Slow growth with PF Tek
    #27135340 - 01/08/21 01:46 PM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Hi all -

I've been doing the PF Tek for my third time and every time I have had little to no success with my yields. I started this last batch the first day of December and the cakes still haven't been fully covered in white mycelium. I am concerned as one of them have begun to pin and another has an orange color towards the bottom.

Would my best bet be to take what I have to a SGFC or should I try to let them continue growing? There has been no noticeable growth over the past few days. Any advice would be greatly welcomed and appreciated.

The mushrooms are growing in a closet and it is typically 70-80 F in my apartment. The air sometimes feels dry in the apartment, but I am unsure of what I could do about that.

Thanks

rlrmorris21

The humidity of the air in your apartment doesn't matter. All it means is when you move to the SGFC you might have to mist the cakes slightly more frequently.

The one that's pinning I would just move it to the SGFC, the orange looks bacterial to me. It's okay if it's a bit ahead of the others, it just means it'll be spent before the others as well.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you can still try to fruit the bacterial one, anything on the mushrooms when you put them in the dehydrator will be killed off. Use the search engine and try to find some threads about this.

Also, if you're growing in a closet make sure you fan the door a few times a day and try to leave it open when you can, especially for fruiting. If you can just straight up leave it open then just do that

I keep all of the cake jars inside of a plastic shoebox with a lid on as well, would that hurt there ability to grow due to the amount of air they can get from inside the box?

Thanks for the help

I'm also new to PF-TEK, but I think that you are supposed to put the jars on a shelf(or higher location) at room temperature and not inside a box.

I believe its your mixture you are using. Whats inside your mixture? Cause it doesnt like like vermiculite and BRF to me judging from the pictures.
