No its not ready. Wait a few more days. The substrate shouldn't show so much as shown in the pic.

Yep, what he said.

That's why I asked if it was cased.

That's one of my mono tubs and as you can see it looks like yours somewhat. Well mine isn't ready for I say about 6 more days. 100% white/colonized. Any of those brown spots/uncolonized substrate can become infected with bacteria

I've placed trays into fruiting conditions while some of the coir, etc., was slightly visible and had no problems. However, the best procedure is to let the trays, etc., fully colonize before placing in the FC or GH.

Hope you didn't leave that lid off too long.

Also, how deep is that substrate? I have a feeling you are going to be very disappointed with fruit size. Sub looks extremely shallow.

Yeah, saw your post after I posted.

Generally you want to go deeper than that. Aim for 3-4" for decent sized fruits.

Edit- Fresh air can stall colonization so limit it as much as you can. :thumbup:

I would only use 1/4 inch casing.

Yes I get away with it too. But to someone who is just learning the ropes of mycology the best advice is for them is to follow EVERY thing to a T. People just learning tend be less sterile with their work and a casing that is not 100% colonized introduced into conditions that arent totally sterile may compromise work but a fully colonized substrate is resistant to many forms of bacteria

Agreed. That's why I said, "However, the best procedure is to let the trays, etc., fully colonize before placing in the FC or GH."

Also, you don't want the casing colonized. It's there only to keep up the RH.

i read that i shold let it partially colonize the casing, say a day or two, just to see some myc above it so it can grow out easier. is this right?
