Well i birthed all of my cakes into my FC but only one seems to be producing fruits. The other have primordia or at least from what i ca see they do but i don't understand why im not even seeing pin formations. Some of you may remember my grow log which can be found here..
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/7043159/an/0/page/0
I just didn't see the need to bump that post again so i will make a separate post for this topic.
Anyhow here is the picture

Any ideas?

Only patience. You've got the right temps for fruiting, those look like B+ so just give em a little more light exposure and FAE if you're worried. Lookin' good. What are the blue dots though? Were they in the perlite?

give em a few more days. It's possible too that you just got a strain that doesnt fruit very well.

LOL naw. in my grow log post. i stuck these in the tub with ~2inches of wet perlite and 1/2 inch was still water. i was told i should drill holes all over my FC... Bottoms... sides... all over and get rid of the still water. So thats what i did. The blue specs are just bits of the tub but i didnt want to touch the cake to pick it off so i figured there not doing any harm... so il leave em.

Well, id try giving it a couple more inches of perlite actually. How often do you fan/mist?

i fan about 3 times a day and i dont mist at all. doesn't using perlite negate the need to mist? i was under the impression that you mist to produce humidity. since my humidity is anywhere from 97-99% at any givin time i have no need to mist.

they need as much moisture as they can get. For cakes I take a spoonful of vermiculite and put it on top of each cake and mist that like crazy till its saturated. I also spray the cakes a few times a day. Yes, I spray the cakes directly. It doesn't affect growth like people seem to think as long as you fan right after.

Blue stuff on the bottom seems to be the bottom of the tub? I might be mistaken....

ok heres another question then. if your misting is natural spring water better then tap or say distilled? I have a local spring i can obtain water from for misting and what not. i also have a creek i can go get water from as well. is there any side effects to using "natural" water from a source like that?

Just a small suggestion: "But I can't tell from the vantage point of the picture taken for absolute sure"
Hang your Hygrometer above your Perlite. Is it actually laying directly on the Perlite Layer?
It's reading 99% but that may not be actual RH. It's probably gathering it's intel from the moistened Perlite and not from the surrounding air.
One cake may have enough moisture saved up to help out the pinning and growth?
May need to up the RH inside the chamber as stated above. More Perlite. An inch or 2 more.
Just a thought.

Also, be careful with the clear Plexi-Glass Lid on the bottom side of the terrarium lid.
If your adhesive was to let go, we'll I think you know what kind of havok this could spell for you.

GL though, looking yummy.

Could you use caulk to fix that problem?

Caulk or Silicone is probably what he/she used.
But as I've read and heard from the mods (And What I Do Personally), that you might as well just make the terrarium lid hole smaller than your Plexi-Glass and just attach it to the top with Hot Glue/Caulk/or low fume Silicone for safety precautions.
"I totally agree, Better Safe than Sorry"
The way the terrarium looks should be of no never mind to you. Unless you are a tad bit Vain "You're so Vain, you probably think this song it about you" sorry for that.
But for real.

I've been doing a little research on RH. My above statement was sorry to say Incorrect.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_humidity Relative humidity is defined as the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor in a gaseous mixture of air and water to the saturated vapor pressure of water at a given temperature.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidity#Humidity_and_air_density Humidity is the amount of water vapor in air.
I believe that my statement above concerning "The Location of the Measuring Instrument" would only affect a Humidity Gauge and not a Hygrometer.
So if your gauge is saying 99% RH it's probably correct no matter where it is placed as long as it is inside the FC and not near a large Air Inlet.
But I would give it a calibration test using the "Salt Method" to make sure it's reading kosher.
Sorry for the misinformation. It had me thinking though. -NFI-
