Another surface conditions question
    #26349930 - 11/28/19 04:45 AM (4 years, 2 months ago)

Today I didnt notice those tiny water beads in my surface. Instead it had a shiney "glaze" over the whole thing.

Is this a sign that it could use a light mist?

Ah yes another problem I also had. I asked the same thing and was told it’s prob the beginning stage of matting from getting too dry.

Oh no... ok better stop cracking that lid. I keep cracking the lid a bit in an effort to aid in evaporation and a nice pinset. This first tub is such a learning experience.

That’s for sure. I drove myself crazy with my first one. Pretty much moved into the grow room I was monitoring and messing with it so much.

I feel you. Misting lightly 2-3 times a day now, but far from sure its needed.
I make sure its never any true pooling of water though.

When we get more tubs under our belt, it will improve.
We just need to know, that what we do, is okay. :mushroom2:

Ya dude I got a lot of anxiety about messing things up, during the very last stage of everything..that would just be so horrible...

Did you mist your boxes while you were futzing with FAE?

How far along is yours? When did you spawn? Have you had a flush yet? I keep worrying about when it will be time to start misting mine with water, but the main consensus seems to be that it isn't really needed until after the first flush...?

Mine was spawned on the 11th just started seeing pins yesterday got mayne 30 so far.


Yeah you shouldnt have to mist IF your FAE is dialed in...to much FAE and your sub is probably gonna dry out and need it, which is where I am...

Oh so much misting my first one. I tried to do straight open air for a couple days with RH of 16%....it would seriously dry out in half an hour sometimes it was ridiculous.

I was thinking the open air would help the pinset and also help me learn the surface conditions but what happened was the surface got so fucked so fast it was useless as far as learning what normal looked like.

I did however learn a whole lot about what it shouldn’t look like, so not a total waste.

I feel pretty dumb now that I’m starting to get it all down. It really is just prep the sub right at spawning and leave it alone.

Honestly sometimes I think you can learn more from a newbs mistakes then from a pros success, so I thank you for getting into this just a nick before me and sparing me some of your hardships!

Anyways based of of how your sub looked in open air, would you say I'm headed towards things being too dry (too much FAE) or...?

I totally agree I was actually pretty stoked to get trich last week and some weird bacteria from sketchy spawn today. Just collecting all kinds of experience.

Lol I’m glad somebody gets something from my mistakes. I was thinking earlier about how hard this must’ve been before the internet. Or even like ten years ago I’m shocked by some of the stuff in the older threads.

Dude that's crazy to think about! I mean there would of been literature and stuff but how many books are really floating around about cube cult?

I think the amount of peeps growing mush since the internet has probably skyrocketed!

A glazely look normally comes from standing water.
If it dried then got soaked again it can also get a glass to bit but will often have a brown or yellow tinge to it


--------------------

It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn

I'm tired do me a favor

So at this point since this glossy look to my sub is there and it doesn't have any kind of discoloration to it, and I've been misting it, would you assume it is too wet?

Would you chill on misting it,and open it up for more air?

Or stop misting it and leave the fae be?

That’s good to know I still wasn’t positive what caused that either.  So it’s from water pooling for a while then evaporating?

Mist if and when needed, don't set a schedule just watch it
