Air holes for colonisation * 1
    #26631418 - 04/27/20 05:36 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hi all,

So I'm on day 14 after inoculation, the mycelium growth started off strong and the cake was almost covered after 5 days but since then it seems to have stalled completely, there's a couple patches on the cake that aren't colonising...

What gives?

I've read online about removing the tape from the air holes where I injected spores to get some air flowing in there but worried about contams if the mycelium isn't strong enough to fight them off, do you guys think removing the tape is a good idea?

I can't exactly shake the tub up, it's packed pretty condense so shaking doesn't really achieve much.

Thanks!

I usually don't use tape. I just leave the tin foil on. Micropore tape is the best thou.

Can you show any pics? There could be an issue with the cake mixture you made.

Foil can allow moisture to build up under and eventually get to your dry verm layer rendering it useless.

Sorry LC, just seems like one of those days for me. Haha but to each his own.

See this is the thing, I have no idea what the cake mixture was.. it was a kit I bought online (I know I know, terrible idea)

Waiting for the ingredients to arrive so I can make my own..

That's a pretty cool kit. I would think that venting tape on the top would be good enough.

Sockidin, I never had an issue with that but that's just me being lucky :wink:

That tape on top is your filter and it should allow for enough GE to finish up.
