Fruiting From the Top and Bottom of Substrate ?!? (Monotub)
    #16188627 - 05/06/12 12:42 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I hear it's a common problem to have side fruits and bottom fruits despite black plastic; so you end up with weird shaped fruitbodies with 2-dimensional heads that grew between the sub and the sides/bottom of the tub...

Now what if you were to elevate the substrate (uncased) to about 3 or 4 inches and let the light hit both sides, allowing fruits to grow uninhibited from the top and bottom of the sub?

What, if any, would be the adverse effects of this? If anything I would think that it would allow twice the surface area and therefore allow more fruits for the earlier flushes.

Perhaps, but if the dual sided pinning were bad enough it may detract from the top which is the key side anyway. Propping up substrate wouldn't work until it was fully colonized, then it would be a hassle to get some support underneath to make it possible. Not worth it IMO. Side fruits are a plus though

Not to mention trying to hold a giant rack of substrate up so you can harvest the underside.  I doubt it would increase the weight yield enough to justify the extra work and equipment needed.
