I'm asking this on behalf of a friend of mine. He really doesn't have the time to learn how to work the boards. This past week he lost (3) 3/4" versicolors and I was asked the question, "why?" Could be any number of things I told him. Ventilation, humidity, temperature..
Here is what he told me, and here is what I know. The versicolors did not have adequate ventilation for approx. 2 weeks then had plenty of ventilation 2 weeks until their untimely deaths. They did not die all at once, one by one, about a few days apart. The room's temp is 80-85 degrees during the day and around 73-78 degrees at night and the air is purified using a sharper image A.P. 24-7. He mists 3 times a week and assures me the substrate is never dry and never wet, something in the middle.
My guess is, I have no guess. Any number of things could have led to their demise. They didn't die of dehydration. Possibly poor ventilation?
What do you think? I've never lost a versicolor, so I'm quite stumped!
