First mono spawn,
    #19456014 - 01/22/14 02:55 AM (10 years, 11 months ago)

Pretty quick results.. I spawned 3 days ago.. got at least an inche of peat/gypsum over 1/2 inch colonized substrate which is over 1 inch verm/gypsum

1 - Is this rot/contam or mycelium running?
2 - I just put the light on right now, do I leave it? 12/12 6500k fluo
3 - Does humidity look good? (forgot about hygrometer) all holes are taped.
4 - From here on,(if it's proper colonizing & not rot/contam) how long until i switch tape for polyfill?
Thanks guys :blazed:

1. Idk. I can't see what you think is rot.
2.Yes 12/12. Indirect light for colonizing direct for fruiting. During all stages even in the jars.
3.You can't see humidity but its fine.
4.When its fully colonized.

Thats mycelium
light is good, keep the 12/12
EDIT: sorry relooked. You moisture is good. Whats the temp your keeping at?
Fruit when 100% colonized on top. Usually 1-2 weeks. Cant really get more specific than that.

wait, I'm sorry i don't get it.  u spawned to what substrate?  u mentioned it is sitting on layer of verm, so did u not mix everything up?  and after mixing/layering/(maybe u just have colonized grains?) u put casing on, then put in into spawn run mode with holes taped?  usually ppl case after sub is 100%, maybe thats what u did and I'm just :blazed: and not reading it right.

ps love the animal collective signature!  whats that from?

I love the artwork..It's from my 2nd fav album.. "Feels" look it up.. My first fav one is "Campfire songs" god that's a fucking perfect album.(maybe because of the memories/feelings I've got attached along with the music.... anyways onto the mushrooms:rolleyes: lol

Here's what I did.. Knocked up a BRF cake
It was 100% colonized when I chopped it up
I put it over 1 inch verm/gypsum
I put 1 inch peat moss/gypsum over the colonized substrate

SO it looks kinda like dis

cheers!:blazed:

can't see it, but you can see the water on the walls that are still there after 3 days of non spraying. Good enough?

Lol that's condensation and arguably has nothing to do with humidity.
Don't worry about humidity.

The only time humidity matters is when you fruit and that's split into two things. RH in the chamber so your fruits don't dry up. And evaporation off the substrate which will give you a 100% humidity where it really matters at the surface of the substrate.

Once you get to fruiting, you mist then fan and that gives you the evap/humidity that is needed. You should be fanning a few times a day and misting only when the sub is dry. That ebb and flow of humidty is one of the major pinning triggers.

edit:wait.. You're saying humidity at this point is not important?.. at all ?

Ok what this "Lol that's condensation and arguably has nothing to do with humidity"
Means is you will still have condensation at 10%RH and 100%RH. You can't tell the humidity in a tub based off of condensation. In our "line of work" judging a tubs RH based off of condensation is what we call a fail.

i know its from the feels album, but the pic u have a different than the regular album, i was just wondering what, if anything, it was from?  the linear notes?

in terms of ur tub, 1 brf cake is really really small amy of spawn, especially b/c u didn't boost it with any other nutrients like coir or hpoo.  i'd say if the entire thing is deep enough to hold its own moisture, then u should b ok (but that tub, those holes, look too large for a casing project with such few ingredients IME).  while a casing is colonizing, its good to be right at field capacity, even going a bit drier (but still visibly moist) to let the myc spread thru it faster.  when u put into fruiting conditions, get the casing more and more moist by daily spraying so the substrate can be "watered" in a way by ur casing, and the growing shrooms can pull from that moisture.

I'm no expert by any mean, here is a good pinning strategy specifically for casings

hyphae's pinning strategy

take note of the pics and moisture content on surface of casing towards the end of the post, i base me casings on those pics
