Day 21

Definitely knotting.
I just have the lid positioned so its cracked slightly. Seems to be working out so far.
I find I have to mist once every day or two to keep the edges from drying out

Get those off the floor mannn:crankey:




This guy nailed it.  My bottom two totes in each stack were super dry, only the top two in each stack were nice and glistening.  Not sure if it's my dry ass environment or what.  I know the heat from the tubs above create a convection, but I didn't think it would wreak havoc that bad on them.

Also running a humidifier in the room to try and help.  My temp/ hygrometer in my room days max 35 and min 15 for rh in my room.

Lesson learned.

Have my first shoeboxes colonizing right now and I was curious if people fan out their shoebox upon full colonization to promote fruiting or just leave them be and let them fruit as they will?

Here we go. I had an extra quart of GT laying around and extra c/v/g/worm poo from last time I mixed it up.  Kinda excited about the unmodified tub thing.  Time will tell

id flip the lids upside down. just keep an eye on the surface conditions. bruising can happen easily.
i think the exposure to fresh air is worth it.

Cool thanks.

Can you tell me why these didn't need to be put away into the dark, sealed, like a mono does? I'm new to bulk grows so I was very curious why that step had to be skipped.

honestly if i did a mono i wouldnt do the sealed up in the dark shit.

i have been having the same results doing fruit at spawning on 12/12 light. putting in the dark
and sealing up is a step i dont see a difference in doing or not doing. so i dont. i just make the shoeboxes
and fruit them from the start. except ill pretty much leave them alone for the fist week until most of the myc
has colonized the surface.. like this one.

then ill flip the lid or toss in a mono and start the 'evaporation' of moisture off the surface. creating a happy
micro-climate and when the surface looks dry, i mist.

Ok Gotcha. so I'll just leave my shoeboxes alone till they fully colonize like that, then mist accordingly?

Hey Just a quick quesetion, I searched all 16 pages of this thread, but didn't see the answer I was looking for..

Once I spawn into these shoeboxes, with the PCVG, I just leave the lids upside down until full colonization? Do you think misting is required yet? or only once there is quite a bit of colonization. I'm sure the substrate still has alot of moisture to it, but since I'm leaving the lids upside down, there is alot of FAE, so I'm scared it's already dried out.. the walls of the shoeboxes seem dry too, in most people's pic's there is quite a bit of condensation..

oh boy.

1.make a shoebox


2.put the lid on like normal.

let it sit for 5-7days..

3.until they look like these..


4.THEN pop the lid off and toss inside a mono..

OR
flip the lid upside down and it sits like this.

OR!!
just pop one end of the lid open like this..

OR!!!! just rotate it 45degrees


either way..

once you expose the surface to air, it will dry out. keep it from drying out by misting.
i only expose the surface to fresh air at step 4. not before hand. otherwise too much substrate
can dry out and blah blah.

Yes, thank you so much. I know it seems like rudimentary information, but it helps me alot, and I won't need any further guidance with these shoeboxes. So I appreciate your patience mush, I'll post pics of my progress :smile:
