    #8061768 - 02/23/08 05:57 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

after u make your casing and cover it and throw it in the dark is there any need to water it while it's in there like mist it, or should it have enough water capicity to help itself?

I never have, but before I cover it I give a good misting.

Less is more. Leave it the fuck alone and it will do fine.

Or listen to the PROS and mist it everyday, your choice.

If your casing layer was properly hydrated to "field capacity, there should be no need to mist while you wait for the recolonization to occur. Cover it up and leave it the hell alone.

if your casing layer looks dry, mist it..

what shroomy said :laugh:

i like to mist and fan daily.. i give it plenty of air so also give it plenty of misting.. working out pretty good as of right now :laugh:



what do you think? best pinset i've gotten on anything yet

Yeah I misted mine the other day... to add an extra question.. after you see 80% colonization do you path the whole thing and than put directly in fruiting chamber? I once heard Anno say you shouldn't see any mycelia growth before fruiting.

Popular trend says that you let 10-15% colonize. Most people throw em in the fruiting chamber when the valleys are colonizing. But if your strain is not particularly aggresive, you have a deep casing layer, or low temps, you may need to let a bit more colonize before fruiting.

What pro would give horrible advice like that?

Adjust your casing layer to field capacity, cover with foil, and leave the heck alone. Don't open it and don't mist. You want to lower CO2, introduce light, and provide massive air exchange all at once to synchronize the pinning triggers. Do this at 20% to 50% colonization of the casing layer.

ya i hella aint no 'pro' i'm just saying what works for me..

whats the 'right' way to do it might be different but i'm going to do it my way regardless..

i would listen to RR though if you want advice.. he knows what's up... especially to get the best pinsets and everything.. i'm just careless..

i would leave it the heck alone, but i'm ocd like that i want to fck with it everyday and check on it :laugh:

Get your humidity up to the mid 90's and they will pin better. You should mist daily. If you have the amount of air exchange the mushrooms require for best results, the casing layer will dry out if you fail to mist.
RR

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/7564428#7564428
Yes. You should be misting daily at least, or perhaps a few times daily. The only problem is if the pins sit there wet, with no fresh air. As long as your air exchange is good, mist away.
RR

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/6657123#6657123
You must have misunderstood. Mist daily with plain water. No peroxide. Save it to control cobweb outbreaks.
RR

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/6986353#6986353
You should not stop misting. Mushrooms are 90% water and the purpose of a casing layer is to supply moisture to the flush. Daily, or several times daily misting is required for large fruits and good performance.


http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/6970824#6970824
There's no such thing as 'fire and forget it' with mushroom growing. You need to check daily, mist, and inspect for contamination.

all of that is in regards to after the casing layer has colonized...once you want fruits to form. i'm currently going through the same thing right now, almost time for a casing layer for me, hopefully in a day or two, and i plan on just covering it up once i put down the casing for a few days before i put it into fruiting conditions.

i like to mist it and give it fae to keep cobweb away..

i kept the lid closed before and it started to smell fruity after a couple days so what i do is make a foil lid with a few small holes and cover them with a towel..

but that's just me.

do whatever works for you, bro.. you'll definitely be able to do way better than this i hope :laugh:

No response from RR, why am i not surprised. This thread needs to be stickied so chumps like him can be put in their place and unwitting noobs wont make the mistake of thinking the PROS are always right.

why flame RR? those above quotes were obviously said as advice after your casing has colonized and you have induced fruiting.

field capacity cover and let it set for 48 hours. once you introduce to fruiting conditions and your casing starts to dry mist. otherwise field capacity will carry it through. casings need lower humidity.

Wow, let's try to flame growers who do things you can't even dream of and then pass of their proper information in bad context as bad information. That's what this place needs.
