So far so good?
    #22255211 - 09/18/15 09:08 AM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Alright so this would be my second fruitful attempt, my first bulk and my first ECONOMICAL experiment.
IF this works out, that is.

I'm pretty confident in my project but I think I added too much water in my substrate 50:50 ; coir:verm.

It's been 6 or 7 days and progress has been a bit slower than expected but that's all just part of learning. Luckily my roommates like a cool temperature so air exchange is no problem if I open the door to my room. I just turned my fan on and left my door open so it could dry up last night.

Anyway these are the pictures I took this morning and I am extremely impressed with the progress within the passed 12 hours. The only patches of mycelium seemed to be around the edges and upon inspection I discovered that the substrate was significantly dryer around the edge than the non colonized, darker, wetter looking spot that was right in the middle of the tray.

This is the tray approx 10 hours after the described trays were exposed to air exchange





And I have these more square trays with deeper substrate that I suspect is going to take much longer to recover from over saturation.
I have 2 but the progress is about the same.

So are these cased or is that just your bulk sub??

That's just sub colonizing...

So cover them back up until they're 100% white. They're not fully colonized if that's not a casing.

Yeah. No fresh air exchange until its 100% and in fruiting.

Is aluminum foil enough or should I cover it with something else? I haven't checked the progress since pics were taken

Pinning has been triggered, probably from fresh air exchange.

I'll consider this tray my sample and have a nice trip before these other trays get going

So I got like an ounce wet from each tray first flush.... Not fully colonized and I can see how bad it is when you fruit before then.

Oh well, the situations surrounding this experiment should not have yielded shrooms at all, but I had a nice life lesson from them and the fresh shroom trip seems a lot more wholesome compared to dried trips

Congrats on the grow!! :pipesmoke:

Never had a chance to try fresh cubes before.

My set/setting was always off when my shrooms were ready for picking :lol:
