Quick Casing Question.
    #7028192 - 06/09/07 10:53 PM (16 years, 9 months ago)

A have a non = contammed tub OMG. The entire surface is 100% colonized with fingerlike projections pointing toward the sky. It is in a clear tub and i can see that a relatively large chunk of coir is NOT colonized on the bottom. Is this okay to case, or is it very important to wait till it is one solid block. If my tub was not see through i'd imagine i would have cased it by now. Thanks for input. Pics will be up tomorrow if ne one wants to see.

Would be most safe to wait for that little bit but you have about a 97% chance of sucess still if you were to case now.

Wait for full colonization. I've experimented with early casing with mixed results. Some growers even put the casing layer on when the substrate is first made up. I've found performance to be less than optimal doing that.

It all depends on why that large piece is not colonized. I'd myself would try to determine if it is because it is dry if that is the case then you want to put a casing layer on ASAP don't wait. I definitely agree with RR I will never ever case an uncolonized substrate I've never ever heard of anyone who has any experience in mushroom cultivation ever do this! The reason we don't do this is obvious your yields come directly from your pinset and the more even the pinset the better the yield it's that simply! (mycosense)!!! You will never ever get an even pinset set doing it that way you couldn't even get that lucky!!!
