if it needs it?

but when i do i bottom water like when the substrate has pulled away from the tote.

roughly at this stage. it depends on how thirsty the substrate is.

Haiii guys!

So this is my first time messing around with shoeboxes, and I haven't quite got the hang of it yet.  The fresh air exchange is the hardest to get right because every lid seems to be giving me different results.  Also, I learned the hard way that you can't stack these suckers because they get way too much air that way...  that's my experience anyways!

Here are a bunch of pictures I took over the course of 1-2 weeks. :smile:  These are all texas variety cubensis.

They started out stacked like this.  I have 6 total, so 2 stacks like this.


The top shoeboxes looked good, the bottom ones looked drier then a camels dick.



Harvested 2 of the shoeboxes 4 days later and put another shoebox on top to allow enough room for the mushies to grow. :smile:


Got about 1 ounce dry each shoebox.  Each shoebox had one jar of spawn each!

Here is the state of the other shoeboxes spawned at the same time, but got raped by the dryness.  They seem to be recovering... but still they need a good mist once or twice a day.


Anyways, it's fun to have small individual grows, I didn't get any contamination, but it's nice to have the ability to throw out small cakes instead of a large monotubs... :smile: 

Thanks everyone for the help, if you guys have any tips for the dryness, I would appreciate. :smile:

nice shoeboxes dood thanks for posting!
:thaaannks:

when ive left the shoeboxes completely alone they do get dry. but i use the weaknessas a strength.
i LIKE the lids never really fit the same. i LIKE they can dry out. thats my challenge as a cultivator(at least how i look at it)
it just means i give them more attention. i dont mind. its why i like to grow. if everything was set/forget ...like, wheres the fun?

and the monotub grow you posted is killer.:rocket:

Thanks buddy!

I will say that I did go to a music festival last weekend, so they were left alone for a good 3 days.  Had I been there, the yucky/dry looking shoeboxes would have gotten some love and attention.

Only the top 2 shoeboxes in the stack seemed to be doing well, whereas all the bottom ones were getting too much air.  Like you say though, half the fun is taking care of them, so i'm hoping my next run of shoeboxes will show better yields. :smile:

Now I'm just scattering them on the ground without stacking them.  Is that what you do?  Or do you stack them and just mist them to hell 2 or 3 times a day?

i have them on a tier wire shelf. lik a greenhouse minus the tent
and i leave lids flipped and misted when needed. load up that big ass mono you did with shoeboxes. thats fun too.

but i rarely stack. i have enough space for 24 to fruit so its not really an issue for me cause im not do BULK bulk.

Got 2 of those GT shoeboxes going too. Mine are actually not really shoeboxes, since they're about 11,5 qt, but they're only filled about 2 inches. 2:1 pasteurized Hpoo : rye spawn. But the culture was slow as fuck on the grains, and it's doing the same on the manure :facepalm:
Been spawned 6/26, new fuzzing up of grains visible after 20h, and the mycelium is only jumping to the manure as of today. Luckily, I rubbed the grains in really well, so I'm hoping to see all the tiny bits of mycelium on the manure spread itself as well in the next few days. Should be colonized by the 5th or 6th I think, that'd be 10-11 days after spawning...

This thread is tits Mushboy.:mushroom2::crazy2:

Loved it so much I went to Target to find 6q sterlites for $0.84/ea and bought 8, had to talk myself out of buying 16. :grin:




I had a couple of jars left over from my bulk tub I just made so I needed something to use them for. I mixed in ~2q spawn/2q CVG and in less than 48hours I'm at this:



Depth came out a little thick so I'll wind up dubtubbing it.

I also have a couple dozen half pint jars from when I first started I'm gonna noc up with a few extra syringes I have and do some cake bulk. So simple and so many possibilities.
