straw casing taking its sweet time
    #8119718 - 03/08/08 12:56 PM (16 years, 10 months ago)

I have a large straw casing with a 5/8 thick layer of 50/50+ with a little perliteadded into it. It was performing fine. It started showing through the casing. I have shifted the casing some for patching, but it seems that the colonization has slowed for some reason.

I was a little low on buffer in the mix and added more before casing. I am sure it got to the 5% mark. I know you can add more but I did not.

Misting lightly occasionally with misty mate
temps are high 70's to 82F
almost ready for fruiting I just want the right pinset. any ideas on what might be holding it up.

temps are steady in the high 70's.
I have been misting around every 4 hrs, about 3 to 4x a day.
The casing still looks unoccupied so I will take a photo in the morning and post it to see if anything productive is happening and get some feedback

This also makes day 6 on the case run

I never case straw. Straw performs better in my experience uncased.

do you use your wax paper method on it instead. Its a full auto setup so any humidity is manageable.

Here is my fruiting chamber powered by a small full auto pvc thing. The lid was cut open and a peice of plexiglass laid out on some double sided tape. It seems to be working well, with a low watt hallogen bulb providing light.

That is a section of the white showing through. This grow is different then my old success's. The mycelium is not showing through so robustly. I am hoping for the best.

Ok here we are at problem part two.

Its been incubating the casing for 7 days and it has really uneven growth. Some areas are colonized all the way through the casing and some hardly at all. I checked the ph and it was 7.5 from 3 places on bin. I scraped the extra casing off the small section it does not want to colonize from?

fruiting conditions are trigged
78F with a coldshock
96rh
12/12 light from flourescent bulbs. the small ones that dont get hot. I think 6000K

The casing is pinning. It just did not colonize through at least one section of the casing.
