growth stopped due to tampering

420bymywatch · 11-27-06, 17:01

After various moves and tweaking, my buddy's small half pint cakes stopped producing and I advised him to redunk and place in his new and improved terrarium.

Question... some of the cakes only produced a few small fruits that got to about 2 inches and stopped. We think they stopped because humity and air exchange was less than optimal in the old setup. Its been a few days and they haven't grown any since. Should they be picked (chalk it up as a first dismal flush due to less optimal conditions), or will they start growing again now that they are in a proper terrarium (95% RH, automated air exchange, 73 - 77 degrees)?

The most common cause for poor fruiting is from low moisture content+air too dry...A near 100% RH for cakes is best.. Also double end casing can help preserve their water..Cakes should become fluffy white in humid air.
I would harvest what pins have stalled and go for the second flush with well hydrated cakes...Gluk...

Thats what should be done then. I don't think my FOAF's cake will go any further... even in his new and improved terrarium.

Thankee!
