save me from ruin
    #6767508 - 04/09/07 09:03 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

the knots covering my pint casing recently began to darken and act like pins..from what I have read knots will develop into pins within 12-48 hours. 
Mine are very slowly making this transition with a few more darkened knots each day.  The most mature of these knotty pins are showing little to no difference in growth.  I believe this can be attributed to the low temps, for in my neck of the woods, it has been hanging around the 50's outside and inside between 68-70F. 

I know that cooler temps will slow growth and sometimes induce more pins. (not sure about inducing pins though...)

The temps are forecasted to warm up to about 70-72 later this week.  This would bring my terrarium closer to optimal temps.  I also read some info about internal moisture being a factor in stalled growth.  My casing consists of pasteurized poo only initial at field consistency with pasteurized MGMC, also at field consistency...kinda wish I would have vermed the bitch now....

My dilemma is...should I just wait for the warmer temps and hope it speeds these guys up, or will I being coming to a critical point (if one exists) where low/no moisture content within the casing will kill any chances of producing matured pins???  I plan to inject with sterile water as soon as tomorrow.  Should I wait for warmer temps or will I be chancing it either way with low moisture content???  If these things don't starting firing up when the temps are better I plan to inject with water regardless...Thanks :stoned:

If you are running dry, I would most certainly try and hydrate the best you can-- as long as you don't overcompensate and get it soggy... the problem may be/become inconsistent hydration-- that's what vermiculite is great for-- evenly, well-hydrated substrate consistency. It's kind of a "set it and forget it" moisturizer.

(Sorry, I'm not trying to rub it in on you-- but the stuff really is great)

:goodluck:

I know you're just trying to help brudda...At the time I could only afford a small bag of fine grade but was told this isn't the way to go...now I'm thinking, even with fine grade I would have been better off...

Let it be known, I'm still not 100% sure that moisture is the problem...but I do want to be prepared for the situation before it gets out of hand...

I'm curious what would happen if the casing did run dry?  Would it be more vulnerable to contam' and such?  I figure it can eventually be re-hydrated but I'm not that patient :crazy:...The outdoor bed loved me especially within the first few weeks of starting my grow...Always welcoming a jar or two :tongue:    Thanks

i think your sweatin it for no reason.

remember evaporation is important to pin formation, and a little 'rain' never hurt no mushrooms.

low temps slow growth, sit back be patient and enjoy the show.
