My First Pins! I owe it all to FAE!
    #7864924 - 01/11/08 12:54 PM (16 years, 21 days ago)

I have to apologize for not understanding everything you guys have told me this entire process, and I now understand just how important FAE is.

Basically, I have had some B+ cakes going for almost a month in my martha (running at 85-99% humidity), and just when I had given up hope, I threw a fan in the chamber last night to get some good FAE. Needless to say, woke up and overnight, some one inch pins have formed on each of the cakes.

OVERNIGHT!

So newbies, if you're listening, if your cakes aren't pinning and you don't know why, try a fan. Worked well for me!

**I'll throw up pics tonight. :smile:

Go and check your moisture,I'm guessing they are thirsty for a really good misting if you have a fan actually blowing on them

FAE is one of the things that causes pinning. Be careful not to dry out your substrate, check the humidity if you're fanning.
Anyway, congratulations!

I would, but the most pins are popping right out of the top of the cake. I guess I'll just keep "arc misting" until they get bigger, then yank em, dunk em, and do it all again!

2 month old cakes would probably be pretty dry though right?

Could I put them in a 1/2 inch layer of water so they could soak it up for a day or two? I think I remember RR sayin' I could.

yep. a thin layer in a saucer.
then you could put damp verm down and place the cake on top of that.
sorta like a one end case hahaha. at least itll provide some moisture.

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

My cake has been in the FC for almost 24 hours now and one pin is over an inch. However it started to pin in the canning jars, so I had an advantage. Crazy how quick they grow from the hair pulling slowness of the mycelium. Fun hobby... Since I don't own a TV and all I have to do besides going to the gym and playing guitar growing mushrooms has kept my sanity.

off topic slightly,

your not missing much, TV is crap infact i feel like going insane when i do watch it.

FAE is very important. Just be carefull you are not lowering your humidity too much and drying out your cakes

Haha, I am a pro with the 'Shop, but not this time. My girlfriend and I have the same digital cameras (got a deal on Black Friday), and she took mine by mistake. After I saw the pins, I basically tore through our house looking for it, but to no avail.

ANYWAY, got it now but I'm at work til 11p. After that, pics will come!

its amazing how shitty your results are when you dont have enough FAE, then get your fae right, and see INSTANT results... I mean, just like you said.. you will see a huge difference, if done correctly.. congrats

now just do some casings in that martha of yours and see you yield increase.. no offense, but a martha and cakes, just seems like a waste of a great FC... just keep it up...
