that it is. she has it done right too. everything automated. way to go. i like the way the trimming is done to keep size in line with her requirements for marketing. very slick. too bad they seem to waste a lot of material.

the trimming off of the smaller pins is a masterstroke eh, must be getting much higher yeilds and bigger shrooms. Class set up, mind blowing.

How long it take to get full colonization? I clone mine of newspaper for three months. I get around 60~70% colonization. IS it possible that newspaper doesn't have enough nutrient for them to grow rapidly?

newspaper grows are slow anyhow, and don't ever produce much. Only way to use it well is to chop it into bits and mix with 10-20% bran/cottonseed meal, hydrate right, then PC for 4hrs in bags.

Thanks for the tip Buckeye Oysters. I, too think it would be boring, but if it is a cash cow, who can complain, especially if you have don't have to do it all by yourself? That's part of the good side of being the owner or manager. You can delegate if you want to.
