Ok so i picked about 20 aborts, and thats what the bruising is from, the veil started breaking on the big one so i picked that along with the few in that cluster...... the casing is actually the top 3rd of the cake i have fruiting, i laid a layer of 50 peat 50 verm down and then the crumbled 3rd of the cake then more casing.... its more of an experiment and i patched once and the next day i threw it in the FC.... mushrooms are popping up daily on that baby




What do you think of the pinset on the unrolled cake..... any comments suggestions.... its my first grow, i have many jars that will be ready to case in about 3 day

I think you may have taken it out of the FC too often / too early and the RH is too low .. good luck though

orchid, what makes you think that? I dont take them out much but i fan 3 times a day and mist when the perlite needs some moisture groomies the perlite is working great, i actually took it all out and re soaked it today because its much easier than respraying it and i find it catches up nicely after i fan and such

perlite is far from bad.. how can it be dirty? it sticks to everything you stick in it.. just like every other substance in the world this is easily defeated by little tin foil sheets or simply birthing your cakes on their lids, or even by the dish you case in
perlite is the future xD

Oi, perlite smells, a bubler is the same price and works better by adding airflow. IMO

perlite is fine once you rinse it in water, jsut dont breath in the dust that is in the bag when u first buy it, i have never thought it be that messy, even emptying it out into a colonder to rinse it. Never though that it was any hassle, empty out into a big colonder rinse and put it back in.
If your worried about being really clean then simply empty on a baking tray and bake it dry in the oven.
For beginers i think perlite is the simplest way to provide humidity until u decide to move on to something better ie coolmists bubllers etc which can take some tinkering around with to get right.
If ur only doing a small grow, ie 8 cakes at a time then perlite isnt that much hasle, until u start moving onto lots and lots of cakes and casings then i would say dump the perlite and move onto something more automated.
