I've never seen an unfruited substrate shrink that much, must of lost a lot of water. After you dunk it keep the polyfill in the holes loosely and mist as needed to keep it from drying out again. hopefully that's all that's needed and it will recover. You can adjust the polyfill some after you see how the fruits are developing, if it seems they're not getting enough FAE.

It doesn't hurt to delay your other grow and let it consolidate some by not introducing fruiting conditions right away and even though it may pin eventually like that I wouldn't wait for it to pin as a sign of being ready to fruit.

Yeah that works. I usually do about 4 hours with the water left trickling into the tub to keep it moving some. I'm guessing that will still be enough even though it looks particularly dry and compacted.

I'm not very optimistic about your substrate.

It never colonized to 100%.  ?

and the 'rubbery' surface in pic #3 ... not good.

you guys hear of an older technique of 'scratching'?  I don't know, but, this substrate may be a candidate.

The halt in colonization and rubbery substrate surface are concerns.



I noticed that there are still those few spot that may not have finished, but don't think there's really a better alternative. Scratching is for overlay which I is when mycelium is dead and hardened over it. I don't think that's overlay though I've never run into myself nor even seen anyone run into it, seems a very uncommon occurance.
