I screwed up big time!

Well I'm sure some will laugh and some may taunt but I feel I need to share this little story. I did an experiment on a tub to see just how fast I could get pins without following directions. I doubled my substrate without doubling my spawn, I didn't let my jars consolidate, I put into fruiting way too soon, and I over misted! Results from a 66qt tub were about 1 ounce dry little bitty q tips. Just as the tub started to look like it might produce some decent fruits, trichoderma got me. I'm just glad that this was an experiment and I did get some fruits from it. This particular tub should have produced 3-4 ounces when done right in the same amount of time it took to spoil done wrong. Moral of the story is to have patience and follow directions as I'm sure this has already been learned in the past.

Indeed... It has been learnt in the past.

The consolidation period is the time that you wait after the jar/substrate is 100% till you spawn/fruit. A week is recommended. Some wait longer, some 3-5 days.

Consolidation is ideal for cakes being fruited as cakes. But anything spawned, you can go ahead and do your final shake at 100%, then spawn after it begins recolonization.
-------------------- You make it all possible. Doesn't it feel good?
