I guess it fits the age-old adage which says the more we learn about something, the more we learn how little we actually do know.

It's kind of like trying to figure out why a dog will ride in a car with his head out the window at 60 mph, but if you gently blow into his face he'll go nuts. :shrug:

I use a lot of spawn in my bulk sub and i get so many blobs. I use coco coir, verm and gypsum. I thought that high spawn rate would increase colonization time and improve the quality of fruits. Would it be better to consolidate before introducing to fruiting conditions or just use a bit less spawn??

Round two, here's another set of cased tubs...I think I'm going to break a personal best record for yield with a couple of these :derfase:

All tubs are limited-MS penis envy (a transfer or two away from the original plate before moving the culture to grains). Cased as described in the OP.





Looks like a happy halloween!

Ok...so you have convinced me to buy a metric shit ton of jiffy mix......congrats....lol

EDIT: That is of course the first flush, right?

About how long did those take to pin?

Yes, all first flushes.

They take about 6 days to colonize the substrate, 3-5 days with the casing under colonizing conditions and then I fruit them. It is usually about 4-7 days until pins start to explode all over it :thumbup:

You should do a grow log for me if you try the jiffy mix out, I'd love to see your results.

Thank you Violet, I appreciate the kind words.

It has been a long and curving road to get here, that's for sure.

I think I'm gonna give this a shot with a pure verm casing sometime soon. I've got a PE clone that I can't get to fruit worth a shit.

I used this tek on my PE tub I just fruited a week ago. It didn't completely eliminate blobs tho and I had a relatively low spawn rate 2:5 or 4qts-10qts.

The casing layer may not have been even in all spots, as my bulk sub was slanted to one side(noob). Also I'm not sure I had my tub dialed in perfectly either.

What do you think frank? Have you had casings produce some blobs and what do you think caused this?



It pinned with mostly blobs but eventually I got a decent flush out of my efforts

How thick did you make the casing layer and how much did you let it colonize before fruiting?

I found that I get blobs around the parts of my substrate that have a thinner casing layer. 1/2" minimum is what I have been doing for my tubs.

Also, the tub in picture #3 (also below) came out to 315.7g, almost a personal best record for first flush yield!

That must be it, I had read 1/4in somewhere so that's what I went for. But because of the unlevel substrate some parts were thicker than others.

My casing was at least 25% colonized maybe a bit more. It's hard to tell through these newb eyes.
This is right before I pulled the tape


Congrats Frank :growshrooms:
