Wait, now hold on! My lid is clear, does this mean i should lower my light and put it to the side instead of the top (its hanging literally directly above)? I had NO idea that overhead was not as efficient.....

The rhizo growth is what you want, it means it is strong and healthy.

FC is ready light and holes n all clear tub yada yada (not dismissing just previous info) At this point (judging by my posts) approx how long od you think my wait until birthing would be? I have been told to dunk I want to tap out my jars palm to table/work surface dunk in room temp water (wouldn't colder evap faster considering my temps?) for up to 24 hrs then place on foil in my FC on my wet [perlite and call it good fan more than mist before more mist more fan after pins. Am I correct thus far? Can I use the fine verm I have as casing/do I need casing (I've been told I don't) for a small bulk pan in my SGFC?

No need to case cubes, but it can save a tray from drying out. If you want to case it right then you need some learnin, verm is ok i guess but peat is better if you can do it right. I would rather use coir for a casing than verm, you just need to raise the PH of the casing so that the myc won't colonize it but grow through it, and that raises the risk for contams.

I think people are forgetting that I have said at least ONCE that I have all the goddamn time in the world so I can monitor my temps FAE Rh and everything else under the sun at an hourly rate (probably more cus I am over excitable sometimes so drying out shouldn't be an issue. I don't want to screw with too much at this point (is overlay an issue without casing?) Just trying to figure this out... Been reading my eyes out and UTFSE so now I'm just asking for the best advice at this point for my particular situation I believe I have been very descriptive considering the lack of knowledge and the fact that it is currently just about 4 am where I am.

Overlay is when the top layer of myc dies due to PH level of casing or not casing it and the top getting to dry or hot or get too much direct sunlight. It makes it so the top does nothing and the live part under the overlay can't push through the thick tough dead top layer. I think the only thing you can do about it is flip it or carefully scrape off the top layer.

Overhead works, he was just saying one end is better ? Probably because it gets the light closer to the bottom.

Should have pics tomorrow I just got this really cool grow light/stand that's for starting plants (germinating/sprouting) and the bulb is a 6400k bar florescent its a pretty cool little contraption considering the light height is adjustable and it seems to be easily manipulate plus it doesn't take up too much space. Anyway jars are looking good I gotta start marking them to make sure they aren't stalling (I may just be getting antsy) I am so ready for them to be done but unfortunately mother nature even in prime conditions does what she wants not what I do... No matter how much I beat myself up about it...

Looks like my nightmares, well the bright side is, when you empty all the jars you could use them to isolate and clone on agar

I dont really have too many supplies or cash to do that any suggestions? This is my first grow ya know. I was just going to go with fruiting most of them as is and grating a couple to spawn to cow poo in a lil aluminium tray. That was my plan. There aren't any contams in my jars so I don't really know what to say......

Nope not at this time... Jars are still in waiting, I have everything I need this far, Everything I need is set up as far as I know. Still playing the waiting game. But I'm excited! They look good and healthy from what I know and understand SO, I think thats it.

So I took a look at my jars today and most of them are about 99% colonized (3 are like 75-80%) I'm so excited I could pee myself! Now its 7 days and counting!!! Any one disagree?

BUMP!!! Wondering how soon after colonization (100% to the eye) I can birth dunk and fruit my cakes... I have heard to let them consolidate and all that jazz but I am wondering how early I can birth a cake without the yield suffering...

Top row, second from right. That jar has two circles of dense mycelium at the edge of other growths. Did it turn green? It could be lighting, but it got my attention.
Your FC and light look fine. After full colonization, let sit for a week after that before birthing. RR

No greens or other odd looking growths that I can see and I checked my jars yesterday (7 out of 10 are ready to birth on the 31st) What you probably see it the green tint from the flash stabilizer on my mom's fancy dancie HI-DEF camera (which is a pain in the ass to use sometimes) I haven't seen any hint of contams thus far which makes me think I must be following something right... Thanks for all the feed back and good advice RR I really appreciate you taking the time to explain the dumb questions I ask instead of flaming me because they're dumb. Thanks everyone. Now I have read about it 100,000 times and still don't have 100% consensus. Best pinning triggers after birthing dunking and rolling. Lots of FAE I get that and mist if it looks wet I can lower my temps cuz im not colonizing anymore and????
