Cambodian Grow Kit Not Fruiting
#26501259 - 02/24/20 10:49 AM (3 years, 11 months ago) |

I put this fully colonized Cambodian grow kit (with rye grain) in a fruiting conditions 21 days ago, but no single pin has appeared yet unfortunately. I followed the steps on the user manual: I didn’t fan or open the bag daily, or I didn’t mist the walls of the air-filtered bag.
21 days - nothing:

What should I do? Should I dunk the cake for couple hours in the fridge and put it back to fruiting conditions? Should I spray the bag daily, 4-5 times? Or should I put some holes on the bag and fan? Can I fan with the lid of the box, because I don’t have a ventilator. Also, should I really follow 12 hours daylight, 12 hours no light procedure? Because the kit stands on the floor in front of my wardrobe (20-22 C), and the light is open until 12-1 am. So it is not in dark for 12 hours. Do you think that has an effect on stalling the growth?
I searched the forum, but couldn’t come up with a certain solution, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Building SGFC is not an option for me at the moment. It’s been 21 days and I am scared that it might be a waste. I waited this grow kit to birth with great enthusiasm

Idk how kits work but it seems like it would need more air. I’d hope after so long it’s 100% colonized so contams shouldn’t be a problem unless they’re already in there.

I think you should poke some holes in that bag, and cover them with micropore tape. It doesn't look like it's getting any FAE, which is one of their triggers to fruit.
Your light should be fine, these grow in the wild outside you know.

Fruiting in open air is fine. Cut the top of the bag open. Or poke holes, no tape. Also take a picture of the surface of your project so we can diagnose fruiting problems.

@shadowpuppets if it's a full mycelium kit from NL it should usually start pinning in about 14 days. The floor is never a good place. Put it on a tabletop or something and check if the surface of your substrate is moist (which it should be). The bafs give you enough fae. If it fails you'll usually be able to have it replaced if it's a Dutch kit. Also: you've come to the right place to learn how to grow without having to resort to kits

Alright, I will poke some holes on the bag and put it on a table. But what about misting the cake and fanning? Should I mist directly on the cake 4-5 times a day, and fan with a lid of the box? Also, I read that the cake might be sleeping, so before poking holes and start misting/fanning, should I fill the box with water, wait for 12 hours and then start working on it?

Here are the pictures mate, I appreciate your help. What do the pictures tell you?

The grow kit was the only option for me back then, I didn't know much about the stuff. If it doesn't fail, I will take spore prints, syringe etc. and do my best.

You can get some wet coir and load it in the bottom and set the tub ontop of it in the bag. Mist and fan as needed, not on a schedule.

So you're saying I can save it Is it okay if I just dunk, poke some holes on the bag, mist and fan? I think I can get coir in at least a few days, if not weeks.

I wouldn't dunk. You got mositure in there. Just need to add a little surface moisture to the Verm and let it evaporate off to induce pinning.
