Oh.. yeah I see it now. Just as good anyway, as it seemed impossible to make him stop.

So here's what I'm getting pretty much from all this non topic talk, is to use the foil until fruiting then once I see enough pins to put a layer of verm. And too pressure cook my mix of verm and brf.

I have always questioned this in my mind because a fully colonized grain shouldn't need protection and the best protection would be a fast growing mycelium.
They're most vulnerable right after spawning since the mycelium is still fragmented but I doubt there's much difference in mold spore count on the top of the substrate and below during a spawn run anyway.

However, it seems that a sparse layer of grain on top would dry out. But perhaps grain dunking would help with that.
Not before the surrounding substrate dries out.
A thin top layer takes all of 5 seconds to apply and does not increase colonization time as long as it doesn't increase the distance from the spawn the mycelium will need to colonize. Or in other words spawn can just as easily colonize in six directions as it can five.

Don't add anything to after pinning starts.
You can't use BRF as a bulk substrate. Anything that contains BRF must be fully colonized before it can be opened and exposed to anything outside a sterile jar.
You can use the fully colonized BRF cakes as spawn however which is what I thought you were talking about, but the substrate you spawn them to cannot have uncolonized BRF in it or it will contaminate. You're limited to spawning to things like vermiculite or pasteurized coir or manure, things that won't contaminate in open air.

Pox q^^^ that's what I'm doing spawning crumpled up 100% coloinized brf+verm cakes into uncolonized brf+verm substrate in a still air bag kinda thing
