Low yields on bulk substrate
    #23609797 - 09/03/16 11:28 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

Hello everybody. This is my first grow and I'm sure I've made some mistakes along the way. I had a brf cake that I spawned to coco coir. I waited about 10 days for it to colonize and at the time I thought it looked good enough to transfer to the fruiting chamber but now that I'm learning more about growing, I'm pretty sure it wasn't ready to transfer yet. I had a very small flush and picked it about 3 days ago and haven't noticed anything so far. I'm wondering if I will get a second flush because it seems to have stalled? I have (2) 6500k fluorescent bulbs, temp is 76-78 and humidity is 88-95. I fan 3-4 times a day and mist every other time I fan. Am I missing anything?

you got your answer.
trust me.. i did it once.
brf to coco(or brf to any spawn) is not that way to go.

edit: good job on getting your first fruits!!

Yeah I'm having a hard time figuring out how to attach a picture to my post. For some reason when I do it, it only lets me access like 4 photos from my gallery. And yeah I gotta say it's all learning I'm just glad I had a little something to show for it!

are these the pics you wanted to share?
       

1 brf cake isnt much spawn, you could have gotten more if you didnt take the sub cake out of whatever it colonized in,
as it is now its losing moisture FAST. the top looks very dry while it needs drops of water all over to initiate knotting.

This is what's drying it all out. Only fan after you mist. No mist, no fan. Fanning consists of opening the chamber to mist and then placing the lid back when done misting. Standing there for 3 min fanning the hell outta it gives pretty poor results.

When I used brf I never cased my cakes and had them sitting on perlite. I also didn't mist but used steaming water poured and drained through the perlite and ice cubes to keep the steam from raising the heat

You are really really over complicating things.  Mist, then fan.  Humidity is not an issue in a properly built chamber.

Oh I know I did. I was a shitty make shift terrarium in my closet. I was misting till I read that getting to much on the cakes would hurt them and got paranoid.

Yeah. I had a hard time with the first batch getting anything to stick. I misted and fanned when I was casing. But when I stopped doing that I watched  my cakes get damaged before my very every eyes and realized with out that casing direct misting could be trouble. I did amazing without it with a little more work and never really looked for a different method after that

It seemed to tear the mycelium with direct misting and no casing

What are you doing, spraying with a fire hose?  A light mist above the chamber, and allowing it to fall all over you sub or cakes should do no harm at all.

It should stick easy you did dunk in water for 24 hours first right? Dunk and roll I then leave it a day to give the myc time to grab hold of the verm it should be plenty wet to not need a spray for 24 hours that way it all doesn't fall off first time I spray it

See that was my problem....I literally dipped them in distilled water then attempted to roll them in the verm. No I was spraying them directly. EEverything I'm telling you was from my first time ever trying this. All from of head knowledge (obviously limited). But I did end up with brilliant beautiful flushes like I ssaid monthly 3 flushes per cake and almost no aborts at all once I began to learn from my mistakes
