Casing Question
    #5973580 - 08/17/06 05:09 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

This is my first attempt at casing. I followed instructions on what to do, but it's been almost two weeks, and still no pins. Would the thickness of the top layer affect the time it takes it to pin? Thanks for your input guys.

how thick is the casing layer? and how thick is the substrate? I just harvested my first flush from my first casing and it took OVER 3 weeks to see pins. but then i was picking tons of fattys a week after that! I think i wasnt watering mine enough for the first couple weeks, then i sprayed it down real good so the casing layer looked pretty close to saturated and they popped out shortly after that. How often have you been misting and fanning?

Thanks for the info. I'm starting to see the first micelum breaking the surface of the layer, so it's a sign that I'm not too far from pinning. I sprayed the layer and turned my humidifier on to make sure it gets plenty of moisture. I'll post some pics when I get this thing growing.

Just make sure your casing layer isn't over 1/2 an inch. Even just 1 inch, and it will probably be a disaster.
