Slow vermiculite colonization
    #22207505 - 09/08/15 02:04 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Some time ago I bought an Easy Grow Kit. After growing mycelium on rye came time to colonize a layer of vermiculite. Instructions say that it should take around week, while I wait for a month and there are few white spots despite dark enviroment and right temperature. Any ideas how to speed up the process?

Pretty sure the vermiculite is just a casing layer, even in a kit. Fill it up with water and let it soak for at least 12 hour, though most people recommend 24, and then drain using the lid it may have come with, trying to keep the vermiculite in the box. If the mycelium isn't floating it may be dead.

looks healthy enough to give a quick soak or even a good squirt and get some fruits happening
