Outdoor Cube Grow...cuz my jars are suspect :) update 6-18 * 1
    #20069040 - 06/01/14 12:14 PM (10 years, 7 months ago)

So some of you might have read that two
of my tubs got trich.

Problem??  I didn't make transfers from
my plates to make sure I had clean mycelium.

So I have 9 jars colonized that I'm not
stupid enough to spawn indoors again even
tho they LOOK fine.

So, this brings me to my outdoor grow log.

Now, I've never done this before, but I think
it will work!

So I went and dug a hole under a big shady tree




The dimensions of this hole are 2ft x 4ft x 5.5inch deep.

Then I went and bought some Black Kow
it was $5 for a 50# bag.


I also have some grass clippings that
have been sitting in the sun for a week.


Next I went and watered the hole.


Then I lined it with cardboard.
you can see there was still some standing water
in the hole.  the cardboard pretty much
soaked it up.



Ugh... now the FUN part...

Took my wheel barrel and dumped my manure
in it,


then added some grass clippings
to fluff it up.  i think that was enough.


This is what it looked like after mixed


Brought to field capacity.
Then I broke up my spawn jars


And mixed them into my bulk substrate,
in the hole.
9 quarts of suspect KSSS from MS

I put a layer of manure down first


Then added a jar


Mixed it up with my hands.


Then another layer of manure


Then added a jar
Mixed it up with my hands.
Etc etc until my wheelbarrel was empty


This is the finished product.


You can see i dug my hole a little deep
but I don't think that is gonna matter
in the end.


The substrate depth is just a little over
2.5"

So, that was me correcting my mistake :shrug:

I  think I'm gonna cover it with a tarp
for a few weeks, then come back and see
what happens.

Any thoughts? Should I water this bed first?

Wish I had a climate to do that, I just seperate my suspect jars and either spawn em to just a little sub to see what happens or toss depending on the situation and how much fruiting space I have at the time.

Can't wait to see your big plot in action :super:

i hear ya brotha,
ive been down that route, ive had much better results
with field aged stuff that i collected myself.
now if anything at all i just do verm/coir, gypsum, etc.
but i usually dnt add much except one of those
cardboard barriers cuz i want it to fruit right away
and not try to colonize much.
i used to do this with spent cakes quite often.
ive found that bagged stuff lead to problems
for me, so i nvr went back.
good luck!! i luv outdoor grows!

Black Kow is fine, I've used it, though I seem to remember it being 1-1-1. If you don't like the extra hole space, try filling it in with field capacity straw/grass clippings/whatever. I don't think you want to use the tarp, but can't really say, you certainly don't need it.

i think black kow is just a brand name and different companys' do different things with it:super: a sfor the tarp it is optional but will help tyo not have to water so often, i would put some weight on it though to help stop critters from fucking with ya

ya, i used grass clippings. 

stamets talks about covering with plastic
during colonization, so thats why i did it.

plus i dont want birds and shit coming down
eating my spawn

should i throw a little bit of dirt on top of the tarp?  does it need some weigh on the substrate?

i have bricks around the edges already

Birds can sense it too, somehow, I buried some suspect spawn one day and my chickens made a beeline straight for it and scratched all of it up. Sometimes them or squirrels will take a peck out them as well... hopefully they're having a good time from it.
