what should i do?
    #9071693 - 10/13/08 04:04 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

So, this is my first time with mushies...I birthed and dunked my 3 cakes (before they pinned), rolled in verm, and deposited in my terrarium, which I am keeping in the spare bathroom with the air vent covered. I am misting every day, as well as fanning about 5 times daily. They are getting 12/12 light/darkness, but its been a week and a half and they are not pinning yet. One of them is covered with REALLY fluffy whiteness and the others look nice, too (less fluffy, though), but Im afraid they might be getting too dry. Should I re-dunk them to get the pins started? Or am I worrying about nothing? Thanks for the help!

Do you have a hygrometer to measure humidity - if not, get one... Should be in the 90s - higher the better.

Thanks for the quick response.

No, I don't have one...I do need to get one...can i get one at Wal-Mart or some place like that, since I need it pretty quickly?

How long after full colinisation did you wait before birthing?

Don't dunk them just give them time I am sure they will start pinning shortly. You should be misting every time that you are fanning them to keep the rh up. Also you should be fanning only three times a day.but yeah its probably your humidity.

Fot two of the cakes, it was over a week, the other one a little under a week...also, it may be too hot in there...should I drop the temp...I have a feeling that it's a little too high.

I like mine to be around the mid seventies. Try to post a pic if you can.
Also the bathroom is not the best place to keep your little friends. But just give it time.

I missed that point. Bathrooms are a breading ground for all sorts of moulds and bacteria. If you use the toilet everytime your flush your toliet it sprays fecial matter all over the place.

How much FAE? around 5X daily, for 20-30 seconds
Humidity? There is a LOT of condensation on the walls of the tub, but I don't have a hygrometer.
Temp-70-80 degrees
Light-12 hours light (overhead bathroom lights from vanity mirror-very bright)

I made my terrarium from a plastic tub with holes drilled in all sides (a partial) clear top made from plastic wrap to let light in

also, just moved them to the spare bedroom.

Condensation isnt an indication of high humidity. Condensation means that the outside is colder that the inside of the fruiting chamber, causing moisture to condense out of the air onto the colder walls.

Bathroom light from a vanity mirror. those are usually fluerescent arnt they?

For performance bright light in the daylight range (between 5000k and 7000k). Light is a secondary pinning trigger and when combined with the primary triggers produces best results.

You should be misting before you fan out your terrarium also.

Dont give them direct sunlight.

Your fluerescent may be ok, try and find out what the colour temperature of the bulb is.

A cool white is usually about right, orangy is usually around 3000K

Wal mart has the digital hygrometers which aren't very reliable (+/-10% ime), but will be better than nothing. Pet stores and tobacco shops usually have analog hygrometers that you can calibrate for more precise readings.
