why dwarfed/cracked shrooms?

#444464 - 11/01/01 08:10 AM (22 years, 10 months ago)

what causes dwarfed shrooms, and what causes the caps to crack - background - they are cased (bottom layer 50% soil 50% verm, top 100% soil, as per shroom wizards grow guide.) being her first time casing, my pet mongoose's trainer skrewed up a few things, but is managing to get a semi-pathetic yeild; any help would be much appreciated. (she's fanning 2x per day (as work schedule permits), and giving flourescent light for 8 hours per day (though not sure if the time is significant, just the presence of light) - temperature is constant 72 degrees F, soil is being kept moist, (not wet, not dry), with once a day misting.

Your flourescent light might be drying the casings out too much. Try reducing the heat from the light some how.
