subbed!!! gotta get prepared for my first wack at this fungus production
if you read all the way through me and kitties grow logs.
youll basically know everything.

starting your own log helps so much too cuz you can ask such specific questions and get them answered dead on. and it only takes a few days or less for peoples response =D

i will deff keep a log. and im liking the shotgun design. last night i read a reallllllly long article that taught me a lot. the terrarium though was gunna involve getting an ultra sonic humidifier and all this complicated bull. this shotgun design is just perfect. keep it simple stupid.

ive got one question buggin me. the article i read advised not misting the cakes. this was with a completely different terrarium design though. the shotgun tut says to mist them. do i still mist them when theyre pinning and fruiting?

you do not spray the cakes directly.

you spray into the air and let the SMALL, FINE water particles fall onto the cakes.

i dont know how cultivation outside is possible unless you bury your spent cakes.

im starting a thread soon all about the subject so stay tuned

sorry i havnt posted any images yet but everything is looking good and kinda blue but thats okay =]
im seeing pins! but not enough yet that are picture worthy. in a few days.

ive been upping my misting and FAE but mainly misting. and trying to do that a lot more then i have been...

i moved my fruiting chamber to a bathroom that is no longer in use. reason being is because the temperature was around 60-66degrees F.
it is now at 74-77degreesF.

i shall be posting awesome looking pin porn in a few days.

PROMISE!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so i have birthed all of my Golden Teachers and the last 3 are dunking right now.

some of the cambodians got contaminated but no biggie!!

i was thinking i wanna try crumbling one cake into a aluminum trey and put a casing layer of verm on top and see if this will increase yield??
i will try a spawn to substrate later on in 2011 but for now i just wanna keep it pretty simple.
can this be possible??
such as: birthing cakes then dunk for 24 hours then crumbling cake into trey with layer of verm on bottom and a casing layer of verm on top then put into FC???
or is there more to it?

FAE.........fresh air exchage, wats nvm?

my 2 or 3 of my cakes are a lil blue also. i did pick one up to get a closer look to see if i had any pinning, but nothing still. im misting and fanning in the am, around 630pm , and like midnight. also i did get a full spectrum light but could only find 55k light thing.

just patiantly waiting...was hopeing to have something for christmas. there's a big christmas light...like park/exhibit close to me. its a place they have concerts but all the trees have lights and they have a bunch of santas and deers and shit like that.. think six flags holloween thing but christmas like. i'd like to eat some and go there. might be cool.

finally!!!

here are some pix....

ive made a few changes and they are helping a lot.

fyi...the upper 6 w/o verm are the oldest into fruit.
the bottom 3 w/o verm are 2nd.
the 3 with verm are a week behind the first 6.

I've never seen anything like that last pic u posted, interested to find out what it is.

At last, i've alos got pinning, finally. i was getting worried i messed up mt whole grow some how. 4 out 6 have pinnin on them,after 3 weeks in the chamber. the pins arent as big as heatlessbbq's, on no do i have penis envy or wat,hahaha bad joke. no im growing b+,pins look just like urs.

i think more misting and the change of light bulb might have helped. ill post pics later just to prove . nice work though heatless,im right behind ya.

yep i saw that on my last cakes threw me off a little bit but a few of them grew caps and turned in to regular mushies, a few stayed like that, they were cap less aborts either one could happen, but dont worry its perfectly safe
