pinning strategy. question about lighting.
    #23354374 - 06/17/16 10:57 AM (7 years, 7 months ago)

so everything was made to field capacity, i had the urge to mist and fan while i was taking a picture this morning so i went ahead. how do these look so far. should i be dropping the temps to lower 70s? should i not open them at all and pins will form. i used to mist and fan the hell out of them, but since ive started growing again id like to get a new strategy.all i have for light it just ambient light coming through the window, no direct sunlight. i thought i read they only need a little light barely at all but some folks use t5 6500k etc. can i still get a nice pinset without using more light than just window light?   thank you everyone. just looking for opinions. oh and i do understand that misting can cause your pins to abort so you hold off for a while. basically only if casing layer is dry yeah?

Why are you misting and fanning before full colonization?  Further, why are you fanning a mono?  A mono should barely have to be misted, and never fanned.  That looks like a coir/verm casing so unlike most casing layers you can pretty much bet on it fully colonizing.

Temp should be lower 70s, light is good, whether you use more is up to you.  Light isn't the biggest factor in a pinset but it helps quite a bit to encourage healthy fruits.

mist if it looks dry, every other day with great FAE.
and how thick is that casing layer? applied after 100% colonizaiton I pressume?

2 of them appeared fully colonized. and two were just a like 90% i guess. i was told you can put the casing layer of early without and issues. and yes its jiffy and it say peat verm with a little coir i guess. ive seen them shoot up through the casing layer before. but i guess because the coir it wants to colonize the whole thing. i have just too much info in my head from getting lost in the search engine.

1/2 to maybe 3/4 inch in some spots with the casing layer

Ah okay, well if you applied the casing layer at 95-100% colonization then that's fine.  But yeah, only mist when the surface of it looks dry, it's pretty easy to spot the lighter color, it should contrast against some of the still hydrated casing below.

how long since you cased and put into fruiting?
could take a little longer than normal with 3/4", thats a bit too much with peat based casings IME.

well i started with polyfill from day one, spawned at 50 50 rate w hpoo. waited about 4 or 5 days, then cased, now been another 4. the mist was light and i felt the humidity wasnt up enough only because the totes lid doesnt sit tight on a few corners. i checked them just now and the misting didnt do any harm from what i see excpet for i introduced un pasteurized water from the tap which i regret. should i pasteurize my water if it worries me. lol ill do my casings a little thinner next batch.

so with the jiffy having "coir pith" along with the peat and verm should i just expect full colonozation before seeing pins?

If it's primarily jiffy it may not colonize fully so readily, just looked like coir to me in the picture at first.
