did i mess something up? casing not pinning. HELP.. PLEASE>. SAVE ME..
    #5489194 - 04/07/06 08:16 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I have myc peaking thru evenly all over the top of my casing. Its NOT mold, I can clearly see the difference. Its just been about 7 days and I haven't seen any signs of pinning or progress.
AND
I took out all of my fully colonized jars from my incu and out of frustration I have the jars upside down in my closet on top of the terrariums, hoping they will pin in the jars.

What is the best way to get them all to pin at this point with the LEAST amount of risk of loss. I could cold shock but aren't my chances of losing them greater.. At this point i have 20 jars, all colonized for days now and NO mushrooms.. HELP.. PLEASE>. SAVE ME..

It can take 2 weeks to see pins forming.

If I'm reading this correctly you have some of your substrate in cases and some of them still in the jars? Why?

What are your growing conditions? Whattype of FC? One major mistake newbs like myself have made is not having enough FAE.

What is FC and FAE?

I have 2 terrariums, each equip with automatically opening and closing vents when fans are turned on, one intake and one exhaust fan  per tank that is controlled by a digital timer, the fans are turned on for 1 minute every 4 hours, 6 times a day, 7 days a week, In one terrarium I have high intensity blue led lights 460nm, in the other I have a wide spectrum sun fluorescent bulb, 1 inch of perlite on the bottom barely wet, dual "tropic-aire"  humidity raisers connected to  bubble tubs under the perlite, reptile tank heaters to keep everything at 77 degrees F, the humidity is at 93-96%, light is on for 16 hrs ( I was told this here ) until pinning starts, I cold shocked one cake that isnt pinning yet.

The other myc is I left in the jars becuase they colonized late and I just pulled them out. I dont know what to do with them, Last time i just left them in the jars and mushrooms grew.. I am hoping that happens again

WHAT SHOULD I DO!?? HELP PLEASE>> HOW DO I GUARANTEE MYSELF MUSHROOMS??

HELP!! THANKS :smile:

FC = Fruiting Chamber
FAE = Fresh Air Exchange

I think you need to be patient. Wait the two weeks. You're seeing myc popping through the casing (what casing mix are you using??) so that is a good sign.

It might be your FC. I tried using a terrarium at first too with the same Tropic Aire and perlite setup. I had the same problem where I had myc popping out all over the place, but no pins showing. I waited over 2 weeks with no pins. Finally I made myself a PMP and literally in about 2-3 days after placing those cases in the PMP I saw pins.

All of my other grows afterwards have only taken about a week or less to show pins after placing in the FC and my yields are improving with every grow.
