will this mini tube setting work? opinions welcome!
    #18419906 - 06/14/13 05:41 PM (11 years, 7 months ago)

hi guys,

          This mini tube was created from two plastic containers, inside there is a mix of fully colonized, coco coir + coffee + gypsum + verms. When  opened up it smelled real nice so that's good.

The problem is that it was not available a good big bid to drill big holes,
so i did many small ones. how are the chances for this to work? how many days until there will be some pins?

Thanks for the help!!!

You said tube twice, did you mean tub?

Anyways, it will work, you made a dub tub, should be colonized in 10 or less days if all is well, pins will show up anytime it's ready, impossible to be accurate when you use spores.

Leave it closed until fully colonized.

Don't open it up.

You wanna keep it shut and sealed for 5-10 days AFTER it is fully colonized. This is called consolidation. After that time, expose it to fruiting conditions and you should see pins start forming.

You do not need to let bulk consolidate, that is mostly for cakes.

You can fruit right at 100% colonization, and it will start pinning.

I've always heard mixed opinions with this topic :shrug: I let it consolidate and the pinsets turn out great.

Both ways are probably fine

I don't let it consolidate, and it's ridiculously hard to decide where to start picking usually.

I've tried both many times. I find the pinsets are just as heavy either way, but they come in faster and more evenly if you introduce fruiting right at 100% colonization.

Good to know. I might give that a spin one of these days and compare my results
