Back from a trip, fuck family I learned tonight it is a requirement where I live in a normal room that a shoe box deffinently needs to be cased! Well, they may not be perty but a box is a box. Atleast it's only this one . Anyways both are an AA+ box/tray. The box I dub tub'ed with a bit of moisture to help make it pin right. I figured better light off than on when I left....eh?

Second flush South American. Might have been nicer than the first flush.

A staight edge would level out that sub right quick before spawning

Sup Shoeboxes lovers 
I dont know if its cause im not using Sterilite shoeboxes like you all, but the FAE in mine are tricky to deal with. I have way more water bead in the center of the boxe than on the outter edge, its worst since i unsnapped lids, but looking at my pics, its like that since the beginning. So water evaporate faster on the edge approx like this,

What im doing when those edge getting dry, is cover the part of the shoeboxes i dont wanna mist with another lids , so i mist only the parts needing it. Do you guys have to deal with that kind of evaporation with yer Sterilite one ?
Im looking to buy some real shoeboxes, but they arent that easy to find locally.

I know they say it's unnecessary with cubes, but I've had better luck with casing than not. At the least, it doesn't hurt. At the best, you get a tub of awesome fruits. I don't mind doing the extra work.

I've been leaning toward this as well.Top layer at spawn seems to give me a better moisture "safety net".

I started late casings about 4-5 days in when knots and primordia come about (a suggestion I got from shrooms4life). The first flush is just as great as casing at spawn, but what I really notice is that my second and third flushes are so much better.

I know I have to case where I live atleast with tubs and trays, so I figure I should try caseless shoe box because it might do better, nope. For me if I'm doing any mush growing where I live it has to be cased. I've came to that conclusion today. I'm excited to see how it fuits.

Ras, what are you casing with? I like a top layer at spawn, but at fruiting I will use Jiffy or straight verm.

Okay guys so I have a question. I have a shoebox colonizing. I added a peat/verm casing layer. It is colonizing nicely, and has colonized through the casing layer. But looking at it today there are very small white dots if I look closely enough. I am growing albino a+, are these pins? I could take a picture but really do not want to open the lid as I have not done so since colonization.

If you cracked the lid and took a picture it wouldn't really affect the CO2. Now if you took the lid off and then took the picture you might have a little bit of free air exchange but just cracking the lid and snapping a photo won't hurt you. Also from what it sounds like all these little white dots you have or called knots, the pre pin that a pin comes out of. Though if you could take a picture that would really help there's nothing that any of us can really do without photos.

My camera sucks this is the best I can do. this is through the 1/2 inch casing layer of peat/verm.
EDIT: flash may make it look a little green/grey but I assure you it is all white and smells like fresh boomers

Pretty sure your white dots are primordial knots.
Harvested this 15qt PE bootbox.2nd flush.(the first flush was all blobs) 6 brf cakes spawned to half a brick(about 5qts)coir/verm.Cased with coir/verm after full colonization.


The biggest of the bunch.
 
Not a bad haul for just 6 cakes.This 2nd flush really saved this box.

Thanks.That box is actually part of my first PE grow.I'd always heard they were difficult,and some even told me they wouldn't grow on BRF,so I never tried till recently.After a little research(and maybe some MS luck)I feel for the most part my PE run did well.I didn't do anything really different than my other cubes. I did notice the boxes/tubs with casing layers have done better for me,but that's across all varieties.
