Outdoor Cube Bed Question
    #21851649 - 06/24/15 05:40 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

For those of you who like to grow outdoors in the summer - I thought I got my outdoor bed going way too late this year until I looked at the dates on the pics from my last outdoor cube grow:


June 16 (inoculation day)


July 16


July 17

That's pretty incredible (at least to me) for one month, especially because I used less than two quarts of spawn. I got this year's bed (same substrate, same B+ strain) inoculated 7/14 and all appears well so far. I know there's a lot of variables to consider so I can't plan on a repeat performance this year. Previous grows seemed to have taken longer, but I don't really know because that was before I had access to a digital camera that records dates.

My question is: Did my last bed fruit exceptionally quickly? I was figuring on at least six weeks to fruiting this year. Is there a typical time range for outdoor beds to fruit?

One thing is for sure - I'll be watching closely starting the second week of July.

My beds always took between 10 days and 3 weeks

I wonder if you leave them grow out year after year, if they would eventually start coming up on their own? Anyone ever hear that happen for a species of mushroom that isn't native to that specific area?

Old horse manure.

And thanks maddchef - I'll keep my eyes peeled. I see lots of rhizomorphs under rocks in the bed. You don't see anything on the surface until one day, and then it's on. I just worry that constant heavy rains may have caused too much of the spawn to rot.

Did you follow a tek? How big was that area?

Humans will have the right to love and be loved as we choose, to experiment and experience as we desire, and to be and strive for what makes up happy; that is the future I yearn for.

At the rate we're going, terraforming had better come along much faster.

No Tek. I just spawned about eight half pint jars of grain to about 15 quarts of manure and let it sit undisturbed in a tub for three days. It fully colonized about one quarter of the manure, which I then mixed with about 60 quarts of manure in a bed. The only special care I took was to make sure all of the mycelium was spread evenly and covered.

The bed was a bit more than a square yard - one and one half? Think of a big 80 quart tub spread out 2"-4" deep.

My favorite outdoor beds have been with unpasteurized cow manure.

Mad props for your grow! I've been planning on starting my own outdoor B+ grow this is the bed I'm planning to use
It's an old Palm tree stump the inside had turned into detritus I though it would be a great bed for spawning and fruiting what do you think?

It could work, but the rotten wood inside won't make a good substrate, if that's what you were thinking. You could scoop out the log and pour in your substrate/spawn though. You're using straw?
