Day 2 of first pins, what y'all think.

This is my first time growing. As of yesterday morning when I woke up, I started to see some pinning. This is day two and I think it looks okay. What do you guys think? Is that a lot or is that only a little bit that's inside of that tub? I did not take the lid off and take a picture, I just opened up one of the top holes. So there are probably more spots that you cannot see that have pins as well

I have the four bottom holes tightly stuffed with polyfill and the top two holes are really loose

What do your rings look like around your bottom holes? Those can usually tell a pretty good story; they should be about a half inch thick all the way around the holes on the bottom. Any bigger and you should try tightening up the polyfil, any smaller and you may want to loosen things up a little bit at the top.
Looking good, though, nice pinset!

As you can see, I did not put a liner in any of my tubs. I don't care about the cleanup and I want as many pins as I can get. I don't care if they are on the sides because I bought 20 brand new scalpel and I will make sure I get everything I can. I might even have bottom pins and if so, that would be a lot of mushies!! Haha.

I know a lot of people use liners and don't have to worry about bottom pins, but as I said, I did not use one. What is going to be the easiest way to pick the bottom pins because as you see, I'm using black mono tubs LOL. So I cannot see if I have any or not regardless, but I assume I would. I don't want to break my substrate when I do my first harvest, so what would be the best way?

If your substrate colonized fully, you can usually tip the tub over after harvesting the surface and let it fall out while you support it with your other hand. They're pretty sturdy, to the point where some folks have used mycelium bricks as building materials in experiments and art installations. Just pull your sub out as one big brick.

I've never heard of flipping over substrate? Never done it either.
Im not sure how that would work or if it would work right. Maybe you should do some more research before you do that.
fuck, 35 grams wet is about 3 dry. It's nothing compared to the monsters you'll see on here.
thanks tho, but trial and error. That tub was actually a MS of b plus. If you want some gnarly tubs like that on a consistent level you'll have to get into agar and isolation. It takes allot of time and hard work.

I have been looking at a lot of different things to do. Trial by error. I have found that even though I'm doing all of my tubs the same way, some of them are colonizing different and slower and some of them are going to produce at a different rate and amount

It's hard to stop looking at them every four or five hours, but every time I do go in there and look, they are getting bigger. Lol

Definitely know that feeling. I just moved into a new place, so all I have going right now is a dozen of jars. It's hard to resist the urge to check on them ten times a day.

thank you. I'm just hoping that the rest of the tubs will eventually look like that as well. They get bigger every time I look at them. LOL

I have not loosen my polyfill up or anything or done anything different, but I wake up this morning and my monotub was a little bit more moistened and more water on the walls than normal. I think some of these have to be picked today, and my correct? Because it looks like they are opened up and I don't want spores falling. It looks like they opened up early

Looks like you can pick quite a few of them  I would snip the ones with broken veils with a pair of scissors and then pick everything once the stragglers break veil

Did you end up noticing a lot of side pins? Looks like your surface did the majority of the work. Nice harvest!

Nice work! Might be a good idea to mist the sub now  I hope you invested in a food dehydrator to take care of those fruits!!

It's funny because yes it did produce side pins, but they were going straight up and not to the side on the side of the substrate. The only thing I am upset about is none of my other tubs look like they are gonna be anywhere near like this and I followed the same protocall. So I am not gonna get much yield. And I don't consider this one to be that much either. Not when I see people getting like 6 to 8 ounces on a tub first flush.

Dude don't sell yourself short on this tub. Just cause others arent doing as well this one did pretty damn well for a MS grow. Cmon man give yourself a pat on the back. Just think, with more experience you're only going to have nicer grows from here on. You set the bar pretty high imo

what I seemed to have found out over the last couple days is I think mushrooms have a mind of there own. I have more tubs going and it's funny my first harvest they were skinnier than some of these bad boys I see now. I also have some that are growing towards the light and some that or going opposite the light. My first tub they were all straight up and down. The light is in same position for all this. I haven't been opening the tubs up as much. Just been montoring them through the side of my tub through my suran wrap

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe light has any effect on the direction of growth; that's more of a plant thing.
TCs: Are skinny fruits/straight growth a sign of low FAE, or am I making that up?

I am pretty sure that I have my polyfill around the same amount in each monotub. The only different thing I've done this time was not open up my monotub is much. The first monotub on this post, I opened up quite a few times every day to look at it. These other ones that are growing fatter mushrooms, I have not really opened up at all. But I also don't see as many fruits as this one either.....so far

Looks great man. Good job 5 shroomies.
If your other tubs aren't doing so great, it's probably just because of MS. You get what you get with MS. For a bit of consistency, try doing clones on agar. Might take a bit to find that killer clone that colonized -and- fruits well, but when you do, you can slant it and use it over and over until senescence kicks in, which will be awhile if you take a lot of cultures near the beginning of its life.
-------------------- Don't like researching posts? Read this! . Also, if you're new and your posts contain the words: Humidifer, incubator, air-stone, or heater, then you need to read and UTFSE before asking people to review your setup. OR... You should be cultivating reptiles and fish, not mushrooms.

I'm actually reading up on all that intensely right now. I've actually got a lot more jars from grain to grain transfer that are almost ready. So hopefully between these tubs and the next set of tubs, I will find a very good one to do a clone. It's hard to find a tech that ia complete from start of agar,how to do the clone, to exactly how much to put into jars. I'm only finding one part or the other.

Genetics on these MF spores are crazy. I have two different tubs that have the same kind of pins that has been growing on the first type of this thread. I also have 2 other tubs that are growing really really fat mushrooms. It looks so awesome. I will post pics and a little while. tell me what you think
