you will definetely appreciate a casing layer- i recommend a verm coco mix at whatever ratio you shoose. it is light, fluffy, and holds a lot of water. Jake H

I'd also recommend a casing layer. Very nice looking spawn run!
A casing will allow you to add moisture to the fruiting surface, create a rH buffer, all sorts of good stuff. Without one, I'd bet the cob is going to fruit like one big flat PF cake, and require the conditions for such. Could be wrong, this is new territory for most all of us. Nice job!

Thanks Suntzu, Thats what i thought!! When should the hippie add the casing layer? Should he wait untill it's 100% colonized, case it and then wait about a week utill placing it in his fruiting chamber??

I'm gonna try this too, although I will be using a Pint of Rye grain. I'm not sure if I want to blend it though, I may just break it up like one would for a casing. Please keep up posted with your progress!!!

Yes you want to add a casing layer.

Add a casing layer after it has colonized 100%. After applying the casing layer...keep an eye on it...put it in the fruiting chamber when the mycelium starts coming up through the casing layer.
Example of when to fruit.

good luck!

Thanks for all the great advise. The hippie applied a 50/50 casing layer last night. Now he'll keep a close eye on it and wait for the magic to happen, he's got plenty to keep his eyes on!! Wish him luck!!

Damn man, I've just read over this tek and it looks very easy! I went out to the store today and bought me some corncob. I was just wondering how sterile were you when you did this tek. Did you just follow it as is, or take extra steps to keep it clean?

my pal bought some corncob after seeing this tek too. He spawned probably 10 lbs of corncob with a pint jar of colonized rye. Only thing is, the jar looked 100% colonized, but when it was opened and broken apart, it seems there were many uncolonized grains!!!!
however, he still liquified the mycelium and mixed thoroughly as per the tek. 28 hours later, there are a large number of mycelial colonization points throughout the medium. looks good! but he expects contamination due to <100% colonization of spawn.

No the hippie did it in his kitchen, not very clean? Just wipe every thing down alcohol & water .
And yes he loves the geolite, geolite kicks ass!!
