Thanks for sharing the info pasty, I learned something new.

So as of today I just cased. The substrste depth ended up being a little under 3 inches for a 12 gallon tub so im hoping things are in the right conditions. casing layer was pasteurized for an hour between 140 and 160, cooled over night. Heres how things are looking. I plan to as soon as I see any myc popping through to be placed immediately into fruiting. My tub holes are 2 inches wide.

I know many dont expect for this to go far, but im staying positive that I may get at least one little fruit and at this point that is a success for me.

Hey ya'll

So everything is looking A-Okay. ive peaked once today and I just see mild growth along the edges and very scarce along the center. I judt wanted to show you all how my light is setup and where my tub is and to see if it just looks good. Maybe im just trying to cover all my bases, but im just trying to create the most optimum conditions.

I want to note that the container I purchased has a black lid which I plan to purchase the clear version of the lid tomorrow along with my polyfill and a cfl light @6400k. I introduced this light today, and although the lid is black, a mild amount of light penetrates the lid. Im aware that this may be doing nothing as of now if not just introducing my mono to some light. I have the light really close due to the black lid but when I change it to the clear I will raised it about 12 inches away. Should a 12/12 light cycle be maintained from here on out? potentially to the 2nd 3rd flushes? I know some may say that light is not essential, but thriugh my research ive noted that it does increase the size, as well as caps. Alright will chime back in once I begin my fruiting, cheers!!

I wouldn't worry about moving the light further away. Looks like a good distance. And yes 12/12 should be maintained, get the daily rhythm going. 

The only concern I really see is the closeness of that back wall. Maybe a pro has an opinion about that.

You want ambient lighting during colonization. When you have your clear lid, the natural light in your room will probably be enough. Pretty much just don't have it in total darkness. A 12/12 schedule is important, but more important during fruiting.

Right now while it's colonizing it doesn't matter. He will obviously have to move it for fruiting, he can't even fit poly in the side holes with where it's at now.

Yes ive realized the location of my tub is jot ideal and I will move it once fruiting begins.

This is how the tub is looking after 4 days, id say 5-10% colonized so I will wait until tomorrow or tomorrow night to fruit. I also had some more casing pasteurized to patch the myc crawling up the sides in hoped of evening out the pinset as best as possible.

A question about the fan in the room during fruiting: If I do not have a fan yet, and just in case I do not have it by the time I begin fruiting, can I stuff the bottom holes a little looser and fan the tub once or twice a day until I get a fan?
I was reading through Frank's How to dial in ur tubs thread and im pretty sure he mentioned that this was okay, I just wanted to see if anyone can reassure me on this.

Wait until it is 100 percent colonized to fruit. I personally wait until I see heavy knotting or my first pin before I introduce fruiting conditions. If you introduce it to fruiting before complete colinization and you're guaranteed to see contamination before you see fruits.

Hey, you may be confused, my sub was already colonized to 100%, what you are seeing is a casing layer.. some people fruit right after the casing layer is added...im going per franks horrigans instructions to let the casing colonize abiut 20% before introducing fruiting conditions. My strain is PE and hes preached on how this method works wonders for this strain.

Yeah my bad, hadn't realized that was a casing layer. I read 4-5 days and 5 - 10% and no mention of a casing in your post.  Should have went back a page or two. You're good. looks good man.

So I finally bought all my final supplies to ensure proper fruiting conditions I.e. Lights (5000k, close enough to 6400k), clear lid, fan, and polyfill. Ive attached some pics just cause im so excited to put this baby into fruiting. Im feeling very optimistic dispite my rocky beginnings. You can see the new lid, im hoping that the black tub n clear lid setup makes for a very nice canopy but who knows if thatll really affect it, im just imagining the best haha. Also you can see some of the myc forming nicely and those empty pockets that the casing creates. Ill check in again once I got the fruiting setup so anyone can say if my environment is ideal enough

Nice man, did you do a late casing? sorry for being to large to go back to the front, I assume you're eager to talk about it regardless do to your excitement.

No not at all! I didnt late case... I cased as soon as it looked 95-100%, the corners still had tiny bits that needed colonizing. It took 11 days for the sub to get too 100%

Edit: thanks for the love, keeps me optimistic that you and everyone here sees things looking good

Yeah man, we've all been there, I have a few grows under my belt and when I really want something to work out I still ask for peoples opinion on my substrate lmao.

Yeaa any info helps really, its just the fear of it all not going as planned but we cant thinknlike that lol. I had a question, cause I have been opening my tub to either see that the myc is doing good with the casing layer and also wjen I changed lids...but now thw tub isnt as humis as it has been the past days. For instance when the sub was colonizing and the I cased, when I went and checked it, I could feel the humidity within the tub and even a bit of warmth but now the walls are judt condensed but not the lid, and now it is clear so I can see the RH in the tub so no more opening. Hopefully once I wake up it should look alright and back to how it should regarding the rh, but if its not looking very humid in there by the morning, is it ok if I mist a little?

In respect to franks write ups, I dont want to mist till after the 1st flush cause my sub and casing were hydrated to optimum conditions ( I cant seem to remember the term used here in the shroomery) even though tomorrow I plan on changing into fruiting conditions, would a light mist be okay if the tub doesnt look like the humidity is at almost 100% I hope this rant makes sense lol



Yes a light mist should be fine, hopefully you have a mister like the ones flo master make, I've heard direct misting of pins could damage them (not sure about this) and I'd assume it's due to people using spray bottles with droplets that aren't fine enough. And don't open your tub a bunch, I use plastic wrap as a lid so I won't even be tempted to fuck with it and I can see perfectly fine through it. But biggest reason you don't want to be opening it is contams, and I may have misread that but I hope you weren't opening it before it was fully colonized, it's usually not a great idea.

*edit* I know it's hard, but the best thing you can do for your shrooms is to leave them alone. It's like the weed grower who loves his plant too much and ends up watering it until it dies. Patience goes a long way with myc

No def not during colonization of the sub. I realized it was rhe light being to close, it all looks good now, I might do a light mist once i fruit. I got the flo master, its great cause it sprays it extremely fine when squeezed really fast. Thats a wonferful analogy about the weedman. This hobby has really pushed the limits of my patience

Well for your first grow you're doing pretty good. If you get pins then it gets a lot easier and you've made it further than most their first time
