Trouble Fruiting in SGFC
    #26566934 - 03/30/20 10:22 AM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Hey folks,

Returning to this hobby after a few years absence.  I birthed some BRF cakes about 10 days ago to my SGFC and am really having a difficult time getting any pinning.

I'll give you the background:
  - The SGFC is in a closet for reasons I don't need to go into (and I have
    been successful with this method in the past)
  - I have LED lights (computer strips) running on a timer for 8 hours (again,
    was successful with this in the past)
  - The temperature fluctuates between 68-72
  - Humidity is high, over 95%

My concern is with the FAE being in a closet.  Maybe they are not getting enough airflow, but I haven't had problems with it in the past doing it through this method.

Anyone got any ideas?  Worried the cakes are going to dry soon.  Trying to post a pic, but it's been years since I have been here.  Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Anyone with any ideas?  Never had this problem in the past.  It's possible I birthed too soon as I did not wait a week after full colonization to birth.  I didn't recall that being necessary when I first got into this 10 years ago.

If you didn't wsit the consolidation weekthen it's going to take longer
and difficult to know how long. They don't look bad, or turning blue
from drying out. Just keep caring for them they might work out.

cakes will consolidate in the jars or in the fruiting chamber, it's why we say to wait so now you have been losing moisture from your dunk for over a week for nothing

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

Thanks for the replies.  Just going to leave it as is and keep misting periodically and fanning by opening/closing the closet door a few times a day.

I was, however, getting close to wanting to dunk them again for 24 hours.

Thanks to those who have chimed in.  Growing more and more concerned about these cakes.  Some of them appear really dry.  If I dunk them for 24 hours in water, do I risk losing the cake at all?

Unless they're getting blue stains on them from surface drying they're

Probably ok. I'm not sure what damage if any it will cause if you keep

dunking them.

Thanks rumfor.  Just going to continue to leave them I guess and maybe mist more frequently.

Only if it is a really deep swimming pool or something. Joking

You can redunk them but I don't see the point right now. One of the tools we use to use was bottom watering. Make a little pond for each cake out of a small lid or piece of foil and put some water in it and then set the cakes in the lid.

So an update here...finally found some pins underneath one of the cakes.  Just has taken basically two weeks to get to this point.  In the past it's usually only taken 4-5 days to see pins.
