Lazy Viking Grow

Hi time i stop lurking around and join the fun here on shroomery thought i should start showing of my grow and get some feedback on my work (i am a super noob)
so far i have 3 bags spawning from a "strain" (correct me if im wrong) called McKenaii. i havent read so much about others growing this strain or any info so much other then whats available on the merchant website where i got the spore syringe i use.
i have grown one pf cake before, and as lazy as i am i ordered mine fom a supplier near me. but this time i ordered 3 new ones and got bags of rye grain...
so anyways i inoculated 1 week ago and this is how they look so far 

btw i read somewhere but i cant search of my dyslexia to find it that its no prob to fruit a rye grain cake without significant loss? is this just jibbirish`? but is it okay to put a rye cake inside a shotgun fruiting chamber without casing?
*update 1 20/08/16 okay i wasn't an idiot and i finally got it out of my head to fruit a rye cake :P

(crumbled one bag) was told that i had mad bacteria though so i just crumbled up one to see the myc eating it up more 
*Update 2 21/08/16
lookin better after that crumbling compared to the one i havent crumbled, eat that shit up! :P
 
*Update 3 22/08/16
ok i might have panicked abit and put it all to bulk (cast away uncolonized grains since i thought mad bacteria attack commin :P) hope it was okay. so now i have a fucked up monotub and too much substrate so its covering up the side holes lol. so all in all i mixed rye grains and coco coir only with a fine coir layer on top.

*Update 4 26/08/16
things are happening so trying to take some pic with my potato camera :P

*Update 5 28/08/16

*update 6 01/09/16
things look like speeding up 

(water is comming) were i live its fucking humid at this time of year with temperature swings like crazy so i easily get water in my tub building up.

*Update 7 02/09/16
fuck yeah new camera to show of how fucked up my stoned tup is :P

  
and water keeps rising :P

*Update 8 05/09/16
okay things was put into fruit as best as i could so i squeezed polyfil into the blocked holes on the sides so it got some "gas ex ange"? hehe droplets everywhere looks like pearls on my myc, cant stop watching haha.
 
but water keeps rising and is here to stay lol
 
but i found these snacks outside so im content ^^

i love growing mushrooms but damn i have a hard time keeping a lid on my patience gaaaad :P i feel i can satisfy my patience with my cannabis plants since i easily see growth from both sides in my hydro all the time but with my mono i just keep staring into the tub all day haha :P
btw you guys want some pics of my two ladie plants too? ^^
*Update 9 13/09/16 Knots have arived! 
  
*Update 10 17/09/16
Awwyeah some pin porn

A rye cake is terrible and most definitely not worth your time and effort. Make BRF cakes. No need for a pressure cooker with BRF.
Rye bags and jars are spawned to bulk substrates like CVG. We do not fruit Rye as cakes by itself.

buy a brick of coir, find user "damion5050" 's coir tek. AKA the bucket tek. do the bucket tek on a brick of coir mix with your colonized rye. fruit it in a monotub. links in my signature also will go to these threads and ones you can use to actually get something for your efforts

been reading about something a user "Violet" keeps saying that aslong aslong as you provide water for the myc i can just case the rye cake with verm "roll and dunk" untill no grains are exposed and the result should be good in an SGFC right? or if i have missread hes words im sorry about that.
just curious about an lazy method and how much it yelds compared to a bulk so i think i will atleast take one of the bags and try this with casing a cake and the rest of the two i will use the bucket tek

violet's techniques are controversial, at best.
but to compare yields between an sgfc full of rye cakes, and a monotub with cvg... I would say the monotub would produce at least 4-5x as much. don't quote me on that figure... but it would be significantly more than the cakes.
idk how you long you have been watching this board, but how many people in active, new topics do you see using violet's teks? practically nobody. everyone pretty much does pf-tek, bulk bottles, or bulk tubs.

true true i havent read someone post anything about it anywere near recent time so i was just overly curious since i was looking for some real comparisons and if there are picture and proof hehe and hey mabye alot of knowlage has changed durring the past years so hence my curiosity pluss my suplier screwed me ower by sending me plain sterilized rye grain instead of a bag of BRF so i could be super lazy and just start birthing them in SGFC.
so now i was just wondering what to do with the 3 bags of rye grain that i have. can i be lazy and birth them after dunking them in water and covering the shit out of them with vercumlite or is there anyother smart or dumb ideas to look over?
i will do a bulk since i have never done it before so im abit scared but curious to learn.
but i was also curious about the other 2 bags i have (2 kilo each bag) i can just bulk them too but like to see some comparison results from different methods and finaly kill my curiosity about birthing a rye "cake"

okay... we start over :P
now i got sterilized 4 new bags that i want to inoculate with some spore water that i have 


dafuck is wrong with the mckenaii one?

