Hi guys,
I inoculated a bunch of jars at the end of Nov. and after about 3 weeks they looked 100% white, I waited about a week after that to make sure they were done, then around new year's i took them out of the jars, washed them and soaked them for a day. I got a big plastic tub at target, drilled some holes on the side, filled the bottom with wet perlite, rolled the cakes in verm and put them in the chamber on top of jar lids, i've been spraying the sides and fanning 3x a day and it seems nice and humid in there. they smell mushroomy and nothing bad seems to be happening, but nothing else has happened either, and they've been in there for about 10 days now. is something going wrong or am i just being impatient? the top of the chamber is a solid color so i hung a light over the side of the chamber instead. could that be the problem? it's a fairly bright light, 26W cfl.
