APE clone, 1 quart of spawn to CVG, fruited in larger tote with 3 other 6-quart shoebox totes. Tote was spawned, cased and fruited on the same day and harvested on day 18 of fruiting conditions. 206.65g wet, which according to my best estimates will dry out to roughly 15.3g or so.

I just made 5 shoeboxes with 2:2 ratios WBS spawn to CVG that is proper field capacity. I put the lids on the shoeboxes and they are sitting on shelf. Do I just let them sit for a week or so without touching them or should I start misting them? This is my first grow and the only part I'm unsure of is the misting. Thanks

i let them sit for a week until i really do anything. sometimes less. 3-5days? you just dont want to mist uncolonized coir. its kinda pointless unless you are actively fruiting.
i would define 'actively fruiting' as, starting the evaporation process by exposing the surface to air. thus making misting necessary

just mist so the surface is glistening. fanning is one thousand percent pointless imo. kids stuff.. crazy stuff!
i like flipped lids because i never have any spare shoeboxes to dubtub with. but dubtubbing kicks ass

about a week.
mist to maintain those glistening conditions. the more air you expose the surface too the better but it dries out quicker=more misting i end up misting about 2 or 4times a day. if im doing open air, i mist about 6-8 times a day but with less squirts.
yes. always 12/12 light cycle. everything is always on 12/12.

Search glistening on pornhub that may give you a good visual reference
jk

My first tub of the PE-like Redboy that I cloned is starting to pin, like mad too. Really hoping that helmet head look shows up in these guys. Still not sure as to what the deal was originally as I could never believe fruiting a cube next to APE could result in a “hybrid” but it was a whole tub of lil dicks. Here’s a pic of the tub I cloned

Do you guys submerge these shoeboxes in water after a flush or just bottom water?

I did that this time with my shoebox and now i'm like... am I on a second flush? Or 3rd flush? I'll just toss it when it start putting nothing out I guess.

Thanks man, really hoping for something stable so I could spread these spores. I took a dozen swabs of the first but am holding on to see what this one plays out like. Still got some MS Redboy cultures going in hopes of getting an actual red print