how much cc would be recomended for 1.5 kilo rye grain`?
it looks like my monotub is growing but its so shit to take pic so i will wait more days before i start the fruiting. or should i just start fruiting my bacteria infected monotub? :P

donk know i have dyslexia so this forum i often get caught up :P anyways i didnt follow any of violets things i read. i simply just used a bucket tek and layered a coir casing in a monotub that looks wierd  so far i think it looks ok but thats why im showing of so i can get all kinds of comments on my work

some update on my tub 

it looks super humid in there... there are droplets on the mycelium on the top of my casing (i used coir as casing and now the casing is getteng chewed up)
should i fruit it now?
i know its pretty uneven inside thats why abit spread colonization. pluss i kinda fucked up when i made my tub so it only has 2 holes on each side in the top of the handle. and there are pooling water on the side im wondering if i should drain or leave since my substrate is inside a bag inside the tub.

its all a casing layer of coir ontop of substrate mixed of rye grain and coir mix.
my monotub was constructed horribly wrong so pluss i might have been too high from some cakes my wife made me that day.
the problom of my tub is that i have 2 holes on each side but substrate is over the holes so i just keep them covered. now i have 1 hole on each side of the tub with poly in it, and i see condensation disapearing in a ring around my polyfil holes in a nice smal radius.
what do i do from here? since i think to myselfe that i kinda fucked up :P

as you can see the substrate is way over the planed holes (i admitidly was too high at the moment and put substrate for 3 tubs into this one...)
what can be done here? :P to go into fruiting mode

Knots have arived!
i do hope im looking at alot of pins all over my tub now 
i didnt find a charger for my camera -___- so this is the best i have now.

oh and btw i dont have a timer in my room and here in Scandinavia now days are getting way less sunlight by time so im wondering is it okay to just flip on my room light which should be a "ambient sunlight" with the right k. should it be 12/12 or can it be just when i wake up? or 24 hours all day long? :P

Im assuming this is a monotub? But I dont see holes or polyfil
EDIT: Just checked your design and it needs at least 4 more holes. Preferably at sub height

yeah the design is all shit since the sub got too high :P so it got 4 holes but not at the correct hight.
i dont use polly its micropore tape that i thought id try out after seeing about its use here 
so now im just trying to fruit this mono as best as i can

So what youre saying is that there are 4 holes. But they are covered by your liner and substrate in such a way that it doesnt allow proper airflow?

here is how funny it looks :P
 
basicly i pushed and packed polly there before so the sub would be collonized with space from the hole. then now i removed the polly after seing how micropore tape was used so i thougt it would be better that way with more space from the sub and the hole.
and now the shrooms want to escape down trough the holes ^^

Haha yeah I removed all the poly from my holes for better air flow because of fuzzy feet and they grew out of the holes, that's when I started cracking the lid and turned a fan on

Wow I guess I underestimated just how lazy the viking grow really was  Im assuming you already thought about drilling 4 new holes at the correct depth and jist figured fuck it? Your shrooms are choking and this seems to be giving you some sort of sick satisfaction

yeah all i had to cut new holes was a knife and fire at the time so i just thought fuk it... not giving me a sick satisfaction just currious on whats going on. okay they are choking and how would i resolve that now?
i have 3 other tubs that have correct sub hight at holes and so on so this is just my first and rushed and lazy set up. so this is how to learn from lazy mistakes :P

Maybe even remove both layers of tape. I would seriously consider new holes though

If you really dont want to drill new holes I would at least see how no tape will treat your tub first. But fire and a hot nail poke a bunch of holes in a circular fashion and then take your knife and cut between each hole? Idk man do they not have rotary drills where youre from? Hole saw may be a good investment if youre serious about this hobby.

yes a drill is already on my investment as is a food dehydrator  monday i get mine sallary so then i will be getting a propper drill and a propper dryer.
when i started out i had not so manny things so i wanted to see how far i got with being abit lazy on this grow and using abit ghetto ways to "fix" things. so i can say i am more than happy to see it pooping up some nice shrooms, just how to save them from chocking... that is the lesson of today poor FAE gives huge socks of fussy feet :P
so im hoping i can show off some more effort job after this grow :P

When I made my tubs I just heated a knife with a torch. I didn't want to drill because I tend to put too much pressure and the plastic cracks. Using the hot knife might also be better because you won't have plastic shavings inside your fruiting tub and the circle you cut out usually hangs onto the tub by threads so it won't fall onto your sub surface. Just don't breath too much of the melting fumes.

Twist and pull when ready and get some prints while your at it. Just have the lid kinda of titled and off with a fan works well.
