looks good. no straw sticking up. when i used to do straw if i had a piece that would do that. id cut it off when the rest of the tub would be colonized. but yeah its annoying when that one little pieces of straw won't colonize lmao.
can you get pickling lime at the local grocery store in the canning section?
70% is a high ratio but if you colonize it quickly i think you will have success.

It was really dense and heavy. A little poo or coir would have helped. If it works though, I'll figure out the perfect formula and be sure to let you all know

I've used straight coffee as spawn, it took awhile to colonize but it eventually did.

Here's a pic of ropes in the jar,
I stopped using coffee at one point when coffee loving mold took over the place, but I may start adding it again soon as things have been pretty clean. Fungus of all sorts seems to love it!

Nope, it got broken up and mixed in with regular spawn and bulk and fruited in a mono tub. Mostly it was a test to see if it would colonize a jar of pure coffee at all (I had heard reports that pure coffee was too acidic and would burn the myc to death). Took twice as long but it finally did. If I remember right it was a pretty good harvest from that tub.

Oh. I read that wrong. You used it as straight spawn. What was the sub?

Coir/Verm/Gypsum.
If you want tons of coffee you can basically ask any coffee place for their grounds, just say you are doing composting, they will give you buckets full.

1st flush? Did you get 2 flushes out of it? What was the straw coffee ratio?

that was 3rd flush. i did 70/30 straw coffee grounds. I notice when I soaked my grains with spent coffee grounds, the mycelium was aggressive. It took much longer when I spawned it to the straw/spent grounds, and the coffee grounds were last to be colonized.

Oh shit. I did 70 coffee. Nice you got 3 flushes though. Yea. Seems the coffee needs some fluffiness added to it. Do you still soak grain in coffee grounds? I never have

I soak WBS in the spent grounds still. Not with rye berries because it throws off the moisture content with them for some reason.
