My pf tek pinheads not growing

[avillax]

Hi, so right now on my pf tek, the cakes inside the sealed glasses developed pinheads about 10 days after inoculation, but it's been 2 weeks after that and the pinheads don't seem to be growing anymore. I thought one is supposed to wait until tiny mushrooms appear in order to birth the cake. Apart from that everything is white and no signs of infection. What's wrong?

Pinheads are little mushrooms. Just birth them and keep the humidity high

Dude, spawn bags with unmodified tub tek works marvelous. I always crop 4-5oz per tub these are only 14g tubs. Never once has one tub fallen to contamination. It is a set it and forget it process.

1. inoculate bags (use proper sterile techniques for god sakes) I use rye grain bags, pre prepped.
2. 40-50 days spawn bags when they all nice and white in your tub. I use coco,verm and gypsum for substrate. I don't even measure quantity anymore.
3. Make sure substrate is field capacity moist not soaked. If you can squeeze it and a few drops of water come out perfect! If you squeeze it and water runs down your hand its too wet.
4. Literally leave the tub closed (not locked, top resting on it. I flip my lid upside down) until all substrate is nice and white
5. Mix thoroughly with spawn, keeping it even and level.
6. Wait until pins show. once pins show I increase FAE a little if any at all. I literally leave the tub like this until I harvest
7. Mist ONLY if you must, other than that's it.

People fuck with their shit too much. Stop opening the lid, stop touching it. Just let it do its thing. Patience. It is a 8-10 week process depending on the spores or what culture it is. This is not rocket science. It is sooooo much easier than growing bud.

Could it be that they are taking so long because the weather is hot? I'm in a beach town in Mexico. Weather is starting to cool off but still we get about 86 F during the day and 75 F at night.

It's been 6 weeks since inoculation. Still no heads
