 First FC and it's Ready + Pics ((ready to pick)) :) 7/19

Hey everyone, without you all i wouldnt have got this far, so many thanks! - well my cakes soaked for 24 hours, i rolled em and now theyre in the FC which has 95% RH/75f i think there's a bruise in the top, it smelled fine and looked fine before i washed it, i also decided to case the plastic tubs i had, so i soaked them seperate to avoid any contams and went out and got this HUGE big block of coir, it'll last till the year 3000 i think  - i did 60/40 verm coir case and theyre back in the stealthbox.
I took a pic of my mycobag, do you think it's colonised fully yet? bear in mind the flash was used on the cam so looks brighter, the mycobag kit says to case it with verm IN THE BAG - however since its rye, do you think ill get a better flushing if i cased it in a tray?
Sorry for the 2 questions, im doing something right at least!:)

Looks good!
I'm not familiar w/ Mycobags at all. Someone else can get that, but the FC looks great!

Hey man, your mycobag looks good. You could cut the top of of the bag for air exchange (reseal w/ clothespin afterward), only as long as there are no apparent spots of uncolonized substrate. It's usually pretty obvious when it's not fully colonized.

My Cakes feel all ur good vibes! i cant wait till they start to pin, re the bag, id say the top is mostly colonised - the instructions i got with the mycobag also says to cut the top off and fold it down, peg it, will this aid anything as i am still unsure as to wether to case it in the bag or case it with 60/40 verm/coir in larger tubs, which way will yield faster?

Ok, so here are my cakes 3 days in, they have a little more consolidation on the go, i also put my cased BRF PF tupperware tub style [jars] in the FC today and installed a nifty little CPU fan suspended from inside with the distance of a wall plug, i have light that is in the range of 8,000K and humidity is constant at 100%, sometimes it goes to 95% but i only spray once a day.
I was looking at the causes of cobweb as any grower is concerned about their little ones, i hope what i see is myc not dactylium in the trays...
Opinions?
Thanks for looking!

thats most deff myc IMO. if it were a close up i'd be able to tell you more definitely. less accurate but still good is a sniff test. if it smells anything less than shroomy then you should look into it further. sometimes cobweb has a more stale or dusty smell than myc. if you know myc smell you'll know what im talking about. smells wet and full. hope this helps and isn't just rubbish.
grow patterns can help too. se ehow it seems splotchy, but still slightly compact. you'll want to make sure that it doesnt fluff up too high or is too thinned out like whispy cotton. that is not myc

That's not dactylium, so you're fine. Here's what cobweb mold looks like. It's grey.

Great info and advice, i do the smell test as least as possible, though this morning it smelled like fresh shroomies out of the store - the smell seemed to permeate after the spray, i cased that retched mycobag i have, i ended up following the manufacturers advice to case it with verm as i really didnt want to break up such a nice BRICK of mycelium, i think the FAE it got after i cut the top half of the bag off helped alot, im hoping to put that in it's 'Humidity Tent' maybe weds, lets see:)
As always RR settles a newbies paranoid mind, thanks man!

PINNNNNS!!!!
I woke up this morning and all these suckers were on my cakes, are they contams, do i need shrooms growing?? (Joke!) - both cakes were put in the FC 7 days ago and i must admit i got worried, but yea, today is the day, cant wait till harvest:)
Here's my cakes, see if you can find all the pins, i count 14
Here's a pic of a rogue grass seed that go my tub somehow, i plucked it and put H2O2 around the area and replaced the perlite god knows how it got in there, the terrarium is upstairs and no windows are open...
Again, thanks shroomery! - ill be having B+ (which is the round cake) and Mazatapec which is the odd shaped one, this cake was colonized in a plastic tupperware tub...

Good job man! You're doing great. Nice FC. They look happy.
Thank you RR for posting the pic of cobweb. I'll be reposting that one, as the question keeps coming up.

yep it stays at around 95%, i found that using a syringe to add more water to the perlite as it evaporates along with spraying keeps up humidity, it's around 54% outside the house as we always get rain, it's easy to maintain it but i am going for the type of setup you mention, im birthing 5 more cakes tomorrow and my drill broke when i was doing all them holes, the charger no longer charges:(

yea. he followed the shotgun tek. i mist and fan my shotgun once in morning once at night. usually consistent hygrometer reading of 95 rh. the size of the holes specified in the tek, 1/4th, was chosen to facilitate sufficient FAE, without just leaking humidity. Misting still necessary though

OK, i just read someplace that coir is to be used as a substrate not casing, well, i found a 60/40 tek that said to use respective amounts of coir/verm and the latter post states that coir is shit as its nutritious, but i have primordia, WTF? is this disinformation? Will They Grow??? as i am pretty concerned...

well. only problem with coir as a casing really is that, bc it is nutritious, it might invite the mycelium to spawn onto it. which could cause overlay. i dont think you'll have a problem.... 60/40 : coir/verm..... or 60/40 : verm/coir ? either way i think you'll be ok

you just want to make sure that when you see the myc on the casing layer it's fluffy and possibly knotty, instead of dense and rough... not sure how to describe that better

I noticed they were growing on the bottom of the cakes and were beginning to tip over so i flipped them and lay one on it's side else the babies would have been laying on the perlite... hope it dont cause problems!

hmm. wish i could agree with that but idk what that means exactly  ...
however. grow looks great. sometimes the myc will decide to fruit just one mushie, sometimes all on one side, and many other things that seem "not normal." could be that part of the cake was more nutritious? idk. or that somehow one side of the cakes were stimulated better for pinning. looks like that bc it happened with both cakes. however... it's not a big deal and keeping the shrooms out of the perlite is a good idea. putting down a layer of screen on top of the perlite would save that problem though, because if you aven't built yourself a rack to put things on and to keep them off perlite, then shrooms can still fall into perlite.
it's more of a problem if the cake is on the perlite bc it'll start colonizing the perlite. but gills with tiny perlite stuck in them is no fun either. so what you've done is fine. i think you may have had your light source off to the side of the cakes and didnt rotate them, causing them to pin from only one side. not sure though

Yeah i didnt quite understand the question either... ive been busy today, got a new tub, made it into a monotub and used coir for the substrate - poured 170f boiling water to pasteurize it, it's cooling and soon ill break up my last three cakes to it and case it with straight verm... see any probs with this plan? anyone?
Thanks!

if you can get ahold of some peatmoss it'd make a nice 50/50 casing layer. straight verm is fine too, but verm doest case as much as it just sifts around, where 50 50 wil be more solid and moist. both will work though
