OK i have had my 4 cakes in my FC for about 6 days now and i started to only see pining on 1 cake on the very bottom when there was a little vermiculite left and it kinda looked like a casein i was wondering if i could take the other 3 cakes dunked them for 12 hours then use RR methods and roll them in vermiculite and then put them back in FC also how do i sterilize the vermiculite?

dont touch them yet.. give them a few more days.. if that doesnt work, then dunk and roll...
bake wet vermiculite at 350 for 30 min.. let cool.. then dunk and roll
how is your RH? How much FAE are you giving them?

You need to buy a humidity gauge to determine relative humidity levels. You determine FAE by how many times a day you pop the lid on your fruiting chamber and fan your cakes. If you had an an aquarium air pump, you could determine FAE by knowing that it pumps out (for example) 100 liters of air an hour. If the size of your fruiting chamber is 50 liters, you know that you are getting two full fresh air exchanges per hour. Mushrooms love fresh air. A couple fresh air exchanges per hour is desired, but you will want to at least fan your fruiting chamber out a few times per day. This removes the carbon dioxide from the air and replaces it with oxygen, which your mushrooms will thank you for.
Happy tripping!

this is my setup i have air going in and a fan 4 times a day and i have humid set up top full mist 2 minutes every 3 hours also question can to much co2 be bad for the cakes because I'm making a green house for casing and it is 4 shelves and I'm going to have 34 inch by 22 inch casing trays I'm going to put fans on each level and lighting and co2 discharge and humidifier setup

im pretty sure that the point of FAE is to remove co2 because mushrooms take in oxygen not carbon dioxide such as plants do.... so therefore the more co2 the worse the cakes will do.

im pretty sure that you cant give to much oxygen but try to be moderate.

Don't pipe O2 into your FC. It's dangerous and the benefits are minimal.
