I am brand new to growing my own, and I have 10 cakes in a terrarium with ultrasonic humidifier. Only one cake is pinning and I think I have a dead pin cause the top is black but it keeps growing. Also have some weird grwoth on a few at the top. Any help would be great, thanks guys

whats the weird growth look like on the top?

Cool set up by the way.

the top of the pin is really dark but not like black black. It looks kinda firm but i dont want to touch it, lol. Im still so paranoid about contams. Started off with 22 jars and im down to 10 due to lipstick and wetrot. If it was dead would it keep growing? its so freaking thick and continues to grow by the day. Thanks on the compliment on the setup, i love how it looks, just hope it works.

sounds fine, from the sounds the pin is just dark. They tend to be darker at first and then the color sort of mellows out a bit as it grows. If its fruiting, all sounds good then.

Air Exchange, Take a lid from one of the tops, and use it to fan out the old air in the fruting chambers, do this 3 times a day or more if you have time.

fanning should help alot. if you're an automated kind of guy (and it looks like you might be) there are various set ups you can use to fan for you.

yea i was going to do that to when i started i got the idea from erowids. but if your just going to do fruiting chambers like your you can easily get by with just having 3-5" of rinsed well draind perlite in th bottom of your fc and set your cakes on some chicken wire like you have. then you just mist a few times a day and fan them to give them their frequent air exchanges they need. its alot cheaper. ultrasonics are way over kill for your setup.
