I pulled 40 ounces from the first flush in this 54q tub which made me very happy, this second flush is easilly going to top that. Side pinning is ludicrous tho.. Using Bod's harvest tek will hopefully give me decent access to the sides to pull those f&*$ers out from the side which are all around.
This fatty has a 2" stem what a monster! Nice L4 dose.. Gnenehehehe 

Those fruits are waterlogged
Too much misting. Let them breathe some. Stop worrying about rh

Thanx for the feedback Bod, indeed these fruits where different than before. Their stems were hollow. I hope/guess this doesn't influence potency? That 2nd flush was pretty allright thou at 45 ounces. One fruit nearly 5 ounces. Looking at the substrate (which I obviously kept too wet then) I think it might put out another 40-50 ounces. Pin set is still looking quite good and they're forming at a steady rate. I'll dial back on the misting then and see where that takes me. I previously upped the misting dosage as I noticed 5 minutes after misting the substrate seemed to have sucked up all the water. I interpreted this as a substrate that was hungry for water. But I understand I was mistaken.
Thanx for chiming in Bod.
And oh yeah.. Promise, RH will not be of any concern to me any more. (might keep the humidifier running in the room tho ?)

You can run the humidifier in the room. If your room RH is at 50% you shouldn't have to worry about anything with moisture of the tubs so long as you got field capacity right.
My house is like 20% rh if im lucky in the winter.
Pick your tubs up. That should give you an idea of how much water is in them. You'll get a feel for that dense heavy feeling vs needs water

At this stage I'll have to take your word -and I will- on the misting. Field capacity on this second grow/tub was okay. Poo/V/G, squeeze lightly, no dripping. I might experiment with some little variations in field capacity om my next tubs that now have their jars being colonized for them. See how that gives me a feel for things.
Would be interesting for me to weigh each tub at spawning, after first flush, second etc - minus the harvests from the starting weight and see if I can get a feel for water capacity and loss.. might prove to be pointless, dunno but would be easy to do.
But lets first bring this grow to a good end and see if I can pull off that 3rd flush. I would be happy seeing that come together and see if 130-150 ounces over 3 flushes of fruits is achievable before this tub is spent.
Fingers crossed

Fak... Did I just ruin my tub?
I applied Bod's harvesting Tek which has worked good before, so dunking it in the process. As was mentioned before I have overmisted for the past week prior to harvest leading to waterlogged fruits. Now 2 days after harvest of flush two there's some mold.. Want to kill myself... This grow was going quite well for a second try..

Whats going on here, toss this one out asap?

Will those be a source of rotting? And would there be any reason to pluck em out? (Which would be such a pesky chore)

They could be, but personally I'd just pick the larger ones and leave the small ones.. people cut fruits and leave the stumps all the time with no problems; they just fuzz up with myc like Mush showed. Up to you.

New to mycology and been following all your other easy af teks. You've gotten me from spores on agar to colonized whole oat jars and I'm about to try your bucket tek and this tub tek. Thank you once again for the tremendous effort you put into your posts and the knowledge you share.

Hi Quick but important question:
I'm about to switch from zoopoo to Coco just for the sake of scaling up my grows as PC'ing 20qt of dung (smell in the house) each week will freak the fuck out of my wife.
I found a supplier that sells 24 packs of 650 grams of coco for 28 monetary units. It is mentioned in the description however that the bricks consist of: Buffered at 5.5 PH coco grinds (the scale I presume) ánd coco fibers. It is also stated in the product description this coco material has ben washed with calcium nitrate and then washed with fresh water again. (process for getting the stable PH) Any ideas whether the CA-NO3 is (counter) beneficial? Also: any ideas whether coco grinds (scales) mix with fibers work.. or should I find just the fiber bricks? Thanky Thanky

Im guessing it will work just fine. That ph range is ideal for fungi anyway

Okay Bad, Thanx.
As you are using JUST coco for your substrate; the brand you're using, does it consist of ground scales and fibres? I always presumed coir consisted of somewhat ground up fibres (exterior of the nutt) and not of the nutt scale itself. It's not so much about the nutrient dimension of things rather the water keeping ability I was worried about. Scales wont be so soaky soaky I guessed..
