Never seen cakes with soo many pins on top, looks cool tho! They'll take at least a couple more days to fully mature. Pick them when the veil is breaking from the stem.

Those need a misting bad. The pinning locations are indeed unusual though... Is that some stroma going on?
You seen how many noobs like to use that one azur? You started a new wave of dick swingin.

I actually took these photos right after a misting, they were glistening when I held my phones flashlight to them, it just looks much dryer in these pics. I think its because my vermiculite doesnt get darker when wet for some reason. Also what is stroma?

You can also check your perlite to see if it is still properly hydrated.
Perlite will dry out quicker if the holes in your tub are too close together or too big. I made that mistake with my last SGFC, my cakes dried out in a week and it was because of the poor design letting in too much FAE.

So my biggest fuck up so far is that to hydrate my perlite i just poured a bunch of water all over it while it was in the sgfc, mixed it around with my hands and let the water drain out the bottom holes. Which is unconventional but seemed to work. I did this twice, once to add more perlite because there was only like 3 inches originally. All this movement of my cakes is what has made them bruise so much but it doesnt seem to have messed up the fruiting too badly.
How wet should perlite feel to the touch? When I put my fingers in it, it feels cool and slightly damp but my fingers do not appear wet when i look at them.

Yeah I forgot to mention that you want to gently remove your cakes prior to rehydrating the perlite. It's all good tho, bruising is not that big of a deal, and they should still continue to pin up.
The perlite should feel damp. For me, most of the perlite sticks to my hand after moving it around, that's how you know it is properly hydrated.

Ok i just misted the shit out of my perlite and even poured a little water on it allowing it to drain from the bottom.
Kind of amazing how fast these things are growing, theyre noticeably larger than when i took these pics this morning. Stoked!
Any idea what my yield might be? I hope to get 3 flushes out of these 7 cakes and i have another 10 jars colonizing at the moment.
