50/50+ not working... ??
    #2145559 - 11/29/03 10:31 PM (20 years, 4 months ago)

My friend did two popcorn casings using the 50/50+ tek.
One was done with verm+peat_moss+crushed_oyster, the other
was the same with some agricultural lime.

The humidity is in the mid to upper 90's.
The temperature seems great, but after four days the mycelium is not growing into the casing at all.
The mycelium underneath looks like its growing fine, just not anywhere near the casing.

Whats wrong?
Could the pH be wrong? I thought atleast one of them would work, but neither have anything.

:frown:

It should take 7 - 10 days to work into the casing material.

I'm about to do the same exact thing...question...so after I apply the casing layer to the substrate should I cover it up and incubate it and if so for how long? I've heard this but haven't heard the details....

I either talk about my friends in the first or third person, but I never, ever talk about myself on this website. Except that last sentence.

I'd say its anywhere from 1/2 inch to an inch.
The substrate is about two or three inches.

The casing layer is kinda chunky; I didnt smooth it out or pack it down.
And the crushed oyster i used was powder not chunky, so the texture wasnt as good (or so i've heard)

my casings usually take 3days,4 at the most to colonise,then i patch and move to the terrarium.if your casings are taking longer than this then your top casing layer is too deep.

Ok, so I'm positive its not working.
He usually has to cover a few spots after two days and then its ready by four days.
Its at 7 days I think and it has absolutely zero growth into the substrate.

Could this be a pH problem?
I'm a little bummed about this, He followed the tek *exactly*.

What should I do?
Try removing some substrate?
Is there anyway to save these casings?

It isnt too think, I can even see the substrate in some places through holes.
