Just thought I'd chime in with my first muda bottles to reach fruiting stage. The 5 that currently have fruits are B+ and then there are 7 Penis Envy bottles and 4 Golden Teacher Bottles. Loving working with this tek and it's easy to adjust the substrate recipe to work with what you have. Thanks Muda!

My little pint just pumped out it's 3rd flush so I tossed it. It wound up with 11.6 dry grams. I'm impressed with it. I can't wait to run a batch with the new method since I have tons of PP5s now. Thanks for the new write up, Muda.

I find that the more I fill a bottle, the more difficult it becomes to shake it for lc distribution. Currently I fill to 75%, and I would describe this as tedious process 80-85% it takes twice as long, 90% is torture.
I know it prevents side pinning but ... I don't want to deal with the extra it takes to distribute. I'm almost tempted to fill 50% and see how I like it.
So for you guys that fill to the neck, any tips or tricks on making shaking it easier?
I tried filling to the neck and dribbling lc down the sides but it took 3-4 weeks to fully colonize, I wasn't happy with that, colonization times were too long and inconsistent.
I also had a bunch of jars stall out a few months back because the myc went up t0 the sfd and covered it over, preventing GE. These jars were filled to 95% and given the dribble/no-shake method.

I've been over filling my grain jars for a long time so I'm used to difficult shakes. I can't really remember much from my qt jars grows but with the qt pp5 I find anything over 80% becomes difficult to shake and often takes an extra week to colonise as a result.

I think the trick to shaking the pp5 quart containers is to hold the container so that it's on it's side. Do not shake vigorously. Too much force will not allow air or gravity to work in your favor. Instead, shake with long, deliberate strokes that create a flow or rhythm. If done correctly, the contents almost become weightless and move from the top of the jar to the bottom. Make sure to rotate jar as you shake so that all sides have been well distributed. I filled my pp5's around 90% and had no trouble when shaking it this way.

Once the jar is on it's side are you rotating horizontally or vertically?

I'm not flipping end over end. I am simply rotating it as if I were rolling it on the floor.

Is there a reason we don't slide the entire colonized block out of the PP5s like birthing a BRF cake?

How does casing with coir compare to to using verm? Coir is like 1/4 the price for me.

Its easy for it to be overrun. Consolidate well and put directly into fruiting after you case. It does make an excellent casing, nuce texture and easy to see if its getting dry.

I'm a noob with a question about this bottle tek. Wouldn't more mushrooms fruit in something like a mono? Just seems like the more surface area covered with mycelium, the more fruits you could potentially get.
