Inactive fruiting chamber?
    #27064349 - 11/30/20 10:53 AM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Hi, friends,

Using PF TEK I had strong colonization, with white mycelium throughout the cakes. Birthed, dunked, placed in fruiting chamber 8 days ago. Temp in the small, clean room was a consistent 80F. Misting and fanning 4 x daily, 12/12 full-spectrum light about 2 feet about the covered chamber. For a while I kept a cool humidifier in the room, but read somewhere on here that the room should be drier than the chamber to induce pinning, so that was removed 36 hours ago.

There are no pins or other growth so far, but there is a slight greenish tinge on some of the cakes (see attached). PF TEK instructions state that pinning can take up to 14 days; am I being overeager to expect action by now, or do you suspect some problem in the cakes?

I started a new batch of jars this morning in case my  first attempt has hit a wall.

Your advice is very much appreciated.

Thanks.

-T

Stop misting, cut FAE to 3x a day at even intervals. The coloration looks like bruising. You can test this by taking a qtip and wiping it gently on the area. If the color comes off it's contam, otherwise it's fine.

Keep 'em high and tight guys....
