help! myc wont stop growing P.E. casing
    #8008451 - 02/11/08 11:43 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

hey whats up everyone this is my first time posting, i cased a p.e. cake with jiffy mix, it colonized perfectly, no contams, but now the myc wont stop, i have had the casing in the fc for 4 days now, im worried about overlay, ive got 75-78 temp, 90-100 humidity, flourescent light 12/24, and constant gas exchange. what could be the problem, i even cold shocked for 12 hours before placing in to the fc.

Did you patch when the myc popped through the casing layer?
4 days isnt nearly long enough for overlay.

no i didnt patch, if by patch you mean putting more casing substarte on the myc. is this necessary? this is my first casing im just a little on edge.

Pictures would help!

By patching I mean adding some casing mix where the mycelium pops out first. Ideally you want the myc to come out even everywhere, this will give you a better pinset.

sorry i dont have a digicam right now, but the myc is pretty even right now, it covers the whole casing, you can still see the casing soil under it tho, how long do you think till i start to see pins? i also had a p.e. cake that i had in the fc for like 7+ days and still no pins, ive grown cakes before and never encountered this problem.

Give it lots of fresh air and daylight, these are pin triggers more than a cold shock.

Wait a while, you should see little white knots before you see pins form...Dont be worried.

make sure you get an analog one. and calibrate it before you use it.
