Anywhere between 1 spawn to 1 substrate to 1 part spawn to 4 parts sub
Not tek specific that just what works for spawning to bulk in general with cubes

Thanks for the quick response. Didn't realize there was a "search this thread" function.
SUPER happy to have found it.

I have seen some growers spraypaint the outer lower portion of the tub, to block light from entering the substrate through sides or bottom of tub if stacked, prior to fruiting. Do you feel this is a useful practice for any benefit? Or is it an unnecessary procedure?

Outdated old-school infromation. You don't need to paint/tape the bottoms of tubs. It was supposed to prevent side pins. Some people use liners some don't. Also to prevent side pins.

Liners don't prevent side pins either, proper surface conditions do... light is not a pinning trigger, full colonization and FAE (evaporation) are...

First timer here. Please excuse my newbyness guys. Used bods bucket tek. Used bods unmodified tub tek. this is first tub ever. im going to update harvest pics here in a few days. These were preliminary results and would surely continue using this method indefinetely. TY everyone for all the knowldege, this would not have happened if not for countless hours scouring the forum.

Your mushrooms have nice dark caps. Like the substrate is plenty full of water. I would guess overly wet actually. But the pinset a bit sparse. My guess for that would be too much air exchange without enough surface moisture or surface moisture maintenance to make up for the air exchange happening. You could mist very lightly more often or try to dial back the FAE so the surface maintains a morning dew glistening look.
All in all you got some nice fat mushrooms and its some of your first times growing so you're miles ahead of the people who put 50 posts in before even trying. Or that say they can't find what to do

Gave this tek a go with some untreated coconut husk - because it's free and farmers usually just burn it. Styrofoam tubs like this are everywhere too, plastic isn't cheap out here..
From a clone I found in someone's cow field across from my farm, this was the first test run with 2 quarts or so of spawn.

Still just pins but elated everything is working - no side pins this time either

Bodi ur exactly right about the conditions. I didnt want to under water/mist and dont have a perfect eye for the surface conditions as of yet. A little adjustment and should be good to go. I staggered my second tub to make any adjustments neccessary on the second run. Pinset for the second is coming in now. Thx again for the advice Bodi. My yield was unreal, atleast to me.

Just thought will update some progress n hopefully getsome insights.


This is basically my second unmod tub ever with B+,MS-a2g-g2g-coir/verm. Progression was funny as down under was hit with a heat wave , 40 deg C temps, i tried my best but running ac 24/7 wasnt an option.... few questions / observations 1. The caps are yellow compared to my first tub, i read somehwere that it maybe a sign of dryer substrate? 2. Once the sub shrinks n their is a gap between the tote wall n sub, that is a perfect spot for a microclimate n side pins... for my second flush i put some coir n sort of compacted it in to stop air flow / evap on the ends.is it worth it or is there a better way.?
his one is a bit of ghetto setup pls excuse the mess, 4 is secondflush from sub from my first ever shoebox, it was underpinning n side pinning crazy hence i put it like this 
1 is grass seed using violet invitro tek, i must have done something wrong but i couldnt fruit the damn thing till i added soaked coir casing. 2 is grass seed cake, again no fruiting so i took the cake out n dunked it like brf cake n put it on a foil over some coir (dripping wet) n baby sat this 3 times a day to get fruiting. 3 is grass seed , crumbled n mixed with coir (field capacity) on its second flush. Question, the shrooms in this tub generally were longer n thin, is it FAE? Any other obs from an experienced eye?
Please first time ever growing, excuse my naivety, i read n re-read forms before attempting n now just want any advice to consolidate experience n develop observation skills.
This wouldnt have been possible without this amazing community, i would personally like to kiss Bodhs's ass for the amazing noob friendly tek writeups.
Oh the crop so far has been something like Shoebox n various smaller containers combined approx 500g wet The 55litre tub has so far given 240g wet, first flush still in progress.. I have taken 2 clones n hopefully next tub will be a canopy i hate mutiple harvests on the same flush.

1. Light caps can indicate dry conditions 2.only way to prevent side pins is to maintain proper surface conditions... a more favorable microclimate 3. Long skinny stipes and small caps can indicate insufficient light, other than that, looks pretty good IMO! Especially for MS ... with good lighting, the caps Would be larger, and would've likely filled in a decent canopy

Thanks Caps for the quick response, I did have a 6500k CFL 20W above the tubs, but did not bother with a timer, something to do next time definitely. Also have a 2000 lumen flood light (LED, 6000k) will set that up to make sure the mushies can see the LIGHT 
I know this one is difficult to pinpoint, but the potency was quite low, i did lemon tek with approx 2 ~ 2.5 g on 10 hr fasting stomach, with max a slight body high n a some sleepy ness... yes I used a dehydraytor n they were cracker dry....
I hope my fat clones turn out more potent, plan is to do microdosing and get rid of SSRI. (which may be the reason for the no trip anyway)

SSRI was certainly responsible... you'll have to dump them first... I did it, you can; best decision I ever made... I prefer to dose big every few weeks to microdosing; just as effective IME and not such the hassle
