I'd go ahead and birth them If they're pinning that much :shrug:

You can also wait, but I feel that the mushies will be ready to bust through the lids before the colonization is finished :lol:

Birth those cakes NOW!

The bottom is colonized enough

I'd take them out and put into fruiting conditions(the ones with pins). Wash the uncolonized parts off as it could be battling with bacteria.

They could also just be slow...the ones without pins try flipping them upside down to see if it helps.

Do you guys think it's better to dunk them?? I planned on doing that once I birthed them.


If they're pinning I wouldn't worry about dunking them until before 2nd flush.

Before you start...Do you have a Pressure Cooker and a Dehydrator? I highly recommend getting both!

Or you risk the chance of stalling out the pins you already have.

Just make sure to keep it misted well and you'll be golden.

Alright thanks guys. I'm just going to birth them all. Or should I dunk the ones that aren't pinning?

I really wanted to do them all at once. But they're all damn nearly done

The ones that aren't pinning you'll wanna dunk and roll when they're fully colonized.

Because I did read they should consolidate for a week.  But I do have a feeling the others will start pinning at anytime


Wait it out as long as you can...If you have a few small pins on the cake dunking them isn't going to harm them, but you really want to get as close to 100% colonized as you can.

I'm really hoping these cakes turn out okay. I was NOT expecting to do this today and was unprepared.

Yes, progress like normal :thumbup:




Vibe_Enthusiast said:
So another questions. Pins were growing both up and down.. so wasn't really sure which way to put the cake. Anyway.. I just picked the way that most of the pins were growing. But their are some that are growing downward from the way I faced it. Think they'll start growing upward?




Yes they should start growing against gravity in time.

I think they'll be fine as long as they stay moist and get plenty of air. :goodluck:

Do they look colonized enough? I mean.. I see some people and their cakes look so perfectly white.. and mine still has some verm and what not. Bleh.

Think I'm just in my head right now. I have the FC sitting in another tub with a heater at the bottom. So it's pretty much sitting in heated water... because my house is stays 61 during the winter time.

Also, I'm doing the humidity chamber. I have the lid flipped and slightly ajar. That should be enough fresh air.. ya think?


Ehhhh....I've seen better and worse. Is that the verm layer on top? 

Placing FCs on heaters or heating pads scares me.

Lid flipped should be fine....I wouldn't let the cakes get too dry tho.

For the most part that's the verm layer. Think all but one. Other is the bottom. Just put it that way because pins were coming 0ut of the bottom.

I don't have the heat high. Keeps it around 74 or so. Technically not on a heater.. just in 'warm' water.

Just because my house is so cold.


Oh ok I see now....I think these will actually do alright. Just keep doing what you're doing and we'll see where it goes. :thumbup:



Vibe_Enthusiast said:
This is the setup

Also.. this might sound like a really stupid question but what's the biggest sign that you need to mist the cakes?



Nice setup! :thumbup:

Best sign is usually if they start bruising or they just look dry :shrug:
