PF TEK Advice - Fruiting Before Birthing
    #22246832 - 09/16/15 04:30 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

I'm doing a PF TEK and had to leave my fully colonized jars for a week while away from home. When I got back a few of the jars were starting to fruit (pics below). What kind of action should I take before soaking, dunking, and rolling my cakes?

Dunking may make the pins abort, maybe just consider frequent watering for your first flush, and then dunk/roll it really good on the 2nd. If you ignore my advice like I did, then you probably should only dunk for about 4 hours or so, then case afterwards, and mist it a few hours later.

I've read that you should dunk the cakes like normal (18-24 hours). Maybe a TC can chime in on this.

Generally, but excessive dunking seems to have killed my pins in the past.

If its fruiting it's ready to birth.

What if I just snipped off the parts fruiting parts and proceeded as usual with the dunk, roll, birth?

I was thinking the same thing. The jars that started fruiting were the ones showing the most amounts of condensation.

If it's starting to pin or fruit in the jar, then go ahead and birth it.  Dunk for 24 hours in regular tap water, then roll in verm.  Try to leave the pins on, but if they fall off, they fall off.

Then it may just focus it's energy elsewhere. (Other pins)

pins love a good dunk and will often triple in size during one
