First Bulk Grow. Not so bad.

So today I spawned my jars. Just wanted some feedback to see if it looks ok.
pasteurized coir/verm at 70C for 60 Min's.

Spawned into 2 trays 1L of popcorn 2L of bulk per tray.

I mixed evenly 2.5 inch deep.

Covered in foil and put inside a tote.

Constructed my SGFC also

I understand I should wait a week and peek inside right? If the top is colonized I should case with 0.5 inch of verm and begin fruiting?

That's a lot of holes in your FC. Should be okay but I'd tape up some of the holes if you find you are losing too much humidity. Peace. Spock

Make sure you hydrate that verm before you apply it to the surface

After applying the verm case do I incubate further or put into the FC.

Good to fruit yep  I only used 1/4 inch of verm to patch but I could have been following an old tek Still turned out fine. Whenever I started to see myc growth near the surface I jist covered with another 1/4 inch verm at field capacity.

Does the verm need to be sterile?

Please refrain from posting advice on topics you have little knowledge in.
Taping up the holes would hinder airflow, effectively lowering the RH even further.
Humidity comes from evaporation, which occurs with airflow.

No need for incubation, you could either let it colonize for an additional day or 2 and then fruit it, or fruit it right after applying the casing layer.

The holes are 1/4 inch diameter, 2 inches apart, all the way around, I understood this to be tthe correct way to construct it?
I think I'll case in 1/4 inch verm and put to fruit.
Should the verm be sterile?

Yes, that is the correct way to build a SGFC.
Dont mind spock, he belongs in the pub and not in mush cult lol.
You could sterilize the verm, but straight out of the bag works just as well.

Cool, sounds good thanks.
Do you think the trays look alright?
I mixed 1:2 ratio but it seemed more like 1:1

Looks like 1:2 to me I have yet to hear anything really great about popcorn. Keep us updated! And I wouldn't worry about sterilizing verm too much. But if it gives you piece of mind, then by all means.

I wanted to use Rye originally but I couldn't find it in Sweden, so i just thought id give corn a go.
To be honest I thought the jars would contaminate before i got to this stage lol. As i didn't use a PC,
But so far so good, hopefully when i take the foil off these trays its not green
How long should i wait before looking? 1-2 weeks?

No need to be a douche. The man(woman?) asked a question and no one helped. I answered that he should be okay but said what I'd do. I'm not some mushroom dork who spends all of their time on the internet who needs a ribbon that says I'm a "trusted grower" or needs to be rude to others to feel good about myself. I don't even grow mushrooms anymore. But I do have many years experience in this hobby and know that it is not hard to grow mushrooms. I know how humidity works too and too much air flow leads to drying of substrate leads to less humidity. But I'm no expert on SGFCs. Peace Spock

I was not being any more of a douche than you were when telling OP to tape up holes in a SGFC.
If the cakes start to dry out, that is when misting is needed, not tape.

Giving people shit advice is not the same as "helping". Being able to pull a few fruits is easy. No one said it wasn't

Being a douche is being a douche. Saying what I would do is not giving shit advice. It just isn't. One could "pull a few fruits" in a box with no holes and no lights. Saying what I would do if situation x happens is not giving shit advice(unless I'm saying to case with salt or some shit). I really don't care a lot but you guys should really check yourselves for real. There is no one way of doing this. Or start a church because there is no bible of shrooms afaik. If someone tries to help and you don't agree then it is very easy to say so without being a dick. I've grown mushrooms for a long time. I've learned a lot here at the Shroomery over the last 13+ years. If you don't agree then it is easy to respectfully say so. Especially as mods you both should know better than to come off as some type of shroom nazi. I don't give too much a fuck but what about the next guy who is too timid to dare disagree with you. Bad look man.
Peace Spock

No one said there is only one way to grow mushrooms. But there are correct ways to run a SGFC and incorrect ways to run a SGFC. If you are not familiar with its function, it would be better to be quiet.
At any rate PF was not rude, he didn't call you a moron or say you were an asshole. He simply asked you not to give advice on things you don't understand. By your own admission you don't understand the principles of a SGFC.
I am not always right. But when I am wrong I am man enough to admit it.
