Hello, I birthed one of my cakes going on 2 weeks and 2 days ago, it was at 100 percent colonization, I dunked for 24 hours then rolled it. it as not done anything since.
B+ (BRF) in SGFC at 65- 70 degrease.
i mist and fan every day. I keep the walls moist now that by now the perlite is dry. " i mist the walls and when the walls are dry i mist them again"
I just put another one in its been about a week i hope it does something.
here are some pictures and close up of the Mycelium.
please tell me what is going wrong i just want these to grow :/
maybe be easier to spawn into popcorn and then grow bulk into cococoir??? was hoping to get these gowing and practice working with agar/ clonning ect.

Did you let the cakes consolidate for a week after 100% colonized? Also I read other experienced users saying you're not supposed to mist the walls just the cakes. Also if your perlite is dry maybe you could take the cakes out, rinse the perlite and put everything back in again? Those cakes might need more moisture:

This is a group effort and the more people that participate, the better it works.
Some people get confused by how and when to mist cakes. Some people may take this understanding for granted, but there are still some very smart noobs that need a little extra help. So, I thought I'd start a one stop source for all things about cake misting.
What I'd like to see is pics of cakes before and after misting at various stages of growth so others can see what you do. Sometimes words just aren't enough to explain it. Aslo try to include a little explanation.
Here is some vermiculite I put in some petri dishes just for an example. I don't grow cakes anymore and am amazed at how few pics there are of "glistening" and "no longer glistening" cakes.
Remember, everyone may do things a little different and that's great. With enough pics, a pattern should emerge for those who need this thread. Just post your stuff and try to move on without too much criticism of others. Be respectful. There's already a ton of explanations, so pics is the main point of this thread.
A good misting schedule helps with pinning because evaporation off the surface of the cake is a pinning trigger. Evaporation off the surface also keeps humidity high at the surface where it matters most. A cycle of misting, evaporation, and water replenishment not only is a good pinning strategy, but it can also help keep you cakes from drying out.
Verm has it's on sparkle because of some of the smooth surfaces of the little bits. But we mean the glistening from the water itself.
Mist cakes directly until they glisten with moisture. When it's not glistening anymore, but still appears damp, you can mist again. You can even let the verm dry a little and some people actually prefer that. Only fan right after misting, if at all, and only a couple of passes with the lid is all it takes. IMHO, fanning is not needed.
Remember, there is not a fixed time or schedule that works universally for everyone. Anywhere from 2-5 mistings a day is common, with 3 probably being most common. You have to look at your cakes to determine if they need misting again.
Dry
Damp
Glistening with moisture
If you are running out of room to store pics, I might renew my supporter account and start storing them for you for the purpose of this thread.

I would lift them, do they feel heavy or light? You can move them to a ziplock bag or Tupperware containers while you rewash and rewet your perilite if you think it is dry. Pinning is triggered by FAE so if your perilite is dry you may not have enough RH fluctuating in the grow chamber. First picture looks dry, third looks good. Just time is all I can say.

1 was light i re dunked one of them and rolled it, i soaked and drained per-lite again, now i have them up stairs in the attic where it is warmer. i think maybe the cold by the windows are fucking with it it gets 20 degrees right now where im at. even with the heat on 65 or 70 might still get to cold down on the first level of the house. I am now misting the cakes directly hopefully in the next week or so i see pins
