Help Y'all! So I bought this Midwest grow kit,,
    #23949928 - 12/22/16 07:19 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

I bought this grow kit from Midwest and it seemed pretty simple I have grown before but made my own chamber, so long ago I don't remember how I did it.  Anyways I  Used an oven tek to noc. All went well and fully colonized in 6 weeks. Set up this chamber as specified. Originally I only birthed 6 cakes first. I have all going now.  I have the air pump going 24/7 as I work long hours and can't fan a lot but do and mist when I get home. It seems the humidity is high cuz its always looking wet in there.  The perlite is only 2 in. On the bottom.  Cakes sit on foil and the lids underneath. Light is on a timer 12/12. The whole thing is covered by a blanket all the time. After I birthed the cakes I got pins in like ten days only 3 of them and they grew to full open vale so I picked them. I than dunked the cakes for ten hours in zip lock baggies and placed in the fridge for only ten hours. I rolled a few in very and double end cased a couple. Placed back in the chamber. It's been another 5 days and nothing. Except for a few primordea on one cake.  I am open for any ideas on how to fix/change my chamber.  I know that has got to be the problem here. What should I do. I have cash so I can do just about anything. I have pictures so please feel free to examine and help is needed.

Welcome to the Shroomery

SGFC

Build exactly to spec, 1/4" holes 2" apart in a grid including top and bottom 4-6" of perlite, elivated off the surface it's sitting on, also loose the air pump and blanket. If you have time to brush your teeth you have time to mist your cakes a couple times a day, RR developed the sgfc while working 12 hour shifts, a passive system like a sgfc is as automated as it gets.

Edit: Also edit spore vendor from your post, against the rules :wink:

I'm trying to upload pictures of everything. Thanks for the information. I would say it's elevated because it is in standing water in a tub underneath of the chamber so it is not directly on the ground.  These holes that I need to put in it do they go all the way around top and bottom cuz man it would drip all over.

yes. read the tek. follow it to the T. do you see any water in it? get rid of the water. that contraption is terrible, you need a whole new setup. the SGFC is the only solution you need.

I will have the new chamber set up tomorrow,so than just transfer my cakes over and continue 12\12 lighting,misting than fanning 3-6 times daily and I should be good I assume correct? I don't understand how the perlite doesn't dry up? Preparation of perlite?

Terrarium-Tek by RR

Rinse the perlite really well to remove dust and hydrate it.

Place it at the bottom of the SGFC 4-5" deep.

Then when you mist your cakes just mist the perlite as well. Helps keep it hydrated.

In the tek on Rrs page it says ambient of 50% humidity in the room,  and here it says 30% which is correct?  50% is a bit extreme and not really comfortable.  Thanks for the help my set up is coming along
