[PE] No pins after 11 days

s2b 11 days ago, and i’m still not seeing pins. i know PE is a bit slower than most strains. do i just need to be more patient, or am i not giving it the right conditions? i’m misting about 1-2 times a day to make sure there’s a bunch of small water beads on top of the surface, so not sure if i’m over misting? i do have a portable ac unit in the room and don’t know if that’s drying out the surface quicker. i have the tub in the closet while the ac unit is on the other side of the room

so if there’s no beads on the top, but the cake isn’t dry, i don’t need to mist?

Leave it the fuck alone.
Correct if you don’t see microdroplets all over the surface than you can mist.

okay that’s kind of what i been doing. i see small droplets in some parts of the cakes, but not in other spots. should i mist if that’s the case or only mist if like 75% of the cake doesn’t have small droplets?

you want the surface to have an even layer of beads without pooling. if i notice dry spots in my tubs like that, i just try to mist that spot specifically

Hey man. I've got some PE brf cakes that I put to fruiting conditions 11 days ago as well. Keep us updated and I'll let ya know how mine goes too. This is my first go at PE and like everyone says, it can take forever. My patience is maybe too thin for this sport lol

PE is definitely not the cube to grow if you’re in a hurry

My cakes were super fast to colonize yet have been slow to pin.
I've got some B+ jars going now and they seem to be quite a bit slower to colonize. How was your colonization time for B+ compared to PE?

hard to say, it was 2 years ago, and was my first grow. did an all in 1 grow bag, but if iirc, about 2 weeks to see some growth, then shook that up, took about another 2 weeks to fully colonize, then it took about 1-2 weeks to start seeing pins

PE can take 3 weeks to a month to pin after spawning

I've made so many noob mistakes and choosing PE for my first PF tek is among them lol. But, things look really good so if my patience holds it'll be worth it.

My very first attempt was with GT in a grow bag and it didn't go well at all. I can't wait to see how your grow here goes. I'll be putting some PE to agar if this grow goes well and I'll be trying a bulk like yours. Good luck

I've been growing B+ for the past 2 years and about to attempt a PE grow. Good to know I'll need to wait a bit longer for pins. My B+ grows almost always pin in 12 days from S2B.
