So after dunking for the first time, all 10 of my cakes have a dark green tint :/ im assuming this means I should throw them out?

After searching the forum for a minute im assuming this is just bruising from stress during dunking/being dehydrated/poor FAE?

That's not green. You better get in the habit of asking your questions in the form of a picture.

Agreed. Is there any other way to increase AE besides just setting my air pump to run more often during the day and fanning with the lid when im not at work? (Dont worry, I plan on doing the shotgun method next time).

Get another air pump and hope it doesn't dry it all out

I would just leave the lid like 75% on 25% off and get the air pump out.

Wrong. Henceforth I am now charging a hole tax on all holes drilled in any SGFC going forward. The cost is $0.33 per hole drilled. 68% of all tax monies will be forwarded to Mark R Keith as it was his idea. Pay up bitches. . .


I love how we are so conditioned to blindly paying taxes that no one even questions where the other 32% of our hole tax is going
And on another note, roll your cakes and place in SGFC already! Damn..

I leave the lid on my tubs off and turned 90 degrees when I am home, works pretty damn good for me!
There's another user I know who leaves his lid off while he's home as well...
......but we don't speak of him anymore... It's Bodhisatta
However, a properly built SGFC does not need to have the lid off-etc... If you do it right, it'll do you right.

I was told not to roll them after the first flush because it will create a perfect environment for bacteria. Someone said it earlier in this thread.
Also, should I keep the lid slightly off before there is any pinning? How should I treat the chamber differently from before they pin to after?

why only keep the lid unfastened while at home?

So you can monitor moisture loss then mist as needed.
Also, you are correct. You are not supposed to re-roll your cakes after first flush... But you are supposed to roll your cakes in verm... Honestly man. If I were you, I would worry less about bacteria, and more about your setup if you want to have a good second flush... Ahem SGFC At this rate you're bound to have other problems before your cakes reach their fruiting potential anyway
just my 2 cents

I was a bit off topic in stating the above...
Your main focus should be creating a SGFC that works as it should.
The 'lid off' bullshittery I was discussing and comebackkid was adding on to is more of a technique used with monotubs.
Your SGFC being correctly made and maintained will do absolutely everything you want it to do for your cakes...
Your cakes being properly made (dunked and rolled at birth) will do everything it can for your fruiting bodies.
If you have the perfect environment - but you didn't set up your cakes well...you might have a bit of success-however, the point of the dunk and roll is to give your cakes the tools necessary to have the perfect micro-climate right where it needs to be (about a half-inch off the cakes) and to give you the best results possible. The SGFC being properly made with the right holes in a 2"x2" grid and the 4-6" of perlite will keep the cakes in the right conditions.
You have to start with the chamber being correct. The rest can only follow after the conditions for growth are there.
I can elaborate on anything you need - ask away!
There are many people here that will help you!
