New grow... Been awhile.

Sup dudes been awhile since I have been able to grow (last Christmas). I just got into a new space and have a whole room to dedicate to mushies. Decided I would share where I am up to at this point.
These six half pint jars were inoculated with Golden Teacher and were place inside an incubator for the past 6 days.

These are three quarter pint jars that were inoc'd with Costa Ricans 10 days ago. They were just put up on shelf in the closet. I have two more jars of these left with no contam. Just waiting on visual not sure why they are laggin behind but, meh.

Here is my incubator: bottom is my glove box, top is my SGFC lid.


Hope to make it through to fruiting this Christmas and keep everyone updated on the progress. If everything goes well I plan on some monotubs in the near future. Thanks!

As long as the brf is really clean you will be fine heating it up like that, I used to have to use a tub in tub incubator to keep my stuff warm in the winter. Any more I am fine with the 72ish degrees it sits at. All in all you look good man keep up the good work.

What is the average temp in the room you are using?
Derp. I'm a tard.
You shouldn't need an incubator for 72 degree closet.

I wouldn't say that you NEED it, but the GT's sure seem to be liking it. The main reason I have it is... while I say the average is 72...
I do turn my temp down when I leave for work and it will drop to 60 in the closet so...

Because, especially being inside that tub, over time water will collect under the foil and seep down into the dry verm layer. Up to you I guess but the agreed upon method is to colonize without the foil. It's only there to keep water out of the jar when sterilizing.

You are assuming that I only have the single layer of foil.. but it is just placed on loosely. Underneath I have a tight fitting piece of foil with the cap tightened over and a single hole in the middle with cellulose filters underneath.
Everyone has their methods and will stick to them... same for cannabis cultivation.
I have always been able to colonize successfully with foil on top. But thanks for trying to be helpful, nevertheless.

So your lids are the 2nd piece of foil?
nice wallpaper btw 
And you don't gotta sound all condescending. The info I am giving you is widely accepted as the best way of doing things. I'm not saying your way won't work, but especially with cellulose filters, you don't need foil on top.

Don't try to put it on me, you came into my thread remember! You are giving me information that is redundant to the fact of success in my pictures.
But I do agree that is the way most people go, but I like do things differently. Different from the pack. Without deviation from the norm progress is not possible. 
Yet again I will commend you on giving me something to type out exercise is always good.
Yes bro, the wallpaper is perfect for tripping.

I agree. Foil should come off. But that's only because I'm assuming the situation going on under the piece of foil in the pic (dry verm layer, lid with hole and filter for GE, and then the top foil). It might be doing okay right now, but that's because the Myc. hasn't developed to the point where it is pushing out CO2. Eventually it will, and the foil isn't going to allow gas exchange, and the jars will stall out. I have seen it on here so many times.
"what did I do wrong, stalled growth"
The first answer that comes (due to the pics provided) is:
"Take off the foil. Your jars need GE"
Just my 2 cents. I am not a TC, but have grown a decent amount and feel that I have contributed some what to other people's grows. I felt the same way when I first came here. "This guy isn't even a TC, I'm not gonna listen" but I got out of that mindset real quick. Eventually, a TC WILL hop on here, and tell you to take the foil off. The only time I REALLY depend on a TRUSTED tag, is when it comes to identification. There are some people on here with an insane amount of knowledge that just haven't gotten TC tags yet.
Good luck my friend.

Cool tin foil hats for aesthetics and it amuses the mycelium and increases FAE... is this a good balance?

No, that would be the worst balance ever. You don't need FAE, you need GE. If your hats are bring FAE, you mind end up worse off then if you left your GE restricting foil on. lol

that "incubator" is gonna cause more problems than it will solve. you got 5" of standing water in there dude. try following a tek! its almost harder to fuck up a cube grow than it is to succeed in one. getting great results consistently is where the hard part's at. dont get complacent just because you get some shrooms. always strive for better. and remove that foil

Knew you guys would be fun. Thanks for playing along and I will indeed continue this incredible tin foil mushroom journey providing pictures and essential comedy.

Love it when cron comes in here and reverberates everything being said then this guy gets his head of out of his ass and realizes he doesn't really know shit. You've never even done a monotub, I doubt you can tell us what is right/wrong what will work the best and what won't with your cakes.
Do it with foil if you want man, no one is making you NOT do it. Knock yourself out. 
And I'm not usually a dick here...I would rather get along with people, including you mycwizard, but if you post here you shouldn't criticize everyone's advice. That's one of my pet peeves here.

Not criticizing bro, just trying to have some fun and lighten the mood from the thick muck of super serious mycology. I'm not trying to pump out lbs like a farm.. just having a moment in time where light hearted commentary go along side an interesting and versatile hobby.
I'll update you guys in a few days on what benefits the magic hats are causing...

Yeah one of my jars of Costa Ricans got con-tamed with green mold.. but the MYC was already beast mode and HAS FEASTED UPON IT's MOLDY POROUSNESS. MAGIC HATS turning the TIDE. =]
Alright so... The CR are about 75% and the GT's are 100% colo two days ago, and I'll letting consolidate for another week or so till I get everything ready to roll...
