fear and loathing in the fc
    #7714063 - 12/04/07 06:00 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

i like a digi cam, so i will try to describe the best i can

let me say i had very little problems with cakes before trying casings. with an average of 3 flushes per cake but most 5 before contamination. the strain i am using is Tasmanian. the spors i bought were not from a shroomery sponsor, and i regret this, because the solution was quite diluted. i used wild bird seed here, and my own spore print. i do not own a glove box yet, but i am not having any problems with contamination. (out of twenty jars i only had one jar lost)

i removed a casing from my incubator 2 days ago and placed it in my fruiting chamber. it looks like it still is colonizing, through slowly. the fc is at 70' the humidity is at 90, and there is a bubbler for fae. perlite yada yada. i have a nice little hallogen bulb at top wich has been working just fine for my cakes. the light comes out to about 14 hours a day. how do i get this out of the vegitative state.

it was cased in 50/50 with some lime. i dont have any thing to check the ph with, but i assume it is ok because my problem does not involve not growing. at the bottom of the casing there is damp verm.

also, i just redid the purlite, and the rh keeps dropping. any idea why this would be.

i don't want to have to use my humidifier, because it is not a cool mist. (i got it for 9 at walli world, and could not pass it up)and futher mor i don;t have a timer to put it o an interval. i don't want the humidity at 100, as per every thing i have seen has said.

the room is cool, not the fc, so there is nothing dropping the temp inside the fc, so you can assume there is nothing inside the fc other then the casings and the bubbler. the light is not in the fc, but shine through a hole at the top.

i don't know what other information i can give.

Actually, 100% humidity is ideal, provided you have good air exchange.

If you don't have high enough humidity, then you probably have some standing water in your perlite, which LOWERS humidity. Drill some holes in the sides and bottom of the terrarium, both for air exchange and to make sure any water drains out, and your humidity should go to 99%.
