i mist it 2-3 times a day by spraying the water up into the air and letting it gently fall onto the casing. i know its in a pmp but i still fan it after each misting.
i put it in the fc on the 23rd. does it look alright? too dry? too wet?
thanks for the input guys...

will the casing be 100% colonized before it starts to form knots?

Have you got a couple of bubblers under the hydroton?? this can help regulate FAE and add a few points to your humidity, i believe with 2 bubblestones you would forget about fanning. Just mist the casing when ever it looks a little dry, though if the humidity is right i believe your casing should stay moist.

Looks great! I think I can see knots forming. You should have some little baby pins soon.
My first bulk.
I have heard that foil round the edges isn't as good as black tape to stop side pinning. The foil can reflect light down the sides of the tray.
Good luck.

ill tape up the sides then. thanks shaggy.
yea there are 2 bubble stones under the hydroton.
i was pretty nervous about doing bulk and it seems that there is a very fine line between near saturation and under/over saturation so im working on that trying to get that right.
alot of conflicting threads also about misting just till pins form and misting all the way through. like veda said i think im just going to keep misting everytime it looks dry. i went a little skimpy on the casing layer only a 1/4" or so. we'll see what happens.
do any of you guys mist all the wat through the fruiting stage?

I followed Hyphaes pinning strategy (link in sig) and it worked for me.
Quote:
Hyphae said: Now once you see the myc. starting to poke through stop misting the casing has the perfect amount of moisture to carry you through the pinset, I still fan 3-4 times a day and by fanning I usually take the lid and use that to give it a few fans I suppose you could use one of those battery operated personal fans which may work better IMO and then a very light misting from a distance using a pumpup sprayer always! they when adjusted correctly produce a extremely fine mist If you do not have one of these then don't mist it's not that critical at this point.

i decided to just bump this again instead of starting a new thread.
i was just wondering about how long it takes to start seeing pins in doing bulk? this one in particular? are they just like cakes and they take a week or so before starting to see anything?
because its been a week now and i still dont see anything, i put it in the fc right after mycelium started to poke through the casing layer... do i need to just be more patient?
how long has it taken you guys to start seeing pins?

I had a smaller casing take 2 weeks to pin...almost chucked it out. As long as there are no contams though...keep on waiting and praying man. It should happen. Life has a way of working itself out and the fruiting is just one more stage in the shrooms lifecycle.
