Contamination or not?
    #22407310 - 10/20/15 06:04 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hi 2 week before i gave birth to my cakes. Still don't have any shrooms or pins. My jars stay about 1 month or more before ready. I done dunk and roll. But not all vermiculite stay on cakes some of them fall out and naked areas start grown some white stuff. I uploaded pictures can anyone look at them and tell me is that contamination or what? Thanks.

I'm worried about white cottony spots and alos like you said i worried about time frame of course.It is my first attempt. Pf tek document say in 7-14 days it should start pinning but my cakes done nothing yet. I have wet perlite at bottom and i spray them every day once. Is it wrong spraying cakes? I do it like raining,i'm spraying bottle 1.5m above. My humidity always stable at 95-100. What should i do or am i doing something wrong?

You don't want humidity to always be that high.

The cakes are just fine.

A SGFC should only be at 95-99% humidity for a few minutes after you mist.

1-2mm from the surface of the cakes is always at 99% humidity as the water is evaporating off of the vermiculite

My room tempreture changes in 17-20 degrees that will be cause of high humidity i guess.Is it too low for fruiting? Is it prevent fruiting or just delay?

17 is a bit low but not the cause of any problems other than slowness. I've done ever one of my grows at 18-20c range I think we'll 65-68F. Under 65f is a little cold but 20C is perfect

Cool temps like that most ppl prefer the way the mushrooms grow. Much more thick and dense

Spray the cakes directly. Only when they need it can't give you a specific number of times a day it depends,

^^^this... if you can't see beads of moisture all over your cake, mist that motherfucker, if you have a lot of airflow in your room you are going to have to mist a lot more... shoot us a pic of your fruiting chamber.
