Pf-tek fruiting and conditions questions
    #26950008 - 09/22/20 07:54 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Hey Everyone. So I started a pf-tek grow (cambodian) about a month and a half ago and birthed my cakes 6 days ago after a week of consolidation. I started to notice some growth in the mycelium and from what I've seen on this board is that it could be aerial mycelium. My question is, from the looks of these cakes and my set-up, does everything appear to be going ok? Is aerial mycelium a bad thing or a sign that I should be adjusting conditions? I just want to know if I'm making the right moves or am I fucking something up.

As far as my routine and my set-up goes, I built a SGFC-Mono hybrid in hopes of using it as a monotub after I have some clones from the original Pf grows, as well as learn the process of cultivation and what to look for. I've misted once in the morning and once before bed as well as a couple times randomly when the surface of the cakes look dry (or without droplets). I've started to put a small fan on for a few hours in the morning as well as opening the doors of the closet because I was worried the tub wasn't getting enough FAE because of the small space. I also loosened some of the polyfill which resulted in some dry rings around the holes which is a good thing? Right or wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

cakes are resilient. its a waiting game at this point. next time you dunk and roll your cakes use the burial technique. after a 24 hour soak i like dropping them in the bag of verm and then pressing verm onto all the sides of the cake. then carefully remove the cake from the bag and gentley shake excess verm off.

ive had pretty good success with this method and i think it creates more spots for moisture and evaporation which increases pinning.

Climate in that tub looks really humid (which is nice) thus when cakes are evaporating off very slowly it can be good to cut back a lil on the misting as well otherwise you will drench the cakes and mess up the conditions. But looks good so far to me :thumbup:

Thanks JHOVA. Yea I’m definitely going to put some extra effort into getting the Verm to stick to the cakes better on the second flush.

Thanks Mateah. I think you’re right about the slow evaporation. I’m going to cut back misting once a day for a couple days and see what happens. I remember reading your humidity chamber and water tub teks a little while back. I already had this tub drilled out so I went with this. I’m gonna give the water tub a try one of these next runs.

I went back last night after I made the post and may be seeing some primordia develop? Fingers crossed. Thanks for the help/validation. I’m still learning to see what the myc is telling me so all the help I’ve been getting on here is appreciated!
