Right on man. As long as your getting good FAE without anything drying out you're golden.

Mono #10 is not exactly what you would call spectacular. I harvested a couple of the mature fruits which came out to 3.2 grams dry. It might be one of those monos that just doesn't flush, but rather just produces fruits a couple at a time.

The second flush on mono #7 was harvested today with a dry weight of 100.7 grams. Quite a good second flush with the typical second flush monsters making their appearance. This brings the total harvest weight on #7 to 280.7 grams, or just under 10 oz's, which I am very satisfied with. I didn't see any trich on the substrate, so it was misted and put back into fruiting for a third flush.

did you base your grow off a guide here on shroomery? if so, can you post a link? I'm entering the world of monotubs and am looking for a good place to start

Mono #5's 2nd flush came in with a dry weight of 100.7 grams. I think that at this point, I am going to end this experiment. The results seem pretty clear to me. Cased seems to outperform uncased, and a 1:2 spawn ratio delivers higher yields on the first flush with a lower rate of contamination. I have my eye on other projects, including a sclerotia grow, so I'm focusing on that for the time being. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Very cool and very well done.
So what were difference in times before you had a first flush off the 1/4 ratio and the 1/2 ratio. I was trying to figure out from your posts.

The 1:4 mono's that didn't contaminate (two contaminated before the first flush) yielded around 4 o's, and the 1:2 mono's yielded 5.5-6.4 o's.

Interesting result. 66%+ of the yield from 50% of the spawn. How full are your "quarts" of spawn?
--------------------
I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

My jars are about 3/4 - 4/5 full. I do get better biological efficiency from 1:4, but the contamination rate was 50%, which is why I think that I'll go with 1:2 in the future.

I feel like I've heard of people doing 1:10 and having it colonize in <10 days. Maybe you just had some bad jars there. Or they just weren't clean enough. The slower colonization made the mush mycellium too slow to stomp on any small amounts of contaminants before they got rolling? Hard to say.

IMO it's quite genetic based. There's some prolific genetics that push out a lot at 1:10 ratios. But they're usually picky. You can follow this thread of 1:10-1:12 wbs>pure hpoo. These particular genetics loved it when you fruit just as they're poking through the casing. If I did it any other way they'd just side pin. Basically just don't give up man. It took me many trays to see results lol
