Looks great just give it a ton of air exchange.ok so I blotted the droplets… most of them and blotted up the little bit if yellow water on too in one spot and sprayed over it with some h202 fifth.

What should I be doing to promote air flow etc..
Ok I will do that, it had basically stalled I guess because I was not fanning it, I hadn’t opened the lid.
Any way I should regulate humidity?
Thank you for the help!
I grew a bunch 15 years ago, and getting back into it. Have the LC and grain jars down, but tek I used I can not find anywhere. It used kitty litter trays, which are dirt cheap and resist mold. Have seen videos using a layer of coir, 2 quarts of grains, another layer of coir, than mix and put thin casing layer. I remember covering them with tin foil and putting into cabinet set around 78F to colonize, then into shotgun fruiting chambers to fruit, I think 72F. Do you think there is any issue covering the litter trays with foil??? Do they need any fresh air exchange at that point, or is CO2 going to build up? The tek was on shroomtalk which is gone, and guy that posted it took it down soon after posting when he got pissed off at them. Think he went by the name Hunter or Hunter GT.In nature that mycelium is going to grow until it becomes exposed to air where it breaks the surface of the soil and breathes fresh oxygen and waits for rainy days to make a getaway.
Carbon dioxide build up means that it's likely to believe that it has to grow more... but your stuff is pinning tiny dots that are waiting to fruit into mushrooms.
I don't know how long it has been but if they don't do much in a few (5) days then maybe soak and retry.
Maybe leave the lid very slightly askew and try fanning three times a day for a few seconds and leaving the lid all the way off for a couple minutes.
Play God.

the amount of c02 that they throw when colonizing is nuts. seen a ppm meter max out in seconds at 15000 in a large sealed room. read this the other day poor fella hopefully they go easy on him

Thanks. That is interesting. Is fresh air detrimental during pinning?? I used to move to shotgun fruiting chamber, but sounds like I could cover with clear plastic and drop temperature.From Mushplanet
The ideal growing conditions
You can divide the growing process into 3 periods. Here below are described the ideal circumstances for the Psilocybe cubensis. Some circumstances are a little bit different for other species.
Incubation period: This is the period when you have inoculated your substrate with spores and placed them in a warm and dark place so they can germinate and grow to healthy mycelium.
- temperature 28-30°C
- total darkness
- humidity 97-100 %
- fresh air exchange: 0
- period: 2-4 weeks
Pinhead formation: The period when you place the mycelium for the first time in a place with (indirect) sunlight and a lower temperature. The mycelium will start to form mushrooms. The mushrooms in their smallest state are called pinheads.
- temperature 22-24 °C
- indirect sunlight
- humidity 97-100 %
- fresh air exchange: 0
- period: 5 – 10 days
Cropping: When the first pinheads have shown up it’s time for cropping, growing up to adulthood. A lot of fresh air and a somewhat lower humidity is preferred.
- temperature 22-24 °C
- indirect sunlight
- humidity 90 – 95 %
- fresh air exchange: 3 times a day (minimum)
- period: 3 – 7 days
Of course we understand that not everybody has the equipment to fully reach these perfect conditions. But as said before, they are ‘ideal’. Psilocybe Cubensis in particular is easy to grow and it tolerates a lot when it comes to ideal growing circumstances.
I thought 1500 was dangerous for a grow room. Wouldn't that much be fatal?the amount of c02 that they throw when colonizing is nuts. seen a ppm meter max out in seconds at 15000 in a large sealed room. read this the other day poor fella hopefully they go easy on him

Fruiting is usually pinning in terms of temps/air/humidity so that's just fine.
Light introduction would be helpful and the plastic could provide a better microclimate for the pin initiation.
Just throwing it into fruiting would be just as acceptable, in my opinion.
