Do you think these cakes are ready??
    #23522128 - 08/08/16 02:27 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

I hope I'm not being a pest by asking so many questions. I'm on my first grow now using the PF tek. I made it to fruit with my first little batch of cakes. It has been nearly a month and I only got two small mushrooms from one cake. I've since dunked that cake and returned it to fruit. I'm just now getting a few pins on some other cakes.

Now I have 3 more jars that I believe are ready, but now I'm second guessing myself. What if my first cakes weren't fully consolidated and that's why they are taking forever? :confused: Anyway the jars in question were made 6-22.

Again I'm sorry to be asking so my silly noob questions, I just want to get it right this time!

Wait 7-14 days after they get 100% colonization. If you see them pin its time to birth even if they're less than 100%. Wash off whatever uncolonized portions there are, if any. Then fruit

Dunk n' roll before fruiting, too, no?

OP didn't make it clear whether they had dunked n' rolled, as prescribed or not; just that they had dunked at least one cake after it had already been in the FC for a while.

tl;dr - don't forget to dunk (in water for 24hrs) n' roll (in dry verm) after birthing and before fruiting!! :super:

That's what I thought. These cakes have looked like this for 10+ days so I believe they are colonized/consolidated. When I went to birth today I noticed that one cake had a different texture and was even whiter than the other two. So I think I'm going to wait another week, or until I see pins like you said.

Thank you!!

Yes the first 7 cakes were dunked 24 hrs then rolled in vermiculite, then sprayed 45 minutes later. These 7 cakes have been in the fruiting chamber 28 days. 2 mushrooms were harvested 10 days ago and all cakes were re-dunked. At that point 3 more jars were ready and got dunked but not rolled. Don't know why I didn't roll but I didn't. :blush:

Now I have 3 more jars ready but I'm just afraid to fuck em up :frown:

sounds like something is wrong since its been a month and u only got 2 shrooms.

U might have birthed the cakes too early. Did u do a 1 to 2 week consoldation period *after* the jars made 100%?

Looks a little dry in your SGFC. Are u misting regularly when it looks even a little dry inside?

I had many issues that other kind members pointed out to me. I didn't have enough holes in my SGFC and I had no holes in the lid. My foil was way too large underneath each cake. And I wasn't misting the cakes directly; just misting the walls of the tub. I drilled more holes and have been misting 3 times a day for 2 days now.  I work 12 shifts so it is impossible for me to mist/fan as often as many do :/ 

I waited 7 days after what I thought was full colonization, to allow for consolidation but as I said this is my first attempt, so i could be wrong. That was kinda why I started this thread, to make sure my new jars are good to go, so I could be more successful.
