Looking good?
    #23365801 - 06/21/16 04:57 AM (7 years, 7 months ago)

Hey, i birthed my first brf cakes about 2 weeks ago.
All of the 4 cakes are PES Amazonian.

The one with mushrooms growing on, was birthed about 2 weeks ago.

The other 3 cakes were birthed around 8-10 days ago.


I see a few pins on the blooming one, so it should be healthy, right?
Do they look healthy? And could somebody tell me, why one of the cakes are blooming with white(mycelium?)?

Thanks!

The mycelium is growing out due to high humidity.

Your grow looks good, just make sure you're getting plenty of fresh air exchange and you should be seeing those cakes explode with fruits any minute.

How would i go about increasing the FAE?
I read somewhere, that fanning sgfc's were a bad idea, is this true?
Also, the cake which has made 3 shrooms doesn't seem to have any more pins :O
Should i harvest the 3, when ready and wait for more?

Thanks

The newly formed pins, seems to be a bit pale :P
Should i worry or do they look normal?

Fanning is not FAE, unless you are fanning every 10-15 minutes. Fanning dosen't hurt anything right after misting, but really dosen't help either. If you built your sgfc to spec (1/4" holes 2" apart on all 6 sides elivated off the surface it's sitting on and 4-6" of perlite) you're good. SGFC's have plenty of FAE, they are riddled with holes.

This is what my sgfc currently looks like(old pic):


Doesn't it seem fine?

Looks like you could use a couple more inches of perlite, other than that :thumbup:

Great :wink:
I harvested the 3 shrooms from my first birthed cake:

Should i dunk(and probably roll again :P) or just let the cake sit, and see if more pins form?

Also the blooming cake's pins still seem pale and pretty unnatural :laugh:
Could somebody tell me, if these pins seem normal?



Thanks in advance

pins look normal to me buddy, good luck with the rest of the grow :smile:

btw, still looks real dry to me. see how the myc seems to be reaching out? its searching for air or suffocating from co2. or both. not sure as im no expert. but i know reaching myc needs fae.

I don't think the cakes are dry, maybe except the first birthed cake(harvested).
I did a pretty bad job with the verm on that first one :P
Therefore i was wondering, if dunking and rolling it again, would make sense?
Or would you recommend just waiting and see, if any more pins form?

Would running a fan in my room help increase FAE?

Thanks

A fan in the room will disrupt the natural air currents of a sgfc and dry out your cakes, dunk after flushes, but don't roll again.

Okay!
I know that you usually don't roll again after a flush, but considering the almost non-existent layer of verm on the one cake, wouldn't it be beneficial?
Should i just dunk the cake, which produced 3 small fruits?

Thanks

I have heard it mentioned that re rolling can cover up contaminations that have landed on the cakes and make a good micro climate for them to germinate and the mycellium gets weaker after each flush not able to fend them off as much as new cakes.

If they are no more mushrooms growing I'd consider that a flush and go ahead and dunk it.

Hopefully you got more perlite in that SGFC like NDStepp84 said.  With that little amount it's not going to perform ideally. Which may be why other are pointing out problems with the way the myc looks.  Just my two cents. Good luck!

Thanks for your two cents :wink:
I actually put in more perlite since that picture, which is about a month old, if i remember correctly.
I will post a new picture of my sgfc later.
How would i go about adding more perlite, when the cakes are fruiting? Is this possible?

Thanks

Yes easily possible. 

Hydrate your new perlite and get it ready to pour into the SGFC.

Take the cakes out of the SGFC on their pieces of foil and set them aside.  They'll be fine for a short while outside the SGFC. (30 min or so)

Then just pour in the new hydrated perlite.

No tricks or anything here.  You're probably just over thinking it. =)

The same goes if you want to rehydrate ALL of the perlite. Which depending on how long it's been a there, might be a good idea. I forget how long perlite stays hydrated but I don't think it's more than a couple months.

yup, to expand on what other's have said abotu the perlite, i would fill it up to where it would be right at the second line of holes if you havent already done so. also, do as BLINK said for adding more/re-hydrating. if you havent already, i would rehydrate what was already in there, since it has been a month. although, since it was such a small amoutn of perlite, it probably would make little difference, you know?it was just an inch, and you will be putting about 4 more inch's worth in.

looking good so far, though! good job, and good luck :thumbup:

Thanks for the tips :laugh:
Maybe i was just overthinking it :P
I will try to hydrate the perlite tonight and add some more, if neccessary tomorrow.
This is what it look like currently:


Thanks

yeah, i would add more perlite, for sure you want 4-5in in it. but looking good, otherwise.
