Substrate depth. Interesting observation + question
    #15747565 - 02/01/12 02:20 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

Normally I Use a 4 - 5 inch sub depth. 6 or 7 jars of spawn Coir/coffee/verm sometimes kelp if Im pasturizing properly.

Awhile ago I only had 3 jars of spawn. I spawned to half a brick of coir ONLY. Colonization was FAST 6 days? The first pinset was impressive (a nice isolate) but the mushrooms matured too early at about 1/3 to half of their regular size.

I attributed this to the shallow 2 inch sub and low moisture content/nutrience. to my surprise the second flush ended up producing regular sized mushrooms!

As I said I am working with a predictable isolate. Was the small sized fruits of the first flush due to lack of available nutrience at that time for the whole pinset? or was it a sub moisture issue?
Where was the bottleneck in this shallow sub depth?

Thanks guys

I would think  some of both. Small sub means small area to draw reserves from whether it is water or nutrients.
