Baby pins?!

Shosh · 12-15-08, 18:24

Can someone direct me to where I can see pics of new pins beginning? Im so confused on this site.. Thanks soooo much!!!!! Im hoping I got pins!

How can u tell the diff between pins and just the myc?

Pins look like tiny tiny little mushrooms as opposed to the thready fuzzy stuff that is the mycellium.

Ok..Is the color diff? Is it slightly darker than the bright white myc?

Beastmaster · 12-15-08, 18:53

Shosh · 12-15-08, 18:54

RockyRaccoon · 12-15-08, 19:55

Shosh · 12-15-08, 19:57

Dr_T · 12-15-08, 20:00

I say the opposite- uncover it.
No way to get FAE with the lid on.

Shosh · 12-15-08, 20:01

I do fan it...Should I keep the lid off? What about shit gettn in it?

golly · 12-15-08, 20:14

How old is this tray..?
Looks like it's pretty close to pinning..

Shosh · 12-15-08, 20:17

Hey Golly nice to see u again. I hope I didnt bother u with my emails if so I apologize. Been in FC 4 about 2 weeks but I dont think it was ready to go in when it did from the info I received from everyone now..Little late tho..lol.. SO u think soon huh? Oh I do hope so!!

golly · 12-15-08, 20:33

NP..The sub is pulling away from the edges, so it shouldn't be long..Just make sure there is enough moisture present..RH looks good..

Gladiatrix · 12-15-08, 20:34

are u misting? how often? giving it light? cut your fanning back to 1 time a day until u see pins! u need atleast 80% humidity for casings i believe, correct me if i wrong. I suggest u go by some perlite put that little thing in a tub and create the right atmosphere

Shosh · 12-15-08, 20:38

Im gonna take a pic of my set up and then maybe u can help me more or correct me if Im doing something wrong..Thanks

I welcome any suggestions!

No not misting I got a humidifier in there with it

golly · 12-15-08, 21:37

Looks fine..Is that an ultrasonic humidifier..?

Shosh · 12-15-08, 22:27

No! Its a regular humidifier and its connected to that bottle to diffuse the temp & moist. coming outta it. The air pressure behind it is very weak. (BTW-the humidifier has a UV light to kill bacteria?!) I use it more 4 fresh air & humidity than 4 heat.
