My terrible loss?
    #5316437 - 02/19/06 01:04 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

Hi everyone, I've been reading around on the boards for awhile, and have attempted a few cakes which have come out quite well. The information I have found on this site has helped me through it all.

Unfortunately, I have never read anything about the mistake I made on my last project. I'm posting in hopes that others will see this and not make the same error, as well as to find the best remedy for my situation.

As I said before I have grown quite a few cake's (b+) that have turned out well. Recently I decided to try a different strain (GT) and a simple vermiculite casing. My terrarium is a basic 10gal fish tank set up with a 50 gal air pump rigged up to it, and a heating pad to keep the temperature up. After the incubation period for 4 pints of wbs I set up a small casing with just vermiculite for my first attempt.

Everything was going great, the myc broke through nicely and many pins started forming. Last night I was doing a routine fanning with the electric fan I have mounted above the tank, and decided since the closet temp was so cool that I would try the fan with the lowest heat setting (it has a built-in heater) to keep everything warm while the lid was off. I left this blowing unattended for 5-7 Min's. When I came back to check on it the terrarium temp was higher than I expected at 84 deg, and it had cleared off all the humidity from the sides of the tank, which surprised me a little. But I figured at just 84 deg there probably wasn't any harm done. So I switched it back to the fan setting and sprayed the walls down to bring the RH back up, and placed the lid back on.

Unfortunately the next morning I woke to find 90% of the pins were blackened on the casing and the few cakes I had in with it. I can only guess that the heat must have dried them out to much. I don't know where to go from here. Is there any chance of recovery, or are they lost for good? I'm guessing my only option is to try and clear out all the black looking pins, wet it down again and hope for a nice second flush- But I would like everyones input.

thanks

yah, if it looks like the majority of your pins aborted, clean the whole thing off, maybe dunk it for a bit, and put it back in the FC to set some new pins.

i really am glad you came back to us instead of taking the other path. *hug*
