Water drops on cakes?

corker · 06-23-09, 05:02

SWIM's first grow
SWIM has had cakes in FC for 7 days now and is worried that the moisture on the cakes will cause them to abort or overlay. SWIM does not mist the chamber but instead has TIT with aquarium heater under internal tub with moist perlite (to keeep temps at constant 75F and RH 95% to 100%). SWIM also Fans tub 3 to 4 times per day along with Aquarium pump running 24/7 on lowest setting. Is SWIM on track or has he set himself up for a disappointment, thinking he should have seen Pins by now?

Your cakes look good, and there appears to be some pre-pinning going on from your pics. As far as standing water, just wipe it off when you see it--it can cause aborts and invites contams. Seven days is not very long for cakes in a fruiting environment. Just be patient, as it can take up to two weeks from birth to see your first pins. And don't worry about overlay with cakes: That is what they are. Good luck!

Swim is now feeling a lot better.

Glad I could help out. I bet you will see pins in the next few days. Peace.

swims first grow took over 2 weeks for the first pins. I was pretty disappointed until I saw them

Those Amazons are a sight to behold, especially beautiful when the caps open. It looks great, dude. The mycelium just devoured your bottom casing layers! Enjoy the fruits of the flush. Peace.

Nice!!! You got some big honkers on them cakes!!! Enjoy!!

BTW, I always have a little standing water on my cakes, just comes with the territory... I usually just let it ride unless it really gets out of hand.
