First Grow Pin Set (Cakes) * 1
    #26862957 - 08/04/20 04:18 PM (3 years, 5 months ago)

So I’ve been fumbling my way through what felt like an almost botched first attempt. I had gotten this rather large WBS cake from someone who tried their own cultivation and was overwhelmed with the yield. I cut it into what I thought were workable sized cakes and put them in a SGFC. I cannot speak in any way to the genetics. During the dunking, a few broke apart, and I just sorta kept the pieces together and ran with it. In hindsight, it seems like this type of cake should have just been cased, but I hadn’t read enough until I was well underway. I had all 6 sides with holes and for over 8 days there was very little action. (I did not think to document this part of the grow). Eventually what looked like aerial mycelia started growing, and then I discovered that I was probably not keeping the chamber far enough from the wall OR high enough off the ground. Unfortunately stealth is a bit of a requirement so I improvised. I realize what I had to adjust sort of defeats the purpose of the SGFC, but we’re live, so... I placed a small desk fan about 8 feet away from the chamber, not directly on it, just into the corner of the room. I have it on a timer and can switch it on as needed myself.  This seemed to do the trick and the added FAE kicked the cakes into gear. Within 24 hours the first discernible pins had popped, and another 24 hours the cakes were really sprouting. That was Thursday, now on day 14 since going into the chamber, and 5 days since the first pins arrived, the growth has exploded.



I’m happy to take any pointers for next time, I’ll definitely be taking spores of the second bloom, this flush is way more than I was anticipating.

At this point in time the best thing you can do is just let them grow. Don't over mist and keep up the FAE. :thumbup:

Before you start...Do you have a Pressure Cooker and a Dehydrator? I highly recommend getting both!

Those are great pin sets dude. I would just leave them alone, and keep up the humidity. Try not to over mist. Those are going to get huge if you just let them do their thing

Lots of progress in the last 24 hours, I let up a bit on the misting, I think I definitely was going a little too hard still. Also started doing more frequent but shorter fannings and I think most of them are doing fine now (there are 2 that look like they’re struggling to get enough air where the stems look kinda flattened).



Also here’s a secondary chamber I made for the broken ones, but swapped in one cake that was struggling to take off once the broken ones started moving. Finally getting some good pins.

Ok, learned some things for the next flush. I was definitely watering WAY too much, I didn’t realize just how lightly you need to mist once the fruit starts maturing. I pulled 2 premature caps that broke their veils on Wednesday night, and since I’ve been keeping misting to an absolute minimum (I also slowed down the fanning, I think I was getting an issue where the fruit was getting too wet and then drying out too fast. Some of them stems look like they had started almost dehydrating)

Since then the rest of the crop has recovered pretty well and I got my first legitimate veils breaking today.



I’ll check back again when the second flush happens. One question I haven’t really seen answered: How do I store my cakes while I let them dry/rest between flushes? Put them in some open air container? Keep them in the FC and don’t mist at all? It’s not clear in any of the teks what you’re supposed to do with them while you dry them.

After you harvest the first flush I dunk my cakes for 3 hours and put them back into the FC for another flush
