So do I need to do Anything?!
    #22391008 - 10/16/15 10:13 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

My chamber is looking pretty happy and everything is growing. Primordials and white fungi spreading from cakes like mad. I Mist a few times a day and fan. Should I stop misting now until they fully fruit? Sorry but these ones were getting so fat cake was against wall of FC sideways from toppling over. I flipped a few cakes due to this. I hear stop misting when fruits? Yes/No? These are the biggest in my chamber but DAMN are they growing.

Brazilian and Cabo both in FC. ANYONE KNOW WHICH THIS IS? I didn't label my jars LOL!

Like I had my FC on just a wooden bench.. I happened to move it one day and TONS of water from the holes in bottom of FC Foil is covering. So i moved it and put put over towels and in my utility/laundry room where its warmer (sometimes I use a space heater too). Should U often take em out and turn perlite tubs sideways to see if water pours out, I don't want it to pool? They also get very dry and fast from evap i see on the lid of my FC. I've literally used like 3 gallons of water misting (I use purified bottled water). Should I remove the polyfil fiber from the holes? I also have a water tank in the middle of my fc hooked up to water hoses. (If you check my previous post.)

ANY ADVICE IS WELCOME!!! I personally think its doing great for a first flush. But I want the best possible!

Its getting colder in the south and very random. At nights low 50s- and days 70-90. I like my room cold so i moved em to utility room to warm to stay steady and warm. Last section added as edit.

You don't want the water pooled up on the perlite it just needs to be wet.
Keep misting those cakes

I also was wondering about the light.. Should i 12/12 or just leave on while at work? I hear 30 mins a day is enough... I am using a cheap ass fluorescent plant light from Walmart.

Mushrooms have a circadian rhythm, they grow great with a 12/12 cycle. I use a plug-in led strip for my mushies. Is your fruiting chamber clear? You could place it near a window for some sun light to assist your florescent.

hey, put some foil under those cakes just enough for them to sit on. you dont want to sit cakes directly on perlite.

Removed the polyfil and lifted the tank off its bottom so that the bottom holes can breathe. :smile:
