Welcome to The Shroomery. If it doesn't get to hot it should be fine. Keep us posted and post lots of pix.

this is a Good tek...I think the temp will NOT get above 85. the element itself is pretty cool  the touch doesnt hurt/burn if u touch it

I wouldn't want the temp to get above 80. Some may but I think thats to high. Gives more room for contaims to set up house.

After the dunk roll them in verm get a good layer on them. them lightly mist them enough to get the verm wet but not so wet that the verm washes off.

Heating the air actually makes it more difficult to maintain a high RH. Relative Humidity is just what the term implies - the amount of humidity RELATIVE to the maximum amount that can be held by air at that temperature. The hotter air gets, the more humidity it can hold. For this reason, if you take 100% humidity air and heat it, the air will have the same amount of water vapor in it, but since it now has "room" for more, the RH will drop.

It seems like it shouldn't matter, since it's the same amount of water vapor in the air, but it does. The more "room" for water vapor there is in the air, the faster the evaporation rate will be for everything exposed to that air. You are apparently maintaining 100%RH, but you should understand that this is despite the heat, not because of it. Your perlite is hopefully bearing most of the burden of increased evaporation to maintain the RH, but be aware that you cakes will be losing moisture at an increased rate as well. Keep up with the misting (but don't allow standing water on the cakes of course).

Heating a tub can often cause condensation on the inner walls since the cooler air in the room will slightly drop their temperature. For this reason, temperature adjustments should be done to the room as a whole, instead of the FC. Unless your room is fairly cold, you probably don't need heat at all. Temperatures in the low 70's are ideal once the cakes are birthed. Low-70s temps are thought to help stimulate pinning (although less so than good FAE) and the lower temps are less conducive to contaminant growth.

Speaking of FAE (fresh air exchange), are you getting enough? Don't trust those bubble-wands to give you enough air. Very few people use them anymore since they seem to have negligible benefits. You'll need to fan and provide ventilation regardless of whether or not you are using bubble wands. Poor FAE will make pinning more difficult, limit fruit size, and make contamination (especially by cobweb) very likely.

It sounds like you've done a good job of reading all of the articles about growing cakes, but don't make the mistake I once did of assuming that they could be trusted as gospel. The articles tend to be a bit old and don't reflect the huge amount of new techniques and knowledge developed by online communities like this one. Many of the ideas in the old articles are based on beliefs that have since been debunked and many new, better methods aren't even mentioned in them. The articles are a decent way to start, but you'll benefit hugely from dedicating a few nights to searching through posts on this forum and in the forum archive (the archive is located at the top of the cultivation forum index). Use the hell out of the search engine too - if you try to search for an answer, you'll find not only a dozen great explanations of what you need to know, but also answers to more questions that you didn;t even know you should be asking.

To get an idea of how much things have changed since The PF Tek and the Magic Mushroom Grower's Guide were written, take a look at this video. It's 4 parts, but it will help you with cakes immensely:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHJQrsZFQdE
That video reflects quite a few new ideas that conflict with the older teks. The techniques in the video have been used by plenty of posters on this board to greatly increase their success, so there is good reason to believe that the old articles got a lot of things wrong.

thanks power i have my fc in my basement.it IS finished no mold or mold smell avarage temp is about 65 i have read that bubble wands eliminate fanning but i understand physics also i plan to fan 2or 3 times a day.condensation builds on the sides bot not the top (SO WATER WILL NOT DRIP DOWN ON MY CAKES mt temp at the perlite layer is 77 at the top (where the element is reads 79 too hot?

It's not harmfully hot (my temps are in the high 70's, but in this southern state, I'm not paying for more AC), but I don't believe you are gaining anything by heating it up to that level. If you just heat to the low 70's, you'll lose nothing, possibly improve pinning, and make contaminants unhappy.

Having lower temperatures near the bottom of your FC may cause a problem. If your cakes are cooler than the air in the FC and your humidity is around 100%, condensation can form directly on the cakes so you'll have the same problems as drippage or over-misting.

In part 3 of that video series I linked to, you'll see a terrarium design that is generally accepted as an excellent, if not the best perlite tub design. It's nicknamed the "Shotgun FC" because it has literally hundreds of 1/4" holes in it for FAE. This should give you an idea of how much more FAE you need than what most old articles seem to state. Take the bubble wand FAE idea with a grain of salt. It's old and mostly abandoned. I had 2 bubble wands in my first FC because it seemed like a great idea from what I read. They're collecting dust somewhere now - I just drill lots of holes and fan when I can.

hey guys i gotta crazy idea,possibly a new tek. it may sound crazy but who knows?it might actualy work. ok so here it goes.live myce will colonize agar right?what if you took a small pin say 1/2 an  inch cut it flat where it meets the cake.then stick the pin in the agar?the myc is still alive so it should colonize the agar right? would the pin grow to a mature shroom or will it just rot?like i said sounds CRAZY but who knows

about that pin on agar. RR has done this. Its like cloning, myc will grow all around the pin. Im not sure if the pin matures, but he has proved that it didnt rot.

Cakes will get blue by bruising or from not being hydrated. Just put some damp verm on top of them. Even if thats just bruising, it is still good for the shrooms. If more blue shows up then re-dunk them.

Dunk them, rinse them under the tap, and then roll in DRY verm. Wet verm does a lousy job of sticking to the cakes. Dry verm sticks evenly, just like breading chicken. Once you roll in dry verm, put them in the FC and hydrate the verm by misting. Mist a few times over the course of a few hours. Don't saturate the verm all at once since too much water will make the verm just wash off.

Putting extra verm on top is a good idea. This will be easiest if you use the part of the cake that was on the bottom of the jar as the top in the FC. It already has a shallow bowl shape to it. Use dry verm for this too and use as much as you can without the verm falling off.

Like Banned from the site not to return...

Like Banned and Good day... Its easier to just keep the name or pay to change it, and if you pay while your at it you may as well Support the shroomery community and keep it up and running

1-2 to ive used up to 5 per small jar... (RR will just yell at that like he did another thread where I tried to help!)

Craigslist in your area is a good place to start... I got my 23Qt for $25.00 off craigslist.

Rules say no offsite links (another reason for Grumpy Ol'RR to yell at you)

i don't really see how this can be the case. if you have 2 18inch bubble wands running 24/7 how can't that be enough FAE? people do sandbags and monotubs all the time and they are never opened and fanned. i can see if you don't have the pump running long enough, but i don't see a reason to not run it 24/7 and if you do i would think that would be more than enough FAE. i'm totally open to being wrong about this, but i'd like to hear details as to how if i am. thanks

There's no problem with running the bubbles 24/7 - that just might not be enough to do the necessary job. Alot of the monotubs have a great deal of ventilation. The ones with only a few holes often have holes with a 1-2 inch diameter. It doesn't seem like alot, but consider that a 1" hole has the equivalent area as 16 1/4inch holes. A 2 inch hole is the same as 64 1/4holes. This means that they actually have a similar amount of holes as some shotgun tubs.

I forget the actual numbers, but ideally you want to have the entire volume of air exchanged in the growing environment at least once an hour - I think it might even be several times an hour. Small fish tank pumps just don't seem to do this.

That's IDEAL! Don't even try top warm it up. Cubes handle temps up around 80 without problems, but they do just as well in the low 70's. Contaminants, however, greatly prefer the higher temps. Cooler temps like what you have also might have a slight benefit in the pinning dept.

Congratulations! Those look real nice. EQ or B+? I would have to say, it doesn't matter. You're probably going to have to wait until you can use The Marketplace before you can solicit for print trading. I have another who knows how long! Oh well... Nice mushrooms, good job! :congrats:

Speaking of FAE (fresh air exchange), are you getting enough? Don't trust those bubble-wands to give you enough air. Very few people use them anymore since they seem to have negligible benefits. You'll need to fan and provide ventilation regardless of whether or not you are using bubble wands. Poor FAE will make pinning more difficult, limit fruit size, and make contamination (especially by cobweb) very likely.




i don't really see how this can be the case. if you have 2 18inch bubble wands running 24/7 how can't that be enough FAE? people do sandbags and monotubs all the time and they are never opened and fanned. i can see if you don't have the pump running long enough, but i don't see a reason to not run it 24/7 and if you do i would think that would be more than enough FAE. i'm totally open to being wrong about this, but i'd like to hear details as to how if i am. thanks




There's no problem with running the bubbles 24/7 - that just might not be enough to do the necessary job. Alot of the monotubs have a great deal of ventilation. The ones with only a few holes often have holes with a 1-2 inch diameter. It doesn't seem like alot, but consider that a 1" hole has the equivalent area as 16 1/4inch holes. A 2 inch hole is the same as 64 1/4holes. This means that they actually have a similar amount of holes as some shotgun tubs.

I forget the actual numbers, but ideally you want to have the entire volume of air exchanged in the growing environment at least once an hour - I think it might even be several times an hour. Small fish tank pumps just don't seem to do this.





hey power this is in response what you said about the entire volume of air exchanged in the growing environment so many times per hour.. heres an idea that popped into my head after reading that. You could get some balloons, blow them up normally like you would with your mouth, stick a few in the tub to see how many fill the space. Ok lets say about 4 balloons would fill the air volume of the tub you are using.. (see where this is going yet).. now take your aquarium pump and pump those balloon back up to the size they were before. record how long it takes for the pump to fill all 4 balloons. if that pump can fill all 4 ballons in 20 minutes than I guess it would be fair to say that the pump provides 3 fresh air exchanges per hour.?? to be accurate on 3 exchanges per hour with that method Im thinking that.. let me figure out how to exlpain what im thinking :-) just smoke 1..lets say if you have a 1/2 inch hose worth of air coming in then the hole to release air out of you fruiting chamber should be 1/4 inch. maybe put a hole on the opposite side of the fruiting chamber. so 3 air exchanges of fresh air would pass by the shroomies every hour. the pump would provide enough air in that space 3 times and hour so the air would be refreshed 3 times every hour. would that be like fanning 3 times an hour? So anyways would that be a simple method about figuring out air exchanges per hour with the balloon idea? maybe im high but I usally wouldn't go with the air pump set up myself but im thinking that maybe if it was set up the right it may be benneficial.. everyone feel free to comment. just some thoughts from my brain!

Why don't you just fill the space with smoke and see how long it takes to empty all the smoke out with the pump? :imo:

lol i dont think i would want to smoke out a fruiting chamber. plus the smoke can still linger around. plus you i think their would be smoke in the air once you couldnt visibly see it anymore. its like smoking a cigarette, the smoke can also stick to the walls and stuff giving an inaccurate reading. the balloon idea in my opinion would be more efficient.

an aquarium pump doesn't have the power to inflate a balloon, too much pressure involved. just get a trash bag that is close to the volume of your FC seal up and put the tube from your pump into thrash bag. make sure it's really sealed good. then see how long it takes to fill the bag, not filled tightly like a balloon, but mostly filled. then do the math as to what that will mean for your FC. for instance my pump filled a 30 gall trash bag in about 22 mins. since my FC is only 22 gall i'm sure i'll be getting 3 air exchanges an hour.

What about all the spaces that are between the balloons? How do you measure those? :shrug:

You should see signs in 4-7 days for your LC.

I'm not positive, but a syringe should last up to 3 months in the fridge. Double bag it.

Do you keep the fruiting chamber in the dark always??

How much light do you give it and for how long? Can I just leave it in the middle of my room and give it indirect sunlight? How long?

If I was to keep my fruiting chamber under my bed and have holes in the sides and the top of it, could I just run a small fan under the bed on low or would that be too much air exchange?

Also, if I have a casing do I just put the tub that the casing is in over some verm in a fruiting chamber?

Thanks.

Once the myc has colonized the casing, you need to start giving it light to induce fruiting. Before that- keep it in the dark. An hour a day should do it, but a little more is ok. Natural/indirect light is fine. Careful about overheating.

Just the holes will do- make sure you keep things clean. You don't really need the fan. I wouldn't keep it under a bed unless I really had to though.

You don't need to put the tub on verm.

Noobieshroomie: Didn't mean to skip over your question, but I've never done the outdoor tek before.

Possible problems:

Are you in the right temperature range and climate?

Did you follow the tek exactly?

Trippy Vibrato: If you have to keep it hidden, just Lysol bomb the area a few times. Contams are fairly unlikely while fruiting anyway. Wouldn't worry too much, just stay clean- spray down the mattress/pillows/bedding, all contam sources.

noobieshroomie: Not sure what to tell you, I don't have any outdoor experience. Wait a bit longer and see if something happens. If not, try another tek maybe?

Why do you keep asking this?
what dont you understand about the statement, "an FC doesnt need to be sterile" ?
As long as its clean its ok

I improvise where necessary. It will probably be ok, but if you can- follow teks exactly. Tyvek isn't so hard to get.

BB tek?

Well I am worried about having it in plain sight.... how can I keep the FC hidden without worrying about contams?




Here's what I do when people come visit. Since I expected it'd have to be hidden from tiem to time, I went and got a huge huge opaque rubbermaide from my mom's thrift shop, big enough to fit my 64 quart sterilite fruiting chamber in.  I just put it in there, but still open everything up and fan regularly. Set something on top of it if you have to, like a cup and ashtray so no one acts like they own your shit and tries to open it to find burried treasure.
