Good to know. Thanks Pasty. I think I'm going to try and keep this one all tucked away until time for harvest...
The mycelium looks healthy. Conditions seem to be alright for now. I'll be going on a little vacation here in a few days so I'll have to make sure things are somewhat okay in lieu of my return.

I'm still too skiddish to fruit my ribs at spawning...but I am considering doing a side by side run in mini monos after my current project fruits, I'll commit to giving it a shot then.

Alright,
So... left on a business trip for 4 days and came back to this.

Got some big guys in there, but no shroom-splosion.
Hey, for something I thought was not going to produce anything-I am pleased.
This looks like a flush that is going to come in fairly uneven. So I guess it's time to pick the big ones and let the others go for a bit, eh? Also, it looks like I never got an evenly covered top substrate. Probably due to being in fruiting conditions during the spawn run?
Let me know what you guys think now that there's some life showing!

They need more air...increase fresh air by loosening your poly

Thanks. I will do just that!
I am new to indoor cubensis... what was one of the indicators that you saw that let you know low FAE was an issue?
I'll be starting a monotub's spawn run tomorrow and would like to be able to dial it in by what the mushrooms are telling me...
Thanks.

Wonderful. Thank you so much! I've enhanced the FAE and will post more pictures soon!

Pastywhyte said: Neither fruiting not spawning are sterile processes. Introduction of FAE will not hurt the spawn run, in fact people lately have taken to doing the spawn run in fruiting conditions. While that would be a horrible practice for a species like Hericium, for cubes it won't hurt a thing.
So, as I returned to work at the mushroom sanctuary I saw that we had a few new guys in our agar inventory. Looks like we have some Herecium going. Just a mother plate at this point labeled H. Americanum and another beside it labeled H. SC...I'm guessing we've got a client that wants to see what we can do with Lion's Wig. Might be something we'll try to sell alongside our oysters. Who knows... This will be the first time I've ever seen Hericium here.
I might need to start delving into some other forums on the Shroomery. Might help me out with work related items!

Hericium will pin invitro like a motherfucker so be careful with initiating tropisims with it. That was what my post was saying. Premature fresh air and possibly light can cause em to pin invitro which is a PITA. They are delicious tho, enjoy.

Hello Again,
So, another update. This is day "whatever the fuck it is" and it seems like my FAE problem is gone-zo!
I've pulled about 4.5 grams dry off of it so far and it looks like there's more to come. These guys are just about ready to go as well...
Check out the growth on top of that one little guy....looks funky...hehe

Let me know your thoughts.
I only used one PINT of spawn to 4 pints of coir/verm on this tub...lol
Hoping to get about 45lbs dry off this one!
I'm about 1/4500ths the way there...

I think your success here should be geared toward a monorub grow next time! Don't be afraid to investigate agar technique and make endless clean grain spawn. You have what it takes....
You can render your experiment a success to say the least.
Good job! Rating added!

I just spawned my first Monotub 2 days ago! Used Damion50/50's coir tek and about 5 quarts of WBS. Might be outdated technique, but I currently have it inside a black garbage bag in a room that is about 74 degrees. I peaked at it today and it seems to be coming along nicely. I am not going to do the spawn run in fruiting conditions on this one - as I did the tray. I'm going to try to get the whole block consolidated before I introduce FAE and Light...
I'll be starting a new post to log that grow soon.
While this one is going, I will begin looking into some agar methods that suit me and will probably take a tissue sample of the biggest baddest homeboy that comes off the monotub.
Exciting times to come!

It does not need to be in a garbage bag...,just have tape over the holes then stuff with poly at fruiting

Well, at least this means I can peak at it easier...
What was with the whole garbage bag thing anyway? Was that outdated information when everyone was scared of their mycelium seeing light until 100% colonized?

I am definitely not doing all the fun stuff! We've got a guy that plays in the hood and does all our agar + active work.
It is a nice spot to be at though, and I enjoy this job more than the others I have had.
I am going to ask about getting into that part of our ops soon though... I want to learn their secrets and relate it to my cubies! hehe 
Also- your signature is showing up real funk-house on my end. Might be my web browser but your signature is partial code/partial text... Might want to look into it.

Spent too much time staring at my other monotube and didn't notice these guys were wanting some air again. This was from yesterday. I increased the FAE and the fuzzy feet ran away again.
Check out that mutant. It doesn't get any cooler than that shit. Bahaha

Psh.
If he comes in with that fatherly bullshit I'll slam the door on him and tell him I don't love him anymore. That always gets em!
He just doesn't understand, you know?
