Forget growing indoors... OUTDOOR... Second Flush [Pics] Page 2... 4

Hey folks,
Well, I had a small tray I made contaminate with some cob web mold at about 95% colonization. I thought it would completely colonize, but it never did as the visible signs of the cob web finally appeared. Anyway, it was given around a week or so of extra time to consolidate.
I dug about 5 inches into the ground. I applied about 1" of medium grade verm to the bottom of the hole. I then placed the colonized block on top of the vermiculite. I then applied a nice verm layer to the sides and top of the colonized block. I made sure to hydrate the verm at this point. I then applied a layer of grass cuttings over the vermiculite layer. I watered daily, sometimes even twice. I gently watered the top, but heavily around the sides to rehydrate the bottom vermiculite layer. Temperatures ranged from 60-97F.
Here we are folks.

It didn't get much more colonized than this. The bottom, sides and middle colonized, but not the top.

Here is the outdoor bed.




Caps should open this evening I believe.
Very healthy looking fruits. I am very surprised. I think I am just going to make 12 or so of these trays (12 x 6 x 3") trays next year and just do them outside. Cubes REALLY do grow themselves folks. This was the least labor intensive grow I have ever done.

also...ALWAYS crumble your spent cakes outside to get additional flushes. I crumbled one and put it underneath a potted hosta and i got another 1/4 zip for my move.

Agreed. I am very pleased. I was expecting maybe 2-3 mushrooms... maybe enough to dose with.
I don't know what that middle big one is doing growing all side-ways and wonky like...

Thats an impressive yield you got there The same thing happened to me a few days ago except my casing was starting to get green mold, how long did it take for your outdoor bed to produce fruits?

It has been about 8 days or so, but the tray was allowed to consolidate about as much as it could for being contaminated with cob-web.

I actually just put my first contaminated bin outside yesterday. It made it to like 95% colonization (it was KNOTTING when it became slightly contaminated with trich, and I didn't want to risk any further contamination).
I dug a hole about 5" deep also, only instead of vermiculite I just used the garbage bag that was already under the substrate as a liner - but I flipped the substrate upside down because the bottom layers were healthiest and had a nice verm coating on them already.
Mine was a cat litter bin - 3 quarts PE6 WBS spawned to 6 quarts of my own substrate blend. It was fully colonized and knotting. Another reason I flipped it over was because there was some overlay.
Not sure where I went wrong, it was either bad spawn (didn't think so...) or trich spores got into my CLB during fanning/misting.
I hope I see something off of mine, that's a good 1/4 LB loss.
I'm thinking about putting my first monotub outside for it's second flush also, because it snapped at the center during dunking.
Cool thread.

My buddy and I tried 30 grams fresh last night boiled into a tea.

I also forgot to mention that the tray was spawned with half Costa Rica and half Ecuador.
I am going to harvest the rest of the flush tonight. It should be around another 30 grams.

I agree, outdoor beds are the shit, and they are so much easier to take care of.
First outdoor bed, covered it with just sticks and green leaves and watered the shit out of it 2 - 3 times a day.

It was a good 95 degrees, no rain the whole time.

Leaves stayed green through all 3 flushes. Probably from all the water they were getting.

noob question about cobweb. sorry if it feels like a hijack.
cobwebs appear on fruiting and not during spawning lets say on spawn jars and spawn bags. Right ?

Makes me wish I wouldn't of tossed 10 or so WBS jars that had cobweb on them. Oh well.. Live and learn.
Nice pics btw. I'll be sure to try your method next time I get any contams.

About 15 grams dried total from that flush. I will take that. We will have to see how future flushes go.

Second flush is coming in already -pins at least. I am very surprised. Are outdoor bed flushes less coordinated than indoor grows? Seems like I will just have a few mushies popping up every so often opposed to one massive flush.

I still have some jars of WBS that have trich in them. I moved them away from my others until I figured out how to deal with them, but I'm thinking of burying.
Think the trich will fuck it up or is it worth doing? (I live in the city, so I have to scout out a spot in the woods somewhere and come back after it rains)
