Casing cubes is an unnecessary step that adds an additional risk to the process increasing the chances for contamination.

There is one scenario where casing is beneficial with cubes and that is rolling PF cakes in verm, but mono tubs & trays need no casing.

Unless your growing PE, in which case a casing layer would most likely reduce 1st flush blobbage.

Other than that, unless proper conditions cannot be met, there is no real benefit of having one.

Lol yea I guess I'm just overthinking everything. At the very least I'll hold off on playing with casings until I have more experience to experiment =)

Good plan, after a few grows, when the outcome isn't as important and you can get your hands on an isolate, do a side by side for yourself. You'll see, the proof is in the pudding.
At this point in the game the toughest thing is learning patience.

So while reading a bit I came across this http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/17231150#17231150. It seems to explain the excessive aeriel mycelium activity I've been seeing and attributes it to poor GE. Is this something I should be worrying about during colonization? I'm just using the imperfect seal of the lid for ge right now.

Personally I like to see a little aerial myc. When I don't see any my humidity is usually too low.
A little at the base of the stem and on the surface of the sub doesn't bother me at all. If it were on the caps I'd definitely increase fanning.
Is that a no hole mono tub? If so lots of fanning will be required 4-5 times a day and still could show aerial myc.

Naw it's got the 4 at sub level 2 at top type deal with polyfil. Made the holes a bit smaller since it's a mini.
Though I'm done worrying for the time being, gonna try n forget about it for a few days =)

So I checked my tub when I woke up and it looks like this
10/19


Let me know what you think, I intended to wait through the weekend to fruit but is it rdy now?? Aslo there is a decent amount of condensation on the mycelium itself, should i be worried?

Looks kind of funky but go ahead and fruit it. It is as ready as it will ever be.

This is what a healthy tub is supposed to look at 100%

It looks great, very rhizo and knotting :thumbup:
The glistening moisture on the sub is a good thing, just watch for pooling

Just an update on my progress, set my tub to fruit on 10/19. It's been moving along nicely. Showing a good amount of what I believe to be knots, unless I'm mistaken.
10/22:
Been producing a lot of aerial growth still so I loosened the poly at the top holes. Also haven't had a good light until now, but I got a 6500k fluorescent so I'm not worried. Let me know what ya think =)

Obligatory next day pic, I'm fukn amped like a kid on Christmas lmao! More pins, pic doesn't really do it justice there's like 30-40 baby pins pretty evenly spread throughout the tub so I'm pretty stoked =D



I'll wait till there's a bit more action for my next update.

Everything seems to be going great got a pretty nice pin set and more are coming in daily =) Also a few neat mutations, pin with another growing off the cap in top right corner of the pic and a few fused pins.



My question is, are there any ways to tell if my tub is drying out or too dry? I don't mist at all, especially now that there is so many pins. The surface still has moisture on most of it but the edges don't seem to have as much of the glistening beads of water on it.

Don't sweat the mutations, they're more potent and very photogenic.
Your tub looks hydrated well enough to me :thumbup:
I never mist just because or routinely, always look at the sub and decide. If it's glistening IMO no mist needed.
2nd flush  and on, generally require more misting than the first

Haha I love the mutants, imo thats the nature of any mushroom or fungus. Which is why they are so hardy, they are always adapting and mutating to suit their grow environment.
I figured the second flush will require more attention to moisture,  just tryin to make these shrooms as happy as possible so they'll return the favor :grin:
