Pinning question
    #5769112 - 06/19/06 06:17 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

For those who have grown rice cakes:

What was the longest time that you ever had to wait before pinning started after you put them into the fruiting chamber?

Wow, did you get a decent yield, though?

^^

and as far as brf cakes go... i guess i had a decent flush.
i'm going to have my hand at casing soon though, because brf cakes just too much time for so little yield.

but yeah, i've gone just about 2 weeks w/o pinning, then all of a sudden they started... i just didnt have my pinning triggers right at all...

I read you can put the cakes in a refridgerator for a bit to induce cold shock pinning.

you can also just drop the temp 10 degrees to "cold shock" them... read the cold shock explaination

Well, good luck on the casing technique, Liamtheloser.

If you are growing cubensis, cold shocking does nothing. If you want faster pinning, expose them to light at 50-75% colonization, don't dunk till after the first flush, go right into the FC at birth with a DEC--and make sure the conditions are right in the FC. Even with all that, nothing is guaranteed.

What is a "DEC"?

(Normally I'd try and look it up in the glossary, but I can't seem to look up any other terms past the letter "A" right now.)

Sorry, that's double-end casing: adding a moistened bottom layer of vermiculite (or other casing materials) about the thickness of a jar band and a thin top layer to a PF cake. It's a good way to feed water to the cakes. You can also roll the cake in vermic. for a nice micro-climate. Dunk the cake in clean water for about 24 hours in the fridge after the first flush, then repeat the DEC and rolling--just use a canning jar for this (with no holes in the lid). You can dunk at birth, but the cold temps (while staving off contams) will delay pinning a few days. So it depends on yer needs.
Use a clean syringe or eye dropper to feed the casings. Once you see pins, stop watering. Less is more with this really, as a lot of newbies drown their cakes and then wonder why they got aborts and tiny fruits.
