Shouldn't be an issue with contams.  You sub is contam resistant.  But dousing it in alcohol and drying it out wouldn't hurt anything.

I have taken the stuffing from pillows plenty, it works fine.
May find poly is a little softer, the pillow stuffing my pillow had at least was realtivly coarse.

Does this stuff look suitable? I have another pillow too if necessary.

I brought the tub over to under the lights and have the poly ready. But does it seem like I should wait another day to take the tape off? I don't wanna jump the gun or anything.

You should fruit that now, stuff those bottom holes tightly with poly :thumbup:

Looks like your tub could use more airflow, that mycelium needs to breathe :super:

I went ahead and took the tape off the topmost 2 holes for starters. I'm debating how much tighter I should make the bottom ones though. I'm weighing the pieces of poly, so I can go with a specific percentage. Would you go twice as tight on the bottom?

In between the loosest possible and the tightest possible,
Most likely 'medium'
But it will also depend a little on your environment like swamp or mountains can be different.
You will notice the substrates surface and the condensation around the fae holes will tell you if the density of poly needs adjusting.

If the sub is pinning i would increase fae (by reducing the poly in top or all holes)

I like the description, but can you gauge anything off where my top holes stand on that scale? I doubt this info would help, but the holes are roughly 1.1" and that's 0.7g of poly, stuffed midway through the hole.

Looks too tight. Fae is a pinning trigger remember so air moving through is a great thing,
Just not to the point of drying the substrate (less water to make mushrooms)

So maybe bottom 4 holes at that tightness and the top 2 half as loose?

Sounds good. I also want to link you to this pictorial on poly stuffing.

Thanks! hoping I'm somewhat dialed-in now from the start! [:ringy-dingy:]



if anyone catches the EDIT: am I being paranoid thinking I should spray the exposed poly with isopropyl? or is that bordering on ridiculous?

If your spawn was clean and you are using coir, or properly pasteurized poo you don't have anything to worry about, if it contaminates your spawn was bad from the start. The tub was spawned in open air with millions of contaminates landing on it, as said healthy myc is contam resistant. The poly isn't to keep out contams, some people have reused the same poly for years without cleaning it.

Also impossible to put into fruiting conditions too early, lots of people never tape holes and stuff with poly immediately after spawning.

NICE, I like that info! What I plan on doing is just keeping a close eye on the condensation, and depending which direction it goes, I'll adjust accordingly. In the process of removing the tape, Id say about half water droplets on the lid rained down on the sub. But judging by last time that happened, it's where all the axon-like tendrils formed, and I just know those are good.
