Need advice. Brf cakes not fruiting in sgfc.
    #26714842 - 06/02/20 06:40 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hey shroomery, first time grower here. I followed the brf tek exactly to the T with a Golden teacher syringe and a B+ strain, pressure cooked my jars, inoculated, waited 4 and a half weeks for pinning and when cakes were fully colonized I decided to fruit them. I made a fruiting chamber using perlite and a tub container, placed foil squares and birthed and dunked my cakes for 24 hours in distilled water and rolled them in dry vermiculite. There were no signs of contams and cakes smelled earthy and good. After fruiting them in the chamber for 2 weeks and consistently fanning and misting to cause evaporation, only 2 of my 12 cakes started to fruit in the first few days and I harvested the fruits off of them. I got about 5 grams dry out of them, and the rest of the cakes did not pin and if they did the pins were aborting. My humidity level was relatively high, not sure how much but I missed them about 2-3 times a day and fanned them right after. When the perlite got dry I soaked and strained it once and put it back inside of the sgfc . When building my chamber, I made plenty of holes on each side and lid but not the bottom of the tub because I was afraid they would dry too quickly. The cakes received ambient light during the daytime, and no light during the nighttime. The 1-2 cakes that did fruit only produced a few mushrooms with the last ones actually reducing in size and stopped growing after. They still smell good, so I don’t think it’s a contamination. My question is: is there any way to save my grow and maybe use the brf cakes to spawn bulk by grinding them up and following a bulk spawn tek or is it too late and the cycle has ended? Also please let me know where I went wrong My predictions is that it may not have gotten enough oxygen, but after coming to the realization I used a fan in my room to circulate more air flow from about 10 feet away towards the tub for the next few days and continued fanning and misting. Thanks in advance for your time and advice! Here are some pictures:

I’m not a cube grower, but a couple things come to mind.

What temperature is your fruiting chamber at?

I believe dunk and roll is used to rehydrate *between* flushes, not usually before the first.

But you should be able to use the cakes as spawn if you wish. Grinding isn’t completely necessary, you could simply crumble the cakes by hand. Get some manure and start an outdoor grow.

The temperature of my fruiting chamber is somewhere from 70-80 degrees, no higher than 80 no lower than 70. Not sure on the exact temp but I live in a low humidity high temperature state and my AC is always on 77. Thanks for your advice, will try to spawn bulk and if it doesn’t grow might just restart. Also I didn’t know I’m not supposed to dunk them but I read somewhere it helps the cakes rehydrate after long periods of inoculation.

Trim the foil back, mist directly on cakes if theres no fruits, and lightly mist when there is fruits. Heavily mist the perlite. Keep the cakes moist but not super wet.  Give it more time.

did you ever get more shrooms?  what was the problem, or did you ever find out?
