My New Setup...Updated...Small Harvest((PICS))!!

I built this after a long absence from the hobby.Custom made dome, with two air bubbler's running the length of the tank, via an elite 802 pump and hydro-ton of course. The cakes have been in there for about a week with about 12 hours light every day, 70 to 75 f, and constant 99 to 100 humidity with the pump running 24/7.They are birthed from mycobags... B+ AND AF is the strain from ralphsters...and no pins yet. Any suggestions??? I'm wondering if air exchange is hampering me...the dome just sits on top with a thin weather strip in-between...many gaps left purposely...in theory the stale co2 is forced out any space thats open...in theory..!

One week?! Thats crazy! This is something from my current grow-log:
Quote:
UPDATE: 3/21/07
Yesterday casings were cased with verm/peat. The two casings that were pasteurized are smelling great. I was afraid I was going to lose them but they ended up colonizing nicely. I must say I'm impressed with coir!
UPDATE: 3/28/07
All casing were placed in FC. Temp 74f - 76f / RH-90%
UPDATE: 3/31/07
Pins are forming! My pinsets are looking less that even but ive been surprised before so im keeping my fingers crossed 
3 days and pins were visibly forming.

I'm sure I still have a chance of them pinning...Could it be airflow??Should I cold shock them???

from looking at your cakes it seems like your humidity is too high or you need more FAE. you should see pins soon, there isn't any sign of contam so that's good.

actually on second thought I think your humidity is fine, i just think you need more FAE. don't cold shock or do anything. just be patient, that's the key to this hobby. let them grow, don't mist. try cutting back on your light to maybe 8 hours. you know, the most growth you'll see is in the dark.

AND remember-- 3 things trigger pinning: drop in temp, introduction of light, and FAE. (i think that's right!) so just keep that in mind-- i think your problem is FAE. you could even try going a little lower on the temp (below 70)

I don't want to cut holes in my dome cause it was too costly. Any other suggestions on getting fresh air in and keep contams out. They are receiving light from a fluorescent with a plant-bulb...and I have had it on 24/7 cause I had a crappy rope light in there ...figured it could use some real light.I believe I'M seeing some knots...not a good amount though and only on one cake...maybe the rest will follow soon.

its air exchange... I guarantee thats what it is... get more air flowing through that... the best way to get c02 out, because it is so much more dense, is to put holes towards the bottom of the side walls and put coffee filters or something over them... I have done that for a very long time and it has always worked fine and dandy... But remember, your humidity control will be a little different... you will loose more air, and also loose more moisture... you may have to mist it on top of those bubblers

I'm finally getting some pins on a couple of the cakes. Its going to be a really crappy Pinset. Also I just bought a diamond bit and drilled holes towards the bottom and filled them with poly fill....I too believed it was air exchange since my bags are in the same area and have stalled alot.

I only got two of my 4 fruiting....this weekend I'm gonna start my outdoor bed for the summer...finally warming up around here.Thats where they will probally end up since there not producing. I never have had luck with anything besides EQ...every time I try something else like B+ and AF as shown here I have problems.

Did you harvest, remove the remaining small pins, dunk it in water in the fridge, and then roll them in vermiculite again?
If so...I'd like to see your 2nd flush(es).

I think there just gonna end up outside once they finish..very seriously doubt there dried out...The mycobags suck...never had such shitty growth from a substrate...will not ever buy those bags again..Ill do casings or go back to jars...plus I got some mean green showing up. It was removed but Ill have to wait and see. Not too many more pins are showing up and one cake has not produced one pin or fruit.
