spawned to bulk

birthed the brf cakes batch(13), one loss to trich
crumbled the healthy cakes using my bare hands through a zipblock bag, mixed everything in a 5 gallon bucket and then dumped in the prepped tub
was kinda of a pain in the ass to cut the excess plastic liner with scissors in such close quarters,anybody know a better way to do it?
and now we wait
how long you guys think it will take to fully colonize?

the trench method is outdated and bad info i would remove those plastic layers because they dont do anything except screw up an even pinset.

haha, I read the thread and the OP was getting a lot of hate just because his tek wasn't scientific enough due to he didn't run isolates, which is ridiculous, in any case chances are it will not harm the pinset, so I will give it a shot

Well I tried it for myself and its crap. The main reason is that because cubensis has a tendency to want to pin from the sides of a substrate. If given a choice between side pinning and top pinning it will pour all of its energy into the side pins. Which sounds great but, ends up leaving all the spots on top bare while pins crowd each other in the slits.
The other problem is that the pins will leave debris over the tops of the grooves and I believe that creates pockets of CO2 in those blocked up areas where the FAE is unable to get in. I had my first case of cobweb from doing this, and the cobweb only flourished in the grooves.
If that was my tub, I would leave the plastic in, and then you should still get a half decent pinset on top, without the sub pouring all its energy just into the grooves. Either that or take it out now and mix it back up a bit. However some people like to find things out for themselves (I know I do ). Just make sure to post pics and or results no matter how it turns out so everyone can benefit

the plastic stays lol, if it turn out a shitty pinset I'll discard it for future projects, although pinset at this point is the least of my issues, the green meanie is
but I'll will post pics of results regardless of the outcome, monos are exciting

I have never seen this method using the plastic slats. I have always liked to think of myself as a shroom farmer. Regardless of the outcome, i think it is badass how it looks like a mini field with rows of crops. You should sterilize a little toy tractor and barn and put in there. I understand it isn't ideal but it would be a hell of a pic. Either way, good luck.
Also, don't take this the wrong way but that tub looks pretty small compared to most others i have seen. Im not trying to judge your process. Just want to learn. I have been trying to decide if I should do a large tub or split it between multiple smaller ones. What do you think?

tub is small because my available spawn was 3 quarts, and is not even grains but brf cakes wich are 2/3 verm, once my grain jars finish I will do 66qt tubs

Ok I understand. I like this tub setup because its cheap and easy. You can just use a smaller container that fits what you have. I hate to ask something that I can search for but is it possible for a tub to be too big? My understanding is that the substrate thickness and room for shroomies to grow is all that matters. When I searched I found threads that said the size doesn't matter. Others listed a minimum and max size. Because I am buying everything new, I would like to get the biggest tub that will work so I don't have to upgrade later. I promise I will quit asking questions, but I really do appreciate all of your advice.

Really the sky is the limit for tub size you just have to adjust for proper FAE and humidity levels

I have an idea. I will line a spare bedroom with plastic and "install" a mycelium floor.

the thing is it would be so hard for the sub to restore humidity after opening the lid in larger tubs like that...

yes maintaining proper conditions would be almost too much work and i knew i would have better results with a few 66 qt tubs but the thought bugged me out for awhile, had to look at my empty tote every day  would be bad ass to see it work though! i've done up to 110 gallons with success but the over all shape was perfect on that one where as my 400 gallon is to square

Thinkin about it, silverstem's right. Think of the amount of moisture the substrate would need to pour back into the air into humidity for such a large bin... Hmm... Makes ya think that's for sure.

Just wondering, how the fuck does a mushroom grow that big like the one I just posted. That's just mind boggling o_O...

Now that is a good ass question! lmao
Oh what I would give for one of those big ass mushrooms. I would sleep with that bitch and nibble on it all night long. In a sexy way till I loose my ego, at least....
