Time to increase FAE?
    #26429954 - 01/12/20 03:56 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

So after a rocky first run there’s finally some good news! My bags are starting to pin and I wanted to ask if it’s time to increase FAE, or if I should wait until the pin set sets in a bit more. Here’s what I got!

Thank you so much in advance.

yeah give it some more air. you could maybe wait a little longer on the ones with smaller pins if you wanted. how much light are they getting?

There are two 100 watt 6500s on them. I’m having a crazy idea to put the bags in an unmodified monotub to increase the FAE. I’m over opening each bag twice a day and it still not being enough FAE. So the plan is to put 4 bags in each monotub with the lid upside down like a bods easy AF monotub. Line the bottom of the tubs with perlite  and place the “cakes” on a piece of foil on top of the perlite. Am I crazy? I’m so over how hands on bags are.

yeah i don’t see why that wouldn’t work, i mean i can’t tell you with certainty but thinking about it it should help increase the FAE while keeping the mycelium moist enough. fuck it why not try it out, it never hurts to be a little creative

This is a much better approach compared to using a grow bag kit thing. You will also be able to give those bags room to grow side pins which can make a huge difference if you have them coming out the side.

I've done exactly what you're explaining except with coir and it worked well.

I really appreciate you both chiming in. This has been my first run of things and I’ve asked so many noob questions I for sure thought I wore out my welcome on the forum. Here’s the new set up I transferred most of the bags into the totes, which I plan to convert to Pasty’s dialed in monotubs in the next go around.

4 bags have signs of mycogone and I’m going to be harvesting a few of the big ass fruits I cant part with. I haven’t been opening the bags at all so the contamination doesn’t spread. They were from a. Dirty syringe, they were all the Hawaiian variety.

I also added more light where they have light in both sides.
