HELP ME PLEASE!!!
    #7793180 - 12/23/07 04:50 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

I have been growing some hawaiian cubenis for awhile now and i can't figure out why they arn't getting over 1 1/2''.
I got the spores from ralph (thanks ralph) and injected 3cc into each of my 2 quart rye grain jars. AAfter about 3 weeks they were 100% and ready to case.
I put a 1/2'' layer of verm. down then 2'' of substrate then 3/4'' of 50/50 casing soil from mushy mart. (verm and peat moss with oyster shell to regulate the ph

this is all in a small rubbermaid container that sits inside a larger rubbermaid container lined with peralite for help with humidity.
mist 2 times a day and leave an inch gap on both sides of container for air flow.
temp stays at 65-73F
humitity 75%

So why arnt they growing any bigger than 1 1/2'' in 7-10 days?!?
And why have I had only about 15 pins?

Any input greatly apreciated.
Thanks

Your humidity is not high enough, the mushrooms will be drying out faster than the mycelium can feed them water,

You will want to get that up higher, 90-92% is pretty ideal for casings as long as the casing layer is kept moist.

You dont need to have your casings in a tub inside your FC, you need to have as much surface area of perlite exposed to get the most humidity, u can simply sit your trays ontop of the perlite,

Better yet make a platform from chicken wire to get the casings off of the perlite, this should allow more water to be avaporated into the air.

ok, then make sure you have enough well mositened perlite, 3-5 incehs of well rinsed and drained white perlite.

You will also need lots of 1/4" holes in all 6 sides to help provide FAE (and can also help RH by circulating air alowing mosture to avaporate into the air)

A well made fruiting chamber should hold 95% humidity, 75% humidity seems rather low, my ambient rh is 51%, at 75% is like not having any humidification almost
