Agreed.  I like the paper strips best.

I ordered mine off amazon for like 30 cents for a book of 100 or so.  They took almost a month to get here but 500 strips should last a while.

Here's pics from the end of the 1st flush on the Pinks, the Kings were taken over by mold, so they went outdoors in the compost pile to see if they fruit at all. I'd say it was a good first test batch. :smile:

Great looking flush!

Looks like you strip the bags for your flush.  Do you find this more beneficial than holes?

Also, how about giving some specifics like time from inoculation until fruiting, any supplements, bag weight, etc.

I'll have to give times on the next test. Didn't really pay attention this time. I cut the bag off because it wasn't tight against the straw and was fruiting inside the bag. Next test will be in buckets, once grain spawn is ready.

They do like to pin all over if the substrate is exposed to air.  I've had good luck in buckets (especially if you line it with a trash bag before filling with substrate).  Just cut x's where your holes are drilled.  Then they only pin and grow out the holes and you get larger fruits.

So, why use the liner? Do you cut the x's after its colonized?

2 reasons:
- It clings to the substrate, preventing that pinning you might get that's nowhere near the holes (which can happen when the substrate shrinks as it will when it digests the wood)
- Because I use sawdust, and it likes to fall out of holes.  A liner with x's cut holds it in quite nicely until it colonizes.

I cut the x's right after spawning, no need to wait for colonization.  The airflow will help prevent overheating if you're doing larger substrates (I like 5 gallon buckets) as well.  :thumbup:

So do you load your bags in the bucket, then cut the x's throught the holes in the bucket?

Yeah kinda:  Put liner in empty bucket, fill bucket with mixed spawn/substrate, twist off the top of the bag and fold over or tie shut, put the lid on the bucket, then cut an x where every hole is.  That's it!

I also seen Aleon say he hated cleaning the buckets and I doubted the severity til I had to clean a few the other day!  And I used bags in my most recent ones lol  I have no experience fruting them using the bags in the buckets yet but I feel it will work just fine :smile: By the way here's some lime soaked straw buckets of HK

those look nice!  If you make more buckets consider staggering the holes in a diamond pattern and you will be able to fit more in.

Thanks AV!  I had that in mind when i started but in between holes lost focus but definitely a worthy idea.  I already have 8-10 buckets in there at a time so eventually it will be crucial!

Nice pics, snakebite. 

You might want to set the date/time in your D3100.  EXIF is showing: Original Date/Time = 2007:06:12 22:41:12 and I am pretty sure you took these recently.

Aloha method works just perfect!





The topper floor is with two buckets filet with beech saw dust Oyster Aloha method.
The top bag is Eryngii as you can see fully colonized.



You can see how spawn colonize the beech saw dust.
