Too many variables to tell. Need more info. Lots of reasons they may not be working

Very true, for whatever reason if I crumble to coir and case with verm they fruit pretty decently, nothing spectacular but better than nothing, I think my cakes just dry out to fast or i mist to heavy

Im only going to ask 2 questions. Are they in a proper sgfc? And how long do they go without fruiting

I was more just adding my confession to the list haha but they are in a proper SGFC (my trays fruit in the same chamber so id assume its working good) and usually anywhere from 1-3 weeks with no knots or pins ever forming, ive chalked it up to just either drying out to quick (small cakes in big SGFC are prone to drying out) or from not enough humidity

Put 20 or more cakes in and everything changes, when it's crowded, maybe even double stacked, SGFCs rock... unless you mist too much.

That makes sense, I've switched to crumbling all the cakes and spawning to Coco coir and casing with verm and they're doing well now, leads me to believe humidity is the issue since the cakes turn kinda blue from drying out

Fingers crossed I'll have fruit growing within the week... 19 quarts of oats (various variety) between 75-90%... just a matter of a few weeks and I'll be on my way to stock pile again

Sometimes you need a good cry to release everything.
Were you tripping or sober at the time?

I confess I don't label my dries shroomies properly. I can usually tell them apart. What I thought was from a low potency culture, turned out to be highly potent shroomies.
Sunrise was a weird experience. I couldn't figure out why the sky was getting bright.
Happy New Year everyone. Hope you have a great one.

Every now and then I'll do a 'settle plate'. Seeing what is deposited in 5 seconds, I get all

Whne my wife leaves the lid off of things (like yogurt) on the counter for an hour.

I had the wife and kids do a fingertip touch in petris in front of the hood. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th days we had growth. My wife is super clean but turns out she has the nastiest fingers of us all.
