Spawning to coir is a great option per frank's mono tek, the link for it floats around here

As long as you dial in the mono right, with enough poly holes, and sub level holes loosely stuffed, mist as need, liner, etc you will be pleased :grin:

update: hey guys, so yea.. it's been 3 weeks and the bags have been nearly completely colonized except for the tops of the bags and 1-3 bubble size patches in the bags where u can still see the substrate. I made the bags lay down a few days ago, seems to had helped a lil, flipped them to their sides today. colonization seems to have slowed down after 2 weeks. so it looks like I gotta wait longer before I can birth them. what do you guys think? I also took a whiff at the filter after expanding the bags in and out to force air in, then took a whiff and smells like fresh earthy mushrooms.

I can take pix but I think I described the bags pretty well, what do you guys think? the mycelium seems to be growing around the tops and inward. and light brown dis-colorization on the tops but I figured its just the substrate, no other contam growing.

Also want to mention, I just ordered a 23 quart presto pressure canner/cooker yesterday. it looks awesome! shroomery people seems to like it. cant wait to start growing more magic and gourmet mushrooms

Pics man, and discoloration generally is contamination, sorry man.

You should look at a bunch of photos of hyphal knots, primordia, pins etc..
Just to get familiar if you are unsure, but I think you will definitely know its pinning.


A couple of the bags look suspect to me but it might be metabolites or a tricky photo
Wait for someone more experienced than me

i think it was way too compressed, i broke it up. yea its the last part that wont (but i think it slowly is) colonizing.

gonna look at the prepinning photos but those dots look like heads to me, micro heads? haha

The knots look like small white bumps maybe the size of a dull pencil point, they kind of elongate and start changing color and turn into tiny tiny pins


I might be wrong about the bags I didnt realize they weren't colonized all the way i was looking at it different

so yea, i just rinsed and dunked,bags are in water in the fridge, washed off and scraped off the greenish blue contaminated?? mycelium, there was even a pin in one of the bags. can I eat it? should I even bother?



so this grow is a bust, all the bags had the blueish contam on the top and middle outside sides, some of the bags broke up into pieces, stupid bags. I'm gonna fruit anyway and pray. post pix of whatever comes out and hopefully it will be edible. all goes into the sgfc

regardless im gonna try again, shopping for a strain to order, maybe amazonian or teach? whats a potent strain with tolerance to contams? by the time i get the syringe my PC will be here and ill do jars this time, screw bags

"blue contams" are usually just bruising 90% of the time.  Getting blue mold is a bit rarer than the others.

Green, black, brown, yellow, and red are the common ones to be vigilant about.  Also if you see anything insanely bright white, that's a red flag too.

I don't like grow bags. I only tried them once, and had problems with them crumbling too.

Mine turned blue in a bunch of places, it was bruising in my case. Youre probably fine!

shotgun fruiting chamber not working as advertised, not ideal for desert dwellers. all day spraying 85% - 91% rh then in the morning when i wake up 71% rh. cant fruit like this, had to tape up over half of all the holes, will tape more holes until 99%rh

Says who?  You want a fluctuation of humidity so evaporation can take place.

Taping the holes will limit the amount of fresh air the tub gets, and will actually lower the RH.

Never tape the holes of any SGFC.....in the desert or not.
