Yeah, I screwed up. I guess I might as well let it stay in fruiting conditions now.

you should be fine, people use to  use coir as a casing material

It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn

I'm tired do me a favor

Didn't know that. Sounds great!

Update:



I screwed up. Slow growth and bad pinning.
Won't probably get more than one flush.

Throw some bubble wrap over those trays and mist.  Not all is lost

Yeah... I had very little spawn so most of the substrate is coir. And the spore syringes where 4+ years old. I should have added vermiculite but was to lazy to get any. And fruiting began before the substrate was fully colonized.

Update:




They are growing pretty slow, it's been almost three days since they started pinning and some of the trays are growing faster than the others. I'm hoping to get a couple of good prints out of this grow at least.

Those look pretty appropriate for 3 days old.

Yep, did you take your prints yet? Because you are a bit late now to take them.

Holy shit, I had forgotten how much it sucks to harvest these things...
I've only harvested one of the trays and took a couple of prints from it.
The fresh weight from that trey was 250 grams. I hope it will flush again.

After harvesting the first tray:



Four more harvested:



Fruits from four of the trays:



I wasn't expecting a good yield but this is fine for me. Every tray has less than 0.5 quarts of spawn in them. It will be interesting to see if I'll get second flushes but I doubt it. I enjoyed using coir, next time I'll add vermiculite and make sure it fully colonizes before fruting.

those look good man!  I have those same uncolonized holes on surface when I use a top layer of sub sprinkled on:



and when I don't use that top layer, just an even mix:



needless to say, as the others have pointed out, that top layer not required, and it takes longer to reach fruiting conditions. but ur trays look awesome either way!

Not bad OP, not bad. A testament to the resilience of cubes, and how forgiving a sub coir is. You will do even better next time, just don't expect those containers to be in one piece by that point :lol:

You did get some food, but your results will be better next time if you make sure you do not have bacterial contaminants in your spawn jars :thumbup:

This is usually the cause of splotchy colonization and mediocre performance like you have here.

Yes, you can bump my old threads with a question.
Here is how I get things done.
You should take a look. :hehehe:

:whathesaid:

Nonetheless despite thinking it probably wouldn't go this well for you I'm glad that you did see fruits.

I suspected bacterial contaminants too but it turned out fine however. Got almost 2,5 oz after drying the fruits from 5 trays. Tray 6 is drying now. This is from less than 3 quarts of spawn altogether. For me this is good, my last grow was 3 years ago and this is the first time I tried coir.

Dried fruits:
