double casing dilemma w/ PICS
    #7901406 - 01/19/08 12:15 PM (16 years, 13 days ago)

Right now I have two casings in my FC, and one is a little further along than the other.
Here's the one that's furthest along:


and here's the second one:


As I have read, it is best to keep humidity at 95%+ to initiate pinning. The first picture (the most advanced casing) has already pinned and is at the point where I should be dropping the humidity,

HOWEVER,

The second one is JUST NOW showing only a few pins that formed and slight primordoria forming. Now here's my problem:

If I keep my RH up, the first casing won't fruit as well. If I keep the RH down, the second casing won't pin.

I'm using a coolmist humidifier which runs 4minutes every 3 hours and the temperature remains around 72-73 degrees fahrenheit. Lighting is 12 on, 12 off- and I do 2-3 FAE per day.

Any suggestions? I think I need to act pretty soon..

i didn't know that you were supposed to drop humidity when you are fruiting.. that's helpful.

if that is the case, then drop the humidity once you are sure that you get the first complete pinset for the first tray.. that's what i would do.. plus it would give you time for your second tray to catch up.

can't, first tray's fruits are already showing signs of veils breaking which I think is due to the high humidity.

Anyone who says to drop humidity after pinning is flat out wrong. Mushrooms thrive in 99% humidity from hyphal knot to fully developed fruits.

Absolutely! RR Beat me to the answer. Just keep the humidity up throughout the fruiting cycle.

I edited your post to remove your personal location for your own safety.  It's best not to advertise your location until you retire from any kind of growing that less-desirable:cop: members of society might be interested in.
