SGFC perlite dried out.
    #25163648 - 04/25/18 01:47 AM (6 years, 8 months ago)

After my first flush with PF TEK on my first ever grow I dried the shrooms out with a fan in the same room as my SGFC. It was actually pointing at it, about 8 feet away. (I now know that was a mistake).

5 days later my cakes have showed no sign of pinning for the second flush so I felt the perlite and it felt pretty dry, even when I dug my fingers in.

I took my SGFC into the bathroom and ran the shower over the perlite and let it drain but my question is, will this dry period have damaged my cakes or will they just kick off again when the conditions are right?

dunk them in water for a  few hours. I have
seen people use month old dry cakes and they
managed to fruit

i recommend common sense and figuring it out.

These are the TEKs I use. They're all as cheap and easy as possible, just like your mom.
