Very sorry if this is the wrong place for this but I am new to forum and can't for the life of me figure out how to make my own post and really need some advice.

To make this short, SWIM has a garden and their friends family has a giant cow manure compost pile.  SWIM took a few chunks of this compost to use as fertilizer for their garden and left them in the car for a couple days.  Today SWIM said he took them out of the car and was breaking them up and spreading them at the base of his plants when he noticed some white pins with golden centers popping up from one of the chunks. SWIM is wondering what he can do to further encourage growth of these pins. Would it be wise to leave them in humid greenhouse or will light destroy these little ones? I can't identify them yet but hope to when they grow up. Thank you for any information that you are able to provide

Some one you met should first be certain that they are indeed the right species before proceeding.

I use the ph up i use for my hydroponics, sometimes baking soda. I just adjust my water and add it to the coir.

Uhg, all my stuff got thrown out last week too. ("Well you weren't gonna grow anymore anytime soon right?" "Yeah but I at least could have sold some of that stuff to recoup my costs!")

So I'm thinking I'll line a milk jug with black plastic and give that a whirl. Thanks bud, I'll update when I get situated.

I gotta stop working on drunken impulse. Alright so I mixed up Frank's coir formula as per caveman421's suggestion.


Then we got loaded up with probably not enough cakes


Crumbled...


Then filled, mixed and plastic trimmed...


Lets get this out of the way first. For my rushed, drunken, garish, detestable hubris, I deserve and expect nothing more than abject failure in this venture. BUT! We can't dwell on the mistakes of the past, and must move forward amicably!

I've got the lid latched now. Its one of those walmart 12qt totes that has the latches on the side. Seems loose enough to allow gas exchange but should I unhinge it just cause?

This is also my first casing, uncharted territory, a new frontier. Fuck I get expositional for parts that don't matter when I drink...

SO! Do I just leave this sitting around until I see more colonization or do I just plop this thing in my SGFC with(out) the lid on?

Hurl your harsh criticisms, I deserve them in spades! And as always, thanks for the advice in advance.

And 170 is perfectly safe. Any higher and you near sterilization temps.


You're already in sterilization times and Temps. 140-160 closer to 140 for 1 hour is best. Why? Because almost every mold spore dies at 130 for 30 minutes. 140 for 60 minutes is actually a bit of an overkill and will kill all the mold spores. The only thing higher temps and longer times does is kill more beneficial microbes which is a big nono. Manure isn't anywhere near as forgiving as coir. And that's what I always do.

Everything looks okay. Put the lid on and wait for it to colonize. Try not to check it everyday though, it'll take a little bit longer.

I plan to leave it just sitting there for at least a week before checking. Just to confirm though, clear lid is ok, the imperfections of the container should be sufficient for any exchange needed?

I also woke up to find some fluffy cotton on my cakes where the top of the jars were situated. X_X -sigh- time to get a PC and redouble my efforts. Don't play with your jars after inoculating folks

This is another reason why I enjoy my flowhoods so much more than a SAB. I do not recommend people do this, but many times in a time crunch I have used a torch to flame sterilize my scalpel with 99.9% iso(much easier to ignite than 70% stuff) soaked gloves. As long as your ISO soaked hands are downwind and preferably off to the side of the torch no fumes will reach the torch to be ignited because of the flow of air. Do not try this with a Bic lighter!

And yes I know everyone says to use 70% for mycology. I used to dilute to 70% but skipped the extra step and haven't had a problem. My 99.9% iso comes in 5 gal boxes on a pallet. LoL

Hey guys, just wanted to give an update on my progress here, at a week now, excited to see my first bulk coming together.


Here's a close up of the corner. Is it common for it to suck inward like this?


And that cottony stuff looks like mycelium to me, but I wouldn't mind getting a second opinion. I'd rather not zap it with H2O2 prematurely.

So what do you guys think? About another week to full colony?

First time to open it, was checking, but yeah. I'm wondering how much longer I should leave it be before peeking again. Looking at the picture, if I'm extrapolating correctly I got 10-14 days before I should even crack it again... First bulk though so I'm not sure

It's been a week and it's only colonized that much?
How thick of a top layer did you put on top of the mixed grains?

Corner looks fine to me.  There's no metabolites or weak mushroom myc around it so I'm guessing it's just more mushroom myc getting a bit fluffy and aerial near that corner.

Another week should be good.

Welcome to the party. 5 BRF cakes to a brick of coir. I realize this is not the ideal way to do things, but given all the trouble I'm having with fruiting another set of cakes, I think I'll be picking up a PC and switching to WBS and a monotub
