Ready to fruit?
    #22383891 - 10/15/15 03:15 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

It's been colonizing for around 3-4 weeks. I opened the top off 3 times and even tried laying down plastic wrap. First time doing bulk so I guess lesson learned. But anyways, what do you guys think? Would leaving it be a little bit longer lead to more yields or more risk for contams? I've heard that if you fruit without full colonization, then you're risking contams. Take a look at the bottom of my bin though, looks like water build up/nasty risk of contams. Was going to dunk first then case but now I'm kind of worried about that risk. Let me know what you think I should do! Thanks!

P.S. Planning on drilling 1&1/2 inch holes and doing polyfill/monotub tek

If you haven't already drilled your holes its going to be kind of a pain to do it with a colonized sub in there

The mushroom speaks: '"I am old, older than thought in your species, which is itself fifty times older than your history. Though I have been on earth for ages I am from the stars. My home is no one planet, for many worlds scattered through the shining disc of the galaxy have conditions which allow my spores an opportunity for life... How the hypercommunication mode operates is a secret which will not be lightly given to man. But the means should be obvious: it is the occurrence of psilocybin and psilocin in the biosynthetic pathways of my living body that opens for me and my symbiots the vision screens to many worlds"

lol I noticed the pinning when I went for the pic just now... I'm more worried about that goopy mess at the bottom of the trashbag right now than anything else. I want to dunk but maybe I should just case then dunk after the first flush. you think I should skip the holes/polyfill this time and just mist/fan or do you think I could cover the inside of where I drill the hole with a cup so when I drill it just falls into that cup for easy cleanup?

Case and keep the lid off except when you are out of the house for more than 5 hours at a time.

Just spray it 2-3 times a day to keep the casing moist.

Check this out though, fer realz

great advice! I had great results one time letting some pf jars get lots of open air and constantly misting. I appreciate your input and that sounds like a surefire way to avoid any nasty contams that might be at the bottom. any advice for what to do after the first flush?

UPDATE:

I carefully poured a little h202 down the sides of my tub, being careful not to let it run into the actual substrate. I figured this would help relieve any anxiety about a dunk going wrong, etc, etc. Hopefully this hydrogen peroxide doesn't seep through the bag and touch the sub directly (I don't see how it would). It's still making that bubbling noise a little bit, but I'm not too worried.

I wiped down the sides and the top of the bin with rubbing alcohol then cased the substrate. I put led rope lights around the bin and misted everything, leaving the top off. I think this is a very excellent strategy for now. Any other pieces of advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again!
