Is it gonna work out?

Hey all, hello from the UK. After listening to my friend threaten to start up this hobby for 2/3 years, I eventually beat him to the punch. I started with a Mycofarm bag kit and a Thai purple syringe. Things went reasonably well and it`s probably gonna produce a 3rd flush. After a bit of reading I went on to take it out of it`s humidity bag and put it in to a shotty.
After sampling the whole first flush, I knew I wanted to grow bulk. Fast forward to where I`m at now (and it is literally fast forward) due to eagerness and information overload Ive made some super noob mistakes. And I now know I need to slow down a bit. I was aiming for Damions coir tek, but have since realized I have not used enough spawn. To be 100% honest I`m not even 100% sure whats growing and if it will go full term before being taking over by nasties due to a low spawn ratio. My temps are little low at around 25. This is 3 litres of verm, 2.5 pints of spawn, a good half cup of gypsum and a full block of coir. Layered not mixed (blushes...) And not leveled very well(Didnt want my hand in it too long because of contams) 7 days in, will it work? Any imput at all will be greatly received. RD.

I`m gonna get some shrooms at least, considering I only used 2.5 pints of spawn to the full block of coir...

You should definitely mix it instead of layering. IME, the only time layering is best is when working with straight straw because the spawn will just fall to the bottom.
If your spawn is clean, you could go take a dump and wipe with nothing but your hand, then go spawn and still get mushrooms. Fruiting is not a sterile procedure, it does not need to be sterile. If you ever see a contam before/around your first flush, you can rest assured that it was already in your spawn. Especially when using coir since it's so resiliant to contams.
Some have used as little spawn as 1:8 Spawn to bulk ratio... Successfully.. And all because they had clean spawn.
Goodluck with your grow

Thank you Peeps.
SL, like I said I was mad keen and it was an info overload, some of it outdated it seems. Not to worry, I`ve more grain colonizing and I`m a bit better educated now (Not much mind) . The more I read the more things get confusing but interesting. I think this hobby is under my skin now... Again, thanks you for the input guys. Watch this space. Peace, RD.

im no expert, but i have NEVER seen myc grow exactly like that haha. it looks like its reaching for the ceiling. again, which is usually and or always a sign that it needs more fresh air. youll still get mushies tho im sure (:

ive seen pics like that before. many times. prolly is just reaching for air, or looking for something else to colonize. seemed to turn out alright, though.

Erm yeah... Both my tubs grew different. I think I mis-counted the water in one and put one jug too much in. I got fuzzy myc colonization type growth in one tub but it seemed to stall, and got very slight pooling under the tub liner in the corners. And palm trees in the other tub . Luckily the tubs we get here have slight depressions in the corners to form external "feet" if you get me, so they are acting as mini soak aways, so I could see way too much was evapourating. Ive since dialed the poly in the top holes and tub #2 is now fruiting(17 days after spawning). A case of lack of FAE and too humid I`m thinking.

Just try and limit what you read to newer stuff. Thing that were released in the last 5 years are generally more consistent in their methodology.

you should try pasty's tek if you have never done agar. Once you get a little used to agar you could try a pour tek if you need more plates done quickly. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19208976/fpart/1/vc/1/nt/229
