behind you. I was wondering if the fluffiness was bad or good lol

Rather than spam this thread, I'm going to post daily updates here:

The me of three days ago would have really appreciated this, so I feel it's the least I can offer.
