Am I doing this correctly? Rye seed substrate, cases with vermiculate in fruiting tube
#22072399 - 08/10/15 04:06 PM (8 years, 5 months ago) |

My set up is a large plastic tub with holes all around and on top of lid. On one end I have a fan tapped into a hole (best seal I could do to put the fan in) and then a lamp on top, both on the same timer for 12 hours on and 12 hours off. Now during fruiting I have half inch of perlite on bottom.
I have 3 trays in my tub. 2 golden teacher and 1 B Spores are from spore syringes and substrate just simple mix of vermiculite from home deport and rye seed from online.
I cased them 9 days ago and kept tin foil with holes covering for 7 days. I took tin foil off and now it's day two and they haven't changed much. Is this normal ? Am I just being impatient? Or is something wrong with my set up? There's some blue on the trays where I bruised them a little and on the side of array closest to the fan.
Humidity is at 100% and temps stay around 75-80 F.

I believe you are using the words "substrate" and "casing" wrong. Verm and rye does not a substrate make. If I left a casing on for a whole week it would not be a casing anymore, I fruit 2-3 days after applying a casing. Welcome to the Shroomery!

What casing do you use ? And why do I need more perlite of my humidity is already at 100%?

Sorry for the tube confusion. My phone autocorrected it. My gauge says the humidity is at 100% should I still put more perlite? Should I stop using fan all together? Or just cut down the hours it's on? Thanks everyone.

post some pics but fans are not good for sgfc's and your hygrometer is more then likely digital and not meant for these settings, ditch it they are not needed

Ok, so no more fan. My thermometer is men for plants. But I will add more perlite to be safe. Will post pics soon.

yep and they work good at about 50% humidity, analogues work best but there is no need for a hygrometer anyway just mist as needed

What is to much humidity ? I put another inch of perlite and added a little humidifier I had into the tub. How do I know what is to much and just enough?

when yopur at a constant 99%+ and you get no evaporation you just waterlog your cake/sub, take the humidifier out and just mist as needed and elevate your fc

@ Cronicr, why do you keep saying to elevate his FC? Op never indicated his FC isn't elevated.

Elevating the chamber will help with the needed airflow.
Op doesn't seem to understand that the chamber is essentially controlling evaporation.
Ditch the humidifier and the humidity gauge.
Learning to read cakes, misting with a spray bottle and fanning will improve your yields over some half ass wanna be auto set up.

Are you serious? It doesn't say either way, that's the point... why would you assume it's not elevated, because Cronicr implied so? Read the whole thing and ask yourself, why am I assuming something based on nothing?

its just a very common newbie mistake. like thinking the bottom holes arent important. not gonna put words in crons mouth but when he's seen it thousands of times he just assumes here's another one. its good info none the less for any possible lurkers too!

Very true. Is it just me or does it read as if OP just mixed verm in with (colonized) rye as substrate ? What did you case with OP?
