Awesome, thanks man! I was thinking 3 more days should be good, then I'll go ahead and case it!

I'm still debating whether I should fruit immediately after casing with the Jiffy mix or wait till the mycelium starts poking thru? Hmm...



For Jiffy follow Frank's tek which I believe says 30% colonization.

I'd wait that extra three days and see if it whitens up.

Alright guys, it's about time to case this tub, I checked on it again and it smelled okay, no sour smell or anything. The surface is covered in a light mycelial network. It's not as thick as some of the other tubs I've seen, but that could be due to the strength of the culture I'm using. And, there is a tiny pin on the surface, as well as distinct knotting in some areas of the tub. I'll be prepping my jiffy casing mix and applying a thin layer over the surface tonight!!

Soo no casing, not even a thin layer. There is only one tiny pin on the surface, but the rest of the surface looks like it did yesterday, just light mycelium.

Case and fruit :lol:,

To me that's blotchy, maybe I've never worked with a culture like that :shrug:

That's what I thought, lol, I'll be prepping the jiffy mix soon, pasteurize it, wait for it to cool down, then sprinkle it over the surface evenly. Then I'll let that colonize until I see the mycelium starts poking thru, then I'll fruit it and stuff the holes with polyfil :grin:

Yeah, it was originally started from a brf paste jar back in June, I did a transfer from that to a new jar and let it grow out again. The syringe used was from my leftover grow, probably just bad genetics, that's why it's blotchy. Anyway I should have at least some decent fruits to clone come fruiting time! :dancer:

Day 10: Another tiny pin has popped up, cased with a thin layer of pasteurized jiffy mix( basically just sprinkled over the surface till no white was showing). I've read that late casings should be fruited immediately, because the tub has moved out of it's colonizing phase to the fruiting phase. Would keeping it in its colonizing phase for a bit longer (until the mycelium pokes thru to 30%) be beneficial and promote stronger fruit formation or will it confuse the sub and stall out? I think I am over-thinking this a bit :lol: , but I seem to be at a crossroads and don't know what to do.  :willynilly:

If it's that thin I'd just fruit immediately.

That's what I was leaning towards doing. There was also a bit of knotting on the surface before I cased, which was a good indication that it's ready to be fruited. I'll be stuffing the holes with polyfill now and placing the tub under a skylight in my attic (75f during the day) to get some good natural lighting. It's fruiting time!!! :awedance:

I used to colonize and fruit under natural sunlight. IMO, keep them out of direct sunlight. It tends to heat up the tub and dry out the substrate. Indirect but strong light is best. Remember, you're limiting air that comes in so the direct light gets trapped and light is energy that converts into heat so the tub will end up getting hotter and hotter.

Just in case you were going to put them right in front of the light :lol:

Lol, yeah I know, last time I fruited under the skylight, I placed it behind where the suns ray's were hitting. Seems to really help the tub get going. My best grow was in the same location too. The only thing is that sometimes the temp in the room will climb to 80f. Not sure if I should keep it there or just leave it in my room(77f) where I had it originally. I don't think it'll make that BIG of a difference. I just want to get the best possible lighting for my mushies. :awesomenod:

:rockon:,

Honestly I recommend shop lights, less light energy heat-related problems. Regardless, should be a great tub.

:goodluck:

Thanks I was thinking' of getting the daytime 6500K bulb and hanging it over the tub, but I think it'll be an overkill, I seem to have an adequate lighting source right now. Here's how things are looking so far. Bottom holes stuffed tight, and top holes kept loose.

Thanks I'll have to adjust that polyfill to dial it in correctly, I think it might be on the thick side. I'm reading through Frank's tek now. :cheers:

Frank's folding tek has been a godsend for me.  I use it to stuff my bottom and top holes as well as my jars.  I just use varying degrees of starting thickness depending on my goals.
