a lot of casings !!!
    #5509718 - 04/12/06 08:26 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

here are a few pics of the casings i just put in my martha (2/3 COIR, 1/3 VERM.) these are my 1st casings so i am experimenting half of them patched then incubated a couple more days and the other half i didn't do anything to. the only problem i have is keeping the humidity up more then 90% i have a cool mist running 24/7 on the low setting and a ultrasonic running for 30 min. 4 times a day. should i run the ultrasonic more? or will that cause to much moisture???

From what i've read in the past, 2/3 coir in a casing is WAY too much... but i could be wrong here.

Seems like most people agree it should only be like 30%, otherwise you get overlay problems.

is my humidity to much at 90%? for some reason i thought it had to be like 95% - 100% for pinning then drop it down a little after that for fruiting. if anyone else has a setup like mine let me know what works best for you...

I only run my coolmist and my taylor 1458 reads 90% all the time.

If I were you, I would only run your ultrasonic for 3-5 minutes every now and then to keep the casings from drying out, but don't go overboard.

again these are my 1st casings and i wanted to get some input to see if this is normal... here is a pic from yesterday when i put them in my FC



and 24hr. later



i have another few that look like this that i put a very thin patch layer on but can someone tell me if this is normal or the beginning of overlay? i only put a top casing layer on this one if that makes a difference

since this only happened overnight should i patch? do you think that would help since the myc. hasn't had time to harden?

The casing you have there will have little benefit compared to using no casing at all. You want the casing to look like this before pinning:



See how it's colonized but not overlaid.
