did another run. here is the first harvest. started it indoors, but they were lookin a bit lanky so i moved em outdoors so they would get a bit more fae. hopefully the rest will have less stem. the bags were made from just water soaked scotts mulch, no past. or sterilization. spawn was wbs nocced up with vendor LC.

Very nice.
I'm going to try this again once I can find some Scott's mulch.
Right now I've got a 5gal bucket full of hardwood pellets and G oyster spawn that's just chillin.. Can't seem to get them to pin.

Are you able to dunk or heavily hydrate the surface? they should trigger to heavy rain, and ample hydration.

I could dunk it in another 5gal bucket, using some weight to keep the block in the original bucket.
I've been spraying the hell out of the holes daily. Probably needs a good dunk.

How long would you suggest to dunk it? An hour? 20 mins?

More like hours, try 8-12 hours of heavy rain effect. There is also pH triggered heavy hydration, but I have only tested that 4 times.

Perfect.
I'll try the dunk then. Hopefully that does the trick.

nice grow munch. did you have to mist more when you put them outside? are they in a shady spot?

are you keeping them in that mono so that you can mist it and keep a little extra micro climate?

i think thats a great idea. :thumbup:

I'm going to do this with the bag of cocoa shell mulch I have. My local vendor set me back real bad when they sent me Asperger in my spawn so I don't have time to do this outside before I move. Should I pasteurize cocoa shell mulch? I figure I could just stick it in a bucket and hydrate with boiling water and use it when it cools.


UPDATE: Spellcheck for the weirdness. Aspergillus.

i didnt change the misting, just did it once or twice a day. the wall is facing north, so it never gets direct light. the mono doesn't have any poly in the holes, so it gets decent fae especially with a breeze outside. the mono helps keep the humidity at a decent level. i tried doing these open air, but they would pin then dry out even with misting.

cool yeah i figured you were using the mono to retain a little moisture. that was the idea inside with the 5ml plastic. ill probably give that a go on the next round of oysters.

WOW! I wish you could cut holes and set them all free withouf affecting the integrity of the rest of the oysters. There are so many cute little pins and they all look like they just wan't to burst free. Hopefully that's what my cube tubs will look like. I am finally getting that replacement for my oyster spawn that was infected with aspergillus tomorrow so I want to try this.

I like to use my scalpel- poke just the tip in and tweak the blade to pull the bag outward without cutting it, then slowly twist the blade and push out along where the bag gives you resistance. But one thing to note- oysters are quite prone to over pin- causing many aborts and sapping energy away from the fruits with the highest success rate for reproduction. This is one of the reasons only a few holes are cut in bags- to ensure plump and well formed fruits as well as mostly negate lost energy.

i generally flood my bags like a dunk for an hour then put em back into fruiting. the only issue is the holes in the bag. so i just submerge the block itself underwater with something heavy to secure it.

This is tight eat.  I am going to do this soon but probably with pasteurized wheat straw, and hang the bags from a rack in an environmentally controlled closet..  What kind of mulch do you use for these grows?

oh can't wait! :thumbup:

id love to use wheat straw. but us city(pronounced shitty as in shitty wok) folk don't have space for a bale of straw. :lol:

scotts mulch. from lowes i think is where i got it.

there are likely organic mulches out there that work. just check your local availability. the info on the bag is inconclusive.

it does have a plant based dye in it that is allowed for human consumption. psilo checked into it on the first few pages.


anyway, im not dead yet from eating oysters off of it.

City Slickers?
