belated B+ brf cakes

hallucinogeneti · 09-01-09, 02:19

FOAF would've uploaded pics sooner but we've been camera-less for some time now.

Did a basic BRF tek with b+. didn't use a pressure cooker, just boiled the jars.

real simple perlite fruiting chamber, no special light or air flow. A true closet setup

also real simple drying chamber, 2 cups of "damprid" with a wire mesh over the top, inside a bedside stand

Have had the first flush, which was good but could have been better. Included some fresh and dried pics (not complete, much sampling was done by the time I got the camera)

Now I've dunked the cakes is a big bowl full of tap water in the fridge, pulled them out and placed into a freshly cleaned fruiting chamber with a new layer of perlite, as you can see they're just starting to pin

again!

giving them an hour or 2 of light and 1 fanning per day. Have stopped misting on advice from the forums. Walls are staying pretty moist We'll see how it goes from here. Thanks for all the help

Looks like ya got it down there Hal

Keepin it simple is the best policy IMO

I'll keep updated until fruit

some primordia/pinning action

looking pretty good since dunk

You should double-end case those cakes--it would likely help with pinning.

It looks good, though.

double ended most of them and left a few just to compare. Figure you shouldn't pile verm. on top of primordia.

I really like the early pinning stages, looks so alien

the second from the left is growing backwards right off the cake. Never seen anything like that before

pretty cool.

lebrony · 09-02-09, 20:16

nice boomers.. you've got some real big ones in there!! great job

Every time you look inside that FC, the walls should be moist - running - with condensation.

I advise misting those walls when you fan (don't mist the cakes, just cover the walls with microdroplets).

I also suggest fanning more than once a day. Long and skinny shrooms with small caps generally mean too much CO2 (and not enough fresh air).

A DEC wouldn't be a bad idea at all.

Congrats on success, regardless!

Nah, the casing won't hurt the pins. It is not a big deal, though. Good luck!
