casing without myc on top
    #5889830 - 07/23/06 07:30 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Hello, just a quick question. iv'e seen pic's were the srhrooms are allready growing and yet the casing has no myc growth on it. how is that possible. the rule is once the myc starts to pop threw a little. you put it in the FC were it still grows alittle more. and how would they grow when you need light to hit the myc to help trigger fruiting along with fresh air, and temp drop? thanx

as far as i am aware the key is to have the casing layer colonized beneath the surface....u do not want the casing surface colonized

I never heard that. i know you don't want so much that it get's overlay.
i was told that the myc needs to have light to start pinning. i was told that a soon as the myc breaks through, adding light will cause it to knot and begin pinnig. maybe not though. thanx.

Light easily penetrates half an inch or so below the surface of a properly prepared loose casing layer. That's why brighter lights stimulate more pin formation than dim lights. Many growers apply the casing layer, then immediately place into fruiting conditions, although pinsets are better if you allow it to partially colonize.

In my experience, full colonization of the substrate, an increase in air exchange simultaneous with the naturally occurring drop in CO2 levels that occurs at full colonization, and light are all pinning triggers when growing cubensis or other warm weather tropicals. Timing those three factors is crucial for best results. Personally, I've found no correlation between temperature drop and pinning in these species, although other experienced growers do report such, and of course I respect their knowledge and experience.
