I'm not sure I seen puppy pad tek. Put that thing into a water tub and give it the moisture it deserves.

I second this, your mycelium looks dry as fuck.

It’s basically a shotgun fruiting chamber with a soaked puppy training pad instead of wet perlite. The pictures are deceiving there is literally moisture on the entire cake. How would I create a water tub with the set up I have ?

Same thing without the holes... and pet supplies. Just use water. I put a mosquito ring product in the water to stop the itching.

Another thing you have to keep in mind is how much space is in container. Two cakes in a 60qt. is not good. Need to match environment according to cake volume.

I think your cakes look healthy. Any new pics?

I think DV8 was saying the tub is a little big, not small. A water tub is just a tub with water on the bottom and a rack to raise the cakes above the water, works great :rockon:

Ahh. I have them on a rack raised above the pad. I think I’ll add more water to make sure they have enough moisture.  What about the temps? I have it running 71-73 currently.
Thanks guys.

Temps are fine, and you can just remove the pad and add water to the bottom and then you have a water tub :strokebeard:

Johnnyripe said:
Should I harvest all of these now or do a staggered harvest?




Depends, want prints, then wait and only harvest the ready ones. Want to re-dunk the cake and hopefully start a new flush? Want to do fresh tea asap??

It's your call really, I would probably harvest the ones that are ready and leave the rest unless they seem to be struggling because of lack of water in the cake.
