So how are we doing FAE with shoeboxes? I'm gonna try these with 1 myco quart to 1.5 substrate. Just crack the lid and put it back on at night?

get 6!
always get in groups of 2 so you can dubtub. they also make great printing boxes.
you can wipe out a shoebox with iso, put in sab, do sab countdown. wipe out again, put in foil/caps. cover with lid and take out.
i hate having my sab occupied with prints.

I have some nice, rather old but nice, flat Rubbermaid food tubs about cake pan size. Work great for prints. I to hate having my SAB tied up by prints.

As far as FAE, I just fruited 5 shoeboxes. I just popped the lid loose, and left it sit that way. Gave me about 1/8th inch gap all the way around and they stayed on nicely. I kept knocking them off upside down.

I've started using them for everything, dry mushroom storage, print making, and keeping all my little myco tools in one little box.

I really love that they are only $1 at Dollar General. I need more than my 5, lol. Great for sketchy spawn.

Closest target is 30 miles away, Dollar General is like 1/2 mile. BUT I will keep that in mind next time I am close by.

My first shoebox first flush was about 1.5 dry oz didn't expect much more so I gave it to my only friend that knows about growing like two weeks ago and went to his place last night, he had over a pound of fresh mushrooms ended up being 30 something grams dry, and those fuckers were big. he kept referring to the flush as a wave. Made me lol thinking of playing a zombie shooting game or some shit
