FAT ASSES

take a look at these fat asses. I guess that's the name for them. it really pisses me off that I got such shitty genetics in my spore syringe. I guess that's the roll of the dice. this one got so fat that it busted open. I have other trays that are short and fat and are close to maturing.. was going to send out free prints but im pretty sure nobody wants these lol. slow colonizer and prone to contamination. but will overcome any contamination from what I have seen. shit one of pins but they only grow so high and mature. they are not aborts because the cap is still maturing .

They look really dry, even the myc on the substrate seems a bit bruised from lack of moisture. Consider misting them more frequently.

My first few pins turned out funky but the later pins grew just fine. I've had some horrible luck with multi spore myself! Two months later I still have some jars colonizing. You should look into agar work and liquid culture. Good luck!

there's so many strains in a multispore grow that if your techniques are good you can push it to awesome performance almost every time. sure there's shitty genetics in a spore syringe but you also have 100+ strains in a single grow so it's really no ones fault but the cultivators if you don't get a nice first flush.
uneven substrate is part of the reason for a sparse pinset but with most of your fruits coming from the sides of your substrate you can know your moisture content is probably a bit low. and your fruit is cracked from growing too fast with not enough moisture and it's got some bruising.

Do you have a liner in that turkey tin? If not the myc with consume the container.

mycelium doesn't consume metal trays, the enzymes that mycelium use to digest substrate react with it and burn holes through eventually.

well the bruising is from me touching it . but you say if there is not enough moisture they get fat really quick? I respect your knowledge of the matter and I want to learn. so I mist and fan 5 time a day. the sub was brought up to field capacity prior .it gets plenty of light and air exchange . that's what brought me to the conclusion that it was genetics

I heard of that before but to be honest I have never seen it do that before. and yes there is a little one only for side pin puproses.

mist and fan isn't a # per day thing it's a if it's needed. it also depends on how much volume of water you actually mist when you mist.
fanning is not for fresh air exchange at all you don't fan bulk substrates you fan in a SGFC and only fan after you mist. FAE or fresh air should occur naturally.

just soak the whole brick in water for about an hour. let it drain off and put it back. I've been fruiting all of my substrates open air and while I'm not home I put a plastic shopping bag over the top with a few holes poked in it. I forgot about this tub for a few days and came back to this, this is a 3rd flush a hair under 200g wet. you shouldn't really have to mist a bulk substrate like that at all if you get it pumped full of water and rehydrate it between flushes.

that's if your doing a mono grow. I have these in a sgfc . I have two monos going right now. these are some spores I got and decided I would just test them out in a little grow . im trying to get some good prints together

so if you do have them in a SGFC you still shouldn't have to mist nearly as often as you do for cakes since trays hold so much more water. I would even consider just bottom watering once a day. pour a glass of water in an hour later pour out what's remaining.
alternatively consider making one more tray and fruiting it outside of the SGFC just use a plain old plastic bag over the top with a few holes as the shrooms grow pull it up to make space. when you're at home for a few hours or more at a time take the bag completely off.

this is interesting I have never heard this before. but doesn't the substrate top surface always need to moisture evaporating off it or is that just to trigger pinning ? or am I just misinformed ?

it holds moisture it's always evaporating moisture.
