This is so bad-ass, there are soooo many big meaty fruits off those logs....maybe I'll give it a try even though everything looks so cumbersome.

You can get it from ULine (poly tubing) if I remember correctly, rolls are kinda pricey though (over $100 per roll).

I get mine from international plastics.  They have the best price and quality.  You will want the 16" width (that makes about 10" diameter log) http://www.interplas.com/16in-4-mil-poly-tubing-on-roll-p-pt416

Side A:


Notice how much the straw has shrunk back and made a gap between 2 halves.  They were touching together:

Fruiting day 10:

2 more days and I will clean all aborts and stumps off log and it will be ready for next flush.  I'll start posting again when next flush begins or I have total yield from first.

Well Holy Sheep Shit!  I got an overlapping flush on one of the first logs.  I think this might be the first time on shroomery some one has got an overlapping flush on straw.

I won't, as I said before redunking them leads to more problems than benefits.

Total weight between first 2 logs was ~30oz dry, so about 15oz a piece which is around normal pickings.  Maybe even a little light on yield, and that could be the reason for the quick overlapping flush.  Either way the REAL advantage with the coffee grain is the 12 day colonization to pinning time which basically shaves a week off.  If you consider the standard life of one log to be 6 weeks (3 weeks colonize, 1 week fruiting, 1 week rest, 1 week second flush), then shortening the time would reduce total time to 83% of non coffee which takes 5 weeks total.  That would mean a overall increase in yield of 20%!  (My math right??).

I need to clarify a couple things before someone cuts themselves.  When punching holes into doubled over trash bag be sure the quart jar has a jar ring on top to reinforce rim so you dont break the jar.  Also if it is difficult to punch with arrowhead try dipping the arrowhead in water then punch.

Already picked a few mushrooms from the overlapping flush on first logs.  Now regular 2nd flush coming in just fine with no mold problems so far.

2nd flush coming in just fine.  All of the logs are either undergoing a overlapping flush or the 2nd flush is coming in the day after I pick and clean the log up:

All the logs are having the same results with 2nd flushes.  They're getting larger, and hopefully we will see some monsters with a 3rd, maybe even 4th flush.

Nope, no genetic albinism.  Some of the fruits are lighter than others, because they are drier.  There is a technical term for mushrooms that exhibit different appearances based on their water content, but I can't remember it (hydro--hygro--??).
