The tub that I amputated that had spawn that I nocced up in February is pinning. I end up cutting out a quarter of the sub to get rid of the trich, but now I'm egging them on since they're the only pins I've seen in like 4 months :shake: Good thing I have lots of spawn on the way :sunny:

My shoeboxes tend to have a ton of condensation on their lids, and I just accidentaly bumped into my shelf a little bit. This caused a few droplets to fall into the surface of substrate. Do you guys think I should try to dry it up or is it probably not a big deal? I was hoping to not have to remove the lid at all for at least another few days.

It'll be fine, especially if it's not been opened... like a little drizzle... any reason you're keeping it shut?

Alright sweet I won't worry about it then. I was worried it could cause pooling on the substrate or something and mess up my pinset.

Im not sure if there's any actual validity to this, but I feel like I've noticed my tubs do better if I mess with them as least as I possibly can. I try not to even pop the lid off at all  until it's ready for fruiting conditions, and I will then remove the lid and flip it over. I usually don't even mist at all during the first flush and it turn out pretty well. I'm wondering if I should be flipping the lid a little sooner than 100% colonization though, as.i usually get at least a few side pins in my tubs.

I spawn to"fruiting conditions " (flipped lid) in tubs and shoeboxes, with faster and better results than with a colonization period... don't take my word though, check bod' s posts out, I think he updated the post, but if not, it's in the comments somewhere... now calling it "growing conditions ", as we've been increasing FAE from gate

I think the impact a fully colonized top layer or casing will have is dependent upon what it consists of.

I just do a top layer of my coir and verm and I have had best results popping and flipping the lid once I have a generous pinset

Tried one bag once, and tried flipping lids early, sometimes it doesn't really impact things much, but my best have been when a full pinset comes in on a fully colonized top layer with the lid on and never touched.

I think it really just depends on the person, how they do things, their prep, their conditions, and what they're experienced in doing. And doing what gives them best results, which Imo, aren't always replicable when others try to follow and replicate

Lots of variables

I've been using top layers of coir, added continually as needed during colonization/pinning/fruited and its working well for keeping the surface optimal. I haven't had any need for this in past grows but right now my tubs are growing better when I do this

:snoopyes:
Indeed, climate is a huge factor, also, individual practice in relation to those conditions, not to mention slight variation in preferences from some varieties to others

Totally, that's how I feel at least.

I've seen other people do certain things with amazing results and I can't replicate their process. But it clearly works for them.

Seems you just gotta try stuff out a bit and see what works best for you, and you'll develop your own way of doing it and find your groove

Yep... you just need to ultimately learn what conditions grow mushrooms the best, and then do your best to figure out how to provide those conditions in your current environment

I have my fingers crossed that these 2nd flush APE knots fill in.:shrug:
I kinda blew the sub up plucking the first flush.

Damn that is a lot of knots. They look kinda big, bigger than the knots I see with my varieties.

My PE tub is the same I tore it all up trying to get the blobs. It seems to be pinning now for the second flush but some look like they will abort. I think they need a lot more moisture.

Nice! Hope it comes in strong. For some reason APE always gave me great second flushes.

Nice little harvest for GT shoebox I thought was toast... I'm thinking it was too wet, bc when I switched them over,I saw pins in 12 hours  (After 5 days of nothing) I'm thinking this is technically 3rd flush, as there were several aborts harvested last night...
