Is this small for a first wave? First time growing
    #23715194 - 10/07/16 05:52 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hey guys, first time grow here. I birthed the cakes 2 weeks ago and did not dunk or roll them. I was going to wait till after the first wave to dunk my cakes. It looks like my first wave is slowing down. Does this seem to be small for a first wave? All of my cakes have seemed very healthy throughout the process.

EDIT*** I have an air pump to control fresh air flow even though you cant see it. I know they need fresh air...



Also, when do yall pick your shrooms? I have been told to pick when the veil breaks. I think this guy is ready.

This is 2016 the most advanced fruiting chamber is the SGFC. Properly built. So google proper sgfc and build that and transfer your cakes immediately.

Oh my god how do you not know what a sgfc is? It needs fresh air to increase pinning humidity like that is over worked. As to the fruit when the veil breaks like that is perfect. But since you have so few fruit wait a little more until a little spores drop. Then cut away the cap for spore print. And pick the base

I know what sgfc is. But it was my first time and I bought a kit that came with an air pump so that is what I am using. Why would an air pump be any different that holes?

Well if it had holes then you be getting more fresh air exchange which would cause you to get so many more mushrooms.
This grow's basically a waste of time for you. It looks like barely 1 fruit per cake.

Plus you should dunk and roll when birthed. That would also give you more fruit.

Its just unnessary, all they need is the old air to be replaced with new air 4 times a day, mist first then fan with the lid for like 10 secs. That is if you have a proper sgfc

I can still dunk and roll them after this first wave and set my pump to be on longer right? Not all is lost?

Not only is it not necessary, it's not advised. It simply creates a microclimate for contams to get started. After the first flush it's dunk only.




No all's not lost.

Why no roll? It appears that the only place I have growth is on the dry vermiculite

There's all kinds of unsterile things on those cakes right now from being exposed to open air.
If you roll it in verm it will be create a better suited environment for those unsterile things to get going and ruin your project.

Oh okay, thanks! After I dunk them, should I orient the cakes in the same way in my chamber? Also, is dunking in the fridge a bad idea?

That's why you want to do a good roll before the first flush..
