First Time Rye to Bulk

Hello again!
I was challenged after my first PF Tek to do a bulk grow. I used rye, and after colonization I did alternating layers of manure based substrate and the rye.
Here is the colonized jar of Ecuador cubes. I didn't take pics of the layering I did, but I will update when this thing goes into fruiting (in perhaps a week or so).

Anyhow, I hope you all have a happy holiday season, however you decide to celebrate!

Some updates. Here is a little sneak peek of the tub and the activity inside. Should be ready to start fruiting by Friday or Saturday I would guess.

Also, there is this jar of Golden Teacher which will be given a similar treatment tomorrow. I will be mixing instead of layering as advised =).

Had to share.

Put the tub in to fruiting today. Overwhelming smell of sweet fresh mushroom. Wish me luck on the fruiting. I am really excited to have started this effort! Ill keep updates coming when things start getting weird.

Next time you should use a liner under your substrate. It prevents side pins and helps to clean the tray fast and easy.
If you like to use trays you can build a monotub and put the trays inside. It works well and is better than a SGFC because the bottom of your trays reduces the positive effects of the perlite.
Your current setup will work, too. Maybe you want to lift raise the tray off the perlite with some bottle caps or so.
Good luck. I am looking forward to see your first fruits.

Thanks for the advice!
I did end up elevating the tub on some old dip cans I had in a drawer. I'll definitely look into a mono tub for the next jar(s).

Is it more beneficial to fruit that in the container or as a block? Just curious

There would be more surface area exposed, kinda like a large square cake. I wonder if that would increase the BE of a tub that size.

It's better to fruit in the container so it can retain moisture better. More surface area won't improve BE Pasty and Muda set me straight on that last week

Thanks! I really need to get on that bottom watering. I'll get a little bolder as I get rolling. Right now I just want to follow the current spec to completion, then modify next time.

I am going to leave the lid sideways for now. That is the best thing I can think of to remedy that with my current SGFC. Basically I now have an extra inch on each short end exposed as opposed to the standard position. Thanks!

That's respectable If you want to bottom water there is no risk involved and it's quite simple... Just pour some water in the tray down the side of the sub. A pinset like that will definitely benifit.
Up to you though man. Either way nice tray!

I had a double shot glass handy... for some reasons... so I gave it 2 of them almost full. Insight tells me that should still reap some benefit.
I do have a few PF cakes in the oven right now that I will be bottom watering, inspired by your post on my first thread.

I added another couple shots of water. The myc is just barely floating on the water so I believe there is enough in there.

Getting there. The pins in the middle I am hoping will stand up a bit more. Sleepy little pins.
I usually would be picking these throughout the day as the veils break but I am going to let them all mature a bit more. For science!

Thanks Haha, I appreciate your concern =P. Dipping is bad indeed. The containers have been useful for so many things though.
I'll end up trying my hand at taking prints on my next tray. I just mixed GT on rye with some manure based substrate yesterday.

Pretty much the end of the road for this first flush. Couple more hours so some of the more mature ones can catch up.
I will update with dry weights when it is time for that.

thats a packed tray dude
totally take a print. its super easy. all you need is foil. thumbtac or something, cup.
cut off cap of shroom(any shroom, doesnt matter) use thumbtac or whatever to 'pick up' cap. stabbing the top so you can easily move it without touching it. place on foil for 12-24hrs. cover with cup.
or if a cap is larger enough you can put some clean water in a small container of sorts and place a cap ontop of the container resting above the water. use clean syringe to suck up spore water.
quickly drop inside ziplock for storage. doing inside a SAB will ensure clean printing.

Awesome flush!! Can't wait to see what you do with a clone. You could fill an entire mono like that.
