Fruiting chamber not fruiting?

hunter420 · 11-07-09, 12:46

Ok, so I threw my brf cakes into my my chamber on Monday and still I haven't seen anything start to happen? Temp sits around 25 and humidity is around 90% I had a light on them but instead I just opened my window in my room for light. I have no clue why nothing is happening I open the chamber like 3 times a day for fresh air. The chamber is On my floorso once he sun goes down no more light expect so temp I gotta turn my light on could that be the reason interupted light cycle please respond thanks!
6 days and nothing yet

Interrupted light cycle has nothing to do with it. Just be patient and it will happen.

Strains there's like 5 different kinds
Creeper
Blue meanie
Alcabenzi
Golden teacher
PF strain
And some bua tuan something not to sure the name but they all look good I guess they are almost growin lil fuzzy things on the side of the cakes so like lil balls almost! No to sure still a real noob

If you have so many different strains in the tub, make sure they are not touching one another or there might be some competition going on at the contact zones. That could slow them down a bit. Cakes of the same strain touching is fine. I think the culprit is humidity though, cakes like 100%. How many times a day do you fan and mist? Or are you using some kind of humidifier setup?

MLBjammer · 11-07-09, 14:01

Yep, Bev is dead on. Pump up the humidity for cakes--they prefer 100% if you can achieve that.

hunter420 · 11-07-09, 14:59

I am just growin in a tub with about 3 inches of pertile in the bottom. The cakes aren't not touching and never have I will get the humidity up to 100% right now I just let it drop in the last couple days cuz I thought it may have been to high but it will get it back there. thanks for the replies

You can never have too much humidity... Also FAE, FAE FAE!!

for the impatient people. Next time you do cake you can try and cold shock them to induce fruiting. I'm sure you can find a tek on the site. I havn't tried it myself, but i heard of people doing it.

Cold shocking is ineffective on Cubensis.

GadgetGuy · 11-08-09, 14:24

Cold shocking doesn't do anything for pinning on cubes in my experience. Just keep waiting and they will come. Should be any day now.

MLBjammer · 11-08-09, 14:43

I believe that some new growers might get confused between dunking in a refrigerator, which just helps keep contams at bay due to the low temps, and cold shocking, which is simply not beneficial to cubensis--a species that originated in very warm climates.
