1st grow, pins growing up! Would love any feedback or tips for next time.

#26131716 - 08/12/19 12:42 AM (7 years, 3 days ago)

So this is a lazy pftek (used the premade jars...will do it from scratch next time). Still seemed to work okay, no real contam that could be seen.

31 days to birthing (including 1 week of consolidation). 20 hour dunk, and 11 days after dunking until seeing the 1st pin. Pics are from day 14. Misting 3x day, with fanning. It's 50-60$ humidity in the house here, 68-75'F.

It's about 4" up and in the best place in the only room that can not have fans and such running. Did some smoke testing and seems to get good FAE. Both humidity sensors are almost always at 99, except for after fanning when they drop to ~93-98 (lower) and ~80-88 (upper) during evaporation for about an hour or two..then back to 99. (Know they are not that reliably though...just a data geek.) SGFC is as close to spec as could make it, with a 6500k CFL doing 12/12 right above. Pull it farther away from the wall when practical.

The hacked together with zipties wire cube rack works really well as a cat-safe stand.

Think the blue/green (doesn't run off) is due to bruising. The first verm coating was crap (too coarse) and the next day washed it off and re-rolled them in a finer ground verm. So they got a lot of handling. (And know misting has knocked off a little more verm than should let it. Do more of a careful "up mist" now with the pins out.)

Welcome any feedback. So far, pretty happy with what looks like has started to progress... Probably try monotubs next time for fun.

Its getting hard to keep the ex-gothgirl wife away from the tub now... :smile:

Thanks!

Close up of the main pins so far on the 4 cakes...

This one has the most pins all around and on top so far, and pinned a day before the rest. Also this one fell over once due to the cat before I had the tub in its full cage, so it was handled more than the rest:

View of all 4 and view of some of the overall setup:

Thanks again! (And for existing...couldn't do this without this place. First post, but long time lurker without an account.)
