to much humidity or to much meddling...
    #5288236 - 02/11/06 09:45 AM (17 years, 11 months ago)

I'll do my best without pics... can't get digital camera to d/l the pics. Anyway, I have been cycling casings for a month or so now and My chamber has been altered in two ways...

First, was exactly like the poorman's pod that's automated... except with a water heater added...

Second, is the poorman's pod with small shelves and no geolite... Just water the 2 24" bubblewands and the aquarium heater. This method CREATES 100% humidity gauranteed... the thing is It might be too much for casings?

Well, ok I have 3 cow poo trays 2 were spawned from grain to grain transfers with brown rice... 1 Is from a newly colonized jar that I forgot to mark.. but basically spawned about 1/4th of it to this case... this casing took off and when it was fully colonized I cased thin layer of verm/pottingsoil... it grew threw that in 2 days instead of 3 I waited 3 instead w/ a small patching of over developed parts and threw it in the fruit chamber... it's been in there for 1 day now and is looking decent...

I also have a Tub composed of 1 1/2 pint jars and about 3lbs of horsepoo/ wheat straw and everything was picked from my pasture beside me... That one is my pride a.t.m. It looks great colonized whole thing in about 4 days... cased and 3 days completely even rhizo growth through the top.. lightly sprinkled the casing mix on top to patch and put in fruit chamber... been in for 1 day as well.

With a layer or two of saranwrapping with holes cut in it on the top which method (fruiting chamber) would me more efficient in producing the best pinset... I followed the tech to get a great pinset on the last 2 caseings... none have shown pins yet.

100%rh is too much for casings. go 85-90 i'd say. after that, i'd say to just do whatever gets you the best air exchange while keeping good humidity. light and temp will be the same in either chamber it seems.

you're saying the saranwrap is on the casings or on the chamber? if on the casings, take that shit off. it is going to cut back on air flow and you should already have proper humidity. if on chamber, that's probably cool, but i would prefer a lid with poly filled holes or something.
