The 1tdu2 is nice because it can support a much larger filter later on if the need arises. But instead of blocking the incoming air, could I put vent hoes on the back of the plenum? that way it can release some of the pressure without impeading the motor. I would think that blocking the intake would still lead to premature wear on the blower. If it was only like 10% reduction, I wouldn't worry, but I would need to reduce it by half.

Maybe but its not hurting anything to choke the intake these blowers are made to work hard

I feel ya. I'm making the switch to bags and I'm not trying to mess with them in my SAB. It's served me well and I will continue to use it.

 Fuck grass seed. I clearly over hydrated it, and its dark froma coffee soak. I'm fairly certain it is bacterial, but it has taken nearly 7 weeks to get this far. I'm gonna beat it with duct tape (i didn't/couldnt shake it at 30%) and let it recolonize fully then spawn to coir in a shoebox.

don't shake that grass seed jar.
Your best bet would be to top fruit it as is with some casing on top.

Why not? You think its contam? It's been continuing to colonize, just slowly.

Yea it looks like bacteria.
You could try birthing it like a PF tek cake and remove all the bad grains from the bottom(without letting them touch any of the clean myc).

That was my first thought, rocking it as a cake. I think I will do that, but I am going to let it finish first, the whole bottom inch looked like that for a while, but slowly it has continued on. Is there an alternative to rolling in verm? I don't particularly care to work worh verm, I have before and considering you can bulk and case with straight coir I have chosen to abandon it, but if I reall meed it for this grain cake I might grab a bag.

What is exactly meant by recovery. Some people say 48 hours and some 24 hours. Do they mean all they grains should stick together in that time or just that the mycelium will get all fuzzy again. In one day the mycelium all fuzzed up again but it didn't stick back together. That took a bit over 48 hours. I feel like it's one of those questions I keep forgetting to ask. Sometimes I like to shake my jars when they are about 10 percent if they are moving slowly and that seems to speed things up instead of at 30 percent especially when it get's really thick and just seems to be creeping along slowly. Should I be waiting till about 30 percent and why? I feel like their is a lot of stuff I learned through osmosis here but never really stopped to question more deeply.

If my jars make it to 30 I'll shake. But I shake whenever the jar seems to stall. I've done it at 10% too and things worked out.

So you mix your grains with coir 2 weeks ago, am I right? To me it looks like its been mixed with coir just yesterday.

Hey OOZE. From what I can see there is some good mycelial growth but like he said above it looks like yesterday. I'm thinking you might want to trade that duct tape out with micro pore tape of polyfill to allow for more gas exchange. That might be why it's so stalled.

huh, well yea. i mean the tub has been totally sealed and it's mostly been cold. things seem to really slow down growth wise at this temp. i bumped the heat up to about 80F. going to see if the mycelium responds with growth. it seemed to love warmer temps when it was on a agar.

yea that one spot in the photo is dry, but my last tub was too wet. i'm going to keep this one on the dryer side. it's a small tub. i really want to avoid over watering. i'll go take a gander at it though since you said something.

You should see all the new 'inoculation' points fuzz up. I wouldn't expect it to colonize other grains for another 24 hours at least. I've noticed there's a sweet spot for when to shake. Depends on the culture and grain prep.
