ok, i moved the FC to underneath my house (kind of a basement/crawl) lol. It's about 65 down there and i've already noticed a HUGE increase in humidity inside the chamber.

Alrighty, here is the chamber in it's new home down in the "dungeon" lol. We have sort of a basement/crawlspace, pretty much just the water heater down there, and a small area to walk around, the rest is open crawlspace. very damp, and very cool down there.







As you can see, no problem with keeping humidity up down there. The temp is at a steady 69 degrees with the light on. The lamp is just a clamp light from walmart, with a 150 watt bulb. Without it on, the temp drops to around 64-65. So i leave it on all the time to keep the temp closer to 70.

No sign of pins yet, although i do notice the mycelium is getting fuzzy. Being outside the confines of the glass jar is letting it grow outwards.

5 days in the chamber so far...no pinning yet, just some more myc growth. Got LOTS Of mycelium growing on the bottom of the cakes now too. Guess they like all that moisture from sitting directly on the rock

I am following the tek, which stated to place the cakes directly on the rocks.

They do get a little condesation from so much hummidty at night when the temp drops. that's the water droplets you see. during the day the temp rises a bit and that goes away.

Maybe its just me, but it looks like you got a contam. Please correct me if I am wrong. Plus, the cake looks soaked! Once again, thats MHO.

way too wet, I am with holesnype, go and check out the contam forum. I haven't seen that brown stuff on cakes before. Don't know if it is a contam but it is something to look into.

I had an orange contamed cake once, better watch it. Also, damp basements are great places for mold. You should think about misting with a hydrogen peroxide solution before they start pinning maybe.

does anyone have any idea what would be causing this to take so long? I've got minimal rhiz. growth and only ONE pin so far.

It's been about three weeks now since the first cake was put into the fruiting chamber.

Only thing i can think of is that i birthed a little to early and the cakes weren't colozied in the middle or something...but that's my only conclusion i could come up with.

Well, after learning about contams and sterility the hard way (lol) I am back on track!!

I've got 9 PF jars currently in the incubator. I inoculated them using an LC of B+, and put in 4 cc's per jar of LC.

Here are some pictures.

This was the next evening after inoculation


And this was five days after inoculation




LC rocks, so much easier and better then using spores. lol.
