yo, shoebox fam! I recently joined the shoebox fam and first-time "bulk" on 4/16. I gotta say I am very excited to see where this goes! I plan on only using shoe boxes for now and love that this thread exists. Anywho, is this box ready to fruit? Today is day 7 but not sure exactly how fully colonized coir looks. I have searched around.

These are all the same box. I spawned 1 QT of popcorn to not exactly sure how much coir but I layered it pretty nice. I will measure it out in the future for sure!
Thank you in advance! mushlove

You could flip the lid on that if you wanted. How colonized does it appear on the bottom/side? Hope you get some good fruits dude..!

The sub/spawn looks pretty thin in that shoebox. I know that people have mixed feelings about sub depth but I have found that more sub = more water for my mush. Have you had luck with 1:2 boxes? Those always pump out at least 20g first flush MS for me and I attribute that to the water held in the sub. Those are really nice looking shrooms by the way!

Never been an issue for me. These are all 1 quart spawn 1 quart sub, and all put out a dry ounce or more. They only came up about halfway to the line in the shoebox. If the surface conditions were maintained properly, its probably just shit genetics. Those happen. To anyone that has experienced shit MS, get you some AA+ or Stropharia. Best MS grows I've come across.

Guess it's just shit genetics then :/ same thing with my ms golden teacher I just did!! No matter what container was used to grow them, different surface conditions and even different field capacity of sub at spawn these gt genes all produce smurf shrooms 1st flush!! I'm talking every mushroom is short and fat not even 2 inches tall....
2nd flush produces normal sized gt's but few and far in between!! I took 5 AA+ clones from my last ms shoebox that put out 26 grams first flush and I think I'll just stick to AA+ from now on since my luck is so shit lately.

This is 9 days after spawn. My first clone. 1 to 1. 1.5 qts of grain. Does this look ok? I'm nervous.

I recently dunked all my shoeboxes for 2 hours to prepare for a second flush.
There are a ton of pins but, similar to my first flush, I think it looks like only some of them are maturing while the majority are not. However, they look healthy and don't look aborted at all to me.
I'm wondering, should I bottom water to help the whole pinset mature? Or is bottom watering not needed after a dunk?
Any advice would be appreciated. I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of potential mushrooms

I don't think you should be nervous, but that seems kind of slow. Is it cased?
