Don’t know if it’s frowned upon here but I’m cross posting from cult general. Does anyone know if having excessive surface grains fucks your yield? I have a shit ton of surface oats and I’m only seeing knots form in the very few sections of coir on the surface, close to no knots forming on the myc that formed on top of the grains. Wondering if I’m about to see a flush of barely any shrooms

IMO, that spawn jar is way too bacterial to get expanded to a tub.  Almost all of the grains in contact with the glass have that smashed wet look to them.

I'd attribute this to not properly dried grains.

Any opinions what I should be doing here.. these started pinning 4/5 days ago? they look kinda stringy and unhealthy to me.. are these dehydrated? its really dry here but can I just add maybe like 100ml water to the substrate?

More pics.. pulled out those bigger ones and some pins that didn’t have fuzzy stems.. slight yellowing of the sub in parts seems like overhydration but the sub does seem to have had some shrinkage so I don’t know.. I have taken the lid off to try maximize the fae but any opinions to try save this grow would be appreciated.

Question on the estimate of final weights: 
650g of coir in your grow and 220g of dry oats per quart
say you use 5q of spawn to one brick 650g of coir for a a tub
that's a dry weight of ingredients of 1750 grams.
to calculate BE it's wet weight / dry weight of everything used
so you will need 1750 wet grams or 350 grams wet per quart to achieve 100% BE
my cubes dry up to be about 93% water usually
1750 wet gives me ~122.5 dry or ~24.5 dry per quart.

so anything over 24.5g dry per quart is over 100% BE for me. simply 1oz dry per quart is over 100%(~114%) and 2oz dry is over 200%(~228%)

Is this for all flushes total or for each flush?  I did my first harvest from one tub and got a total of 2.25 oz dry/63.78 grams.  Is that good? waiting on second flush now.




About a day late on plucking them out

Has anyone had success dialing in their tubs by switching the lid position on a cycle?

Like mist, put the lid on normally unlatched, wait till it gets pretty fogged up, flip the lid wait till if/when it needs a mist, rinse repeat

You should begin fruiting conditions immediately though don’t worry about spawn run.

With the lid make very tiny adjustments to start out and give it a day while keeping an eye on it. I’ve got very low humidity so it’s more extreme for me but even opening the lid gap like a centimeter can make a huge difference.




Does anyone else in an arid climate have issues with the top layer of the substrate drying out before fruiting?

I live in a super arid climate, basically a desert, and I’ve successfully completed 4 separate GT unbodified tub grows, but still struggle with the substrate going bone dry on the top layer - specifically near the 4corners in each tub. My substrate never really fully colonizes on the top layer where you’d normally get a totally white mycelium surface.. It’s usually about 75% colonized. That being said, I don’t seem to have any issues with the tubs actually producing fruit. I always get a nice pin set, although somewhat spotty on the first flush - especially near the corners of the tub where it’s bone dry on the surface.

My RH is usually below 20 and the tub walls go bone dry nearly 1 day after spawning my 7qts of spawn to the tub and the substrate starts to dry out after about 3-4 days. I’ll lightly mist the walls and substrate every other day or so to bring back some moisture to the tub/sub but not too much as to not make it too moist in there inviting contam.

I’ve tinkered with lid placement a little bit as well as tub placement in the room, but chalked it all up to my arid climate. I often wonder if the air drafts in the room from opening and closing the doors in the house causes these dry spots - that air is just bone dry here so I feel like I’m constantly battling dryness during colonization.

My lids are flipped the entire grow cycle, so I’m wondering if I need to cut down just a little bit on the FAE during the initial tub colonization period and possibly add a humidifier to the room to keep it around 50%+ RH. Maybe I’ll start with a little less FAE for the first week or so and report back.

Anyone else experience this in arid climates?! If so what were your solutions?

If you suspect drafts may be causing the issues, try putting something in between the tubs and the suspected cause of the drafts.

You can slightly over-wet the top layer of straight coco to help - this also seems to help with side pins to some extent in my tubs.

I stage my lid flips as I have similar issues with it drying out.  After spawning I'll leave the lid closed but unlatched for 2 days, then push the top back about 3/4" so it rests on the top edge of the tub until they are mostly colonized, then flip it once it can hold moisture beads on the surface.  It's not foolproof, but it seems to work in my situation/environment.

This might’ve already been asked, but I’m not trying to read through 156 pages of this. I got the specific tub mentioned in the tek. When I put the lid on upside down, there’s space for air to come in almost all around the whole lid, not just where the handles are. Is that right, or did I grab the wrong lid when I bought it? Thanks!

Yeah, mine have a little space around most of the tub so that's normal.  Unless you have a pic, it might be the completely wrong but but if it latches on just fine, then I wouldn't worry.

Experiment:

going to try this tek in a 66cm by 48cm and 18cm deep tub

Like a giant shoebox

I think the shorter walls will make the FAE stronger and easier to dial in.The increased surface area will hopefully equal a greater surface area and more fruits per flush. Normally a 80Qt mono would have a similar surface area but is way harder to grow in.

See how it goes

Hey guys, have an unmodded, extra small B+ monotub, lid upside down, that had its first flush of only about 10 grams (dry).. that was a little over a week ago, and it has slowed down significantly (only 1 or 2 grams since).

It appears to be dry around the bottom and edges, even when misting every day- and has shrunk quite a bit around the edges. When I "over misted" all around the tub.. a few hours later the top would look too wet and the bottom would have some pooled water that needed to be spilled out.. but the edges and bottom remained looking dry shortly after. No obvious signs of contam.

So wondering if I should fill the whole tub with water and put something on top of it to weigh it down and keep it under the water.

​My questions are- A.) Is this necessary?. B.) How long should it stay submerged? C.) Is reverse osmosis water right from the tap ok? and D.) what should I use to weigh it down?

also wondering- how often should you change the water in the mist bottle? I have a medium sized glass bottle with plastic sprayer cap I fill with reverse osmosis water. It would last over a week.. but I change it every 3-4 days. Should it be changed every day?


thanks!

Hey folks!

I have 20 jars of PE grain spawn that are ready to move into tubs. I'm reading lots on casing and there's a lot of back and forth.

Has anyone recently completed one of these tubs of PE? What was your casing strategy? When did you case and how deep was your casing?

Thanks!!

Tedsdeads casing strategy. Apply 1/2” peat based casing right as they fully colonize.. once the casing is fully colonized, case again with 1/2”.. patch until pins.  Keep casing moist.. I usually have to mist every other day

Do whole oats have a shelf life for this specific usage? I've had a new unopened 1kg bag for about 8 months. Still ok?
