i started this tray about a week and a half ago. its made up of a bottom layer of coir and a middle layer of crumbled brf cakes, with a top layer of coir. how does it look like its coming along? how much longer do you think before i can put it in the fc? here are 4 pics of one tray.

If you've not cased it and that is the bulk substrate, then it will be a while until you can it in the FC, its looks about 50% colonized. Wait till it is 100% colonized before fruiting.

It takes about 3 weeks from spawning till i pick the first flush.
Depending on how well you broke up your cakes, grains may be faster as there smaller and theres more of them than 'chunks' of cake = more inoculation points and quicker colonization

It usually takes my mono's around 14 days to be fully colonized.. While it is colonizing just leave it alone and don't peak. You want to make sure the CO2 levels are high.. I just stash it away and look in 14 days and it is usually done.. If you keep looking at it or opening it you are just slowing it down.
