motherfucker! peeker into chamber where tubs are this morning. sons of bitches are over 50% colonized on top already. i did the damion 50/50 coir tek and saved a bit of teh sub to sprinkle over the top and the un spawned top later is already at least 50% on all tubs, this shit is trucking along right fast!!!
if colonization continues at this speed will probably iniate fruiting three days or so AFTER 100% colonization. a bit of consolidation time will only ensure the parts i cant see are fully colonized and give the myc time to get denser and stronger and whatnot.
im exctied. not to toot my own horn or anything but i think so far im kickin ass and taking names.

almost at 100% colonization. scary fucking shit. maybe its just becuase i have never grown cubensis but im startled at how quick this shit is smashing through the sub.
shiitakes take like 45-50 days for me (colonization goes fast but i wait for the brown "bark" before fruiting) and lions manes fucking forever. Oysters have always been fast and easy for me but this cubensis shit is like instant gratification.
cubensis has always been my fav. mushroom to eat (i mean dont get me wrong risottos are bomb but tripping is better) and are now def. my favorite to grow. its like they really really want to be here...growing..at my house for me to eat  
these are going in mini hybrid tubs A LA Doc_T. 27 q sterilites. how long would ya'll reccomend consolidating the sub? i was going wait for three days or until it has stopped getting denser and denser.

myc still getting more and more beast. no signs of contams. all seems to be going well.
will run the puerto ricans in the same monotub setups. am getting to work on the big ass martha build today.

Tubs now on day 9 of substrate colonization. see pics. probably begin fruiting in a day or two depending on how long it takes to thikcen up./ they apper 100% colonized but i want the lighter spots now to thicken up a bit right?

pics are only of one of the mini mono tubs but all look pretty much the same at this stage. everything was done off of damion 50/50 coir tek with a thin layer of unspawned substrate over the top.
i plan on wax paper "casing" during pinset when i do initiate fruiting

Birthed all tubs on tuesday. after initial way heavy handed misting some of the super cottony myc brusied a bit and i freaked out but it didnt spread at all so i kept misting and fanning...today i saw my first pin!!! no pins at all during fanning and mistng before work, and at 1 when i came home to fan/mist i saw a pin!! the rest of the knots are looking to have gotten denser in the last 24hrs. got knots everywhere hopefully they'll be a fuckton of pins tom!

i guess it was a recon pin...no more pinning until this morning when two of the three tubs had a few pins and a lot of little primordia blobs. the one tub the has no baby pins yet has mad blob action going on.
will get pin porn pics in a day or so when we see if i fucked my pinset or not!

I have that exact model of tub in that exact hole setup. Same hole pattern in lid I assume?
I find it hard to keep optimal rh for pinning in it. If you notice the pins in the center drying up, or being smaller than the rest, toss down that wax paper you were talking about.

yeah man thats what i had going on for a day or so at the beggining...then i busted out the wax paper about 6 days ago and its been mad action since. today i counted so many baby pins i just stopped counting after about 50!
i ended up slapping some tape over the holes on the lids as even with the wax paper i found it hard to keep nearly 100% humidity without having to mist way too much... mow with the holes tapped up and the wax paper im seeing mad primodia and pins forming over th elast day.
been fanning at least five times a day, misting 3 or 4 depending on how dry the sub. looks....i really need to get some more pics up but keep leaving my camera at work. i'll be sure to get it back for the pinset pics...

I taped up the top row of holes and the holes on the lids on mine also.
I keep a fan on tho.
Be careful u don't stifle them too much. You can have a great pinset that turns into midgets and aborts if you aren't careful.
Don't rely on manual fanning. Make sure the tub is getting enough air all the time on it's own.

thanks anonjon.
i moved a fan from a cannabis grow gear stash i have (pot growers never go anywhere without backup exhaust fans) and setup a nice even breeze in the mushroom room. i will still manually fan the tubs at least 5x day (when i say i have been fanning i have been taking a small 200cfm axial cooling fan and running it into the tub for a minute or so) and continue with the misting when needed.
i plan on keeping the wax paper on until the caps start to open up...no harnm in it as long as i change it frequently right?

no harm at all. wax paper stays fresh for several days, parchment paper a little longer.

yeah i switched to parchment a few days ago actually, only becuase i ran out of wax and had a big ass foodservice size roll of parchment i brought home from work for some reason.
so i made a serious newbie blunder this morning. during fanning (i still feel fucking stupid about this) I DROPPED a fan on one of my tubs. stupid stupid shit i know, but i just grabbed it up right fast and it only damaged a maybe 4" square section. i was pissed at my self man..i just sprinkled a bit of damion 50/50 mix i had made up for some new tubs over the damaged spot and went about things as normal. I blame this sour diesel x AK47 i was smoking...not wake and bake cannabis i should have stuck with a lighter headbuzz sativa and left the drooling retard weed for after work.
more primordia are up...have a few clumps that are looking nice and dense.
my Puerto rican jars are picking up speed and i look forward to something to do with them....going to try these tubs again, or maybe some buckets.

thats the cool part about this mycology shit doc_T. i got mad syringes on the way and plans for em all.
Mycology = crack!!!
pink oyster baskets on tap for the next week two...some of my shitake logs are getting a soak and cold shock
being a straight up ganja grower i am amazed at the multi-tasking that mycology allows me to get away with. also growing the ganja is my favorite thing ever...but mycolocgy is way easier to get serious with. i already foresee a flow hood build being finsihed and some agar in my future.
ex: there is just no way i could run two or three of my cannabis strains in the same hydro table...i just couldnt do it. the have diff. nutrient reqs, growth timelines, growth patterns, etc. ....
but i got like three different kinds of cube jars and gigantic PF blocks rolling all in the same conditions!! a cube is a cube...great shit right there.

Agar is a lot easier and cheaper than it seems. Flowhood is great but even a glove box makes it easy to use agar for some amazing things.
