remove the foil, other then that it looks ok if it pins heavy you may end up having to birth it and rinse the uncolonized spots off

Also a ShotGunFruitingChamber is what your suppose to put the cakes into once birthed...anyone got the link to "building a SGFC"...I don't think I have it favorite'd.

Here are the "basics"

It goes over what a SGFC is and how to construct one I believe.

Yes I know I have a general idea of where I need to go but from no help of the kit. I have read many posts on here and other forums plus countless hours of YouTube videos I'm assuming as long as relative humidity stays near 100 and I drop the temp to around 75 fan a couple times a day which I'm not sure if I should since I have an air pump with timer, and give them 12 hours of light, which kit also came with several lights and timer I should be okay. Agreed?

I completely disagree. I took my air dump and literally threw it out of my window once I did actual research and realized how much it wasn't helping and how I allowed my self to be ripped off because I simply wanted to be lazy and not put in proper research. I've seen very very few kits actually work. 90% give shit results. If you don't think I'm right just keep doing what your doing. Some of us (like me) have too learn the very hard, expensive and downright lazy way.

Not quite... You're on the right track but you need to read some more... Many would recommend you build a SGFC (Shotgun Fruiting Chamber). It takes some time to construct, but it is relatively simple once you build it. Aquarium pumps are now considered obsolete. Just read until your eyes begin to hurt, then take a break and read some more. Start Here if you have not watched RR's videos yet...

Before you do this, or anything else - remove the foil. The mycelium is probably starving for oxygen... Give it some time to recover and for the filter to allow fresh oxygen to enter the jar before attempting anything else.

That being said, I know this is not quite accepted practice, but...

I have used many of the regular mouth jars (the tall and narrow 1/2 pints), and they do have an issue sometimes colonizing the bottom of the jar. I personally hazard an assumption that there can possibly be a build-up of CO2 (which is heavier than air) settling at the bottom that slows growth on the bottom of the jar.

I sometimes take a jar like that that has slowed growth on the bottom and carefully flip it upside-down while raised up to allow gas-exchange. I do not flip them multiple times - just once, and very slowly at that. The cake should not shift or fall. I also wait until the entire top portion is colonized (with the exception of the dry vermiculite layer). It usually finishes colonizing a few days later. I use some spare metal jar bands to lift it up to allow air flow to the filter.

Please don't slam me for this, as I know most people wouldn't suggest it... But I would much rather do this than birth a cake that is not fully colonized.

The proper solution is to use the wide mouth 1/2 pint jars.

I have noticed that growth has stalled toward the bottom of all the jars I'll look into the sgfc but they are the wide mouth half pint jars.  The whole reason I bought the kit was because I was unsure of my abilities in this.  Should have trusted myself a little more since purchase I have bought many more thing I could see a benefit in future use. I will return tomorrow since I have to got to work and check back any opinion is greatly appreciated thank you

Why are you stalking the cake?


--------------------
Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

I believe the poster is a white ninja and his camera is also stealth and looks like this:




also: the advice to read until your eyes bleed is a good one. HOWEVER try and focus on more recent posts, go with trusted cultivators, and find TEKs with proven results. It seems that there's a lot of disinformation on here that could be read and it's bullshit that someone new to the site has dug up from an old book. e.g. "Look at the results I got from fruiting in my goldfish bowl with a wet hanky in the bottom!" The Evilmushroom tek is however awesome!

and SGFC is a shotgun fruiting chamber, which you probably know is where you put the cake when it's fully colonized (and left to consolidate for a week preferably, unless there's an urgent contamination issue)
get a storage box, drill/ poke with a hot nail/ soldering iron 1/4" holes and space them 2" apart ALL OVER the tote, on all 6 sides. fill that with 4-6" of damp perlite (wash it then shake off the excess in a strainer, so it doesn't leak out of the bottom) and elevate the whole thing a couple of inches with whatever you have (try not to block too many of the holes). then place the SGFC somewhere thats off the floor (too many contams live down there) and preferably away from teh wall, for maximum efficiency.
and best of luck!
