It can become fluffy and have volume to it,
Its ready to be transfered to a cooler spot once its completly covered.
Leaving it warm will cuase the PC to "over" amoniate.

Hi Tomer1,
You also need to pat the cams. Once you have a full cover of penicillium candidum softly pat the top, bottow and sids once every day or so. This will keep the groth under control.
