Burma clone. 1:1
Got one stubby meaty fruit from a BRF cake back in june and cloned it.
Not great flush, don't visibly see any contaminates in the bare spot. Guessing possibly because I had 3 shoeboxes on all sides except the front were the bald spot is. Got some pretty meaty fat boys in there none the less and some more spores.

Nah more love you show them the better
I mean they're fine without it
But sending positive loving vibrations to your mushrooms definitely can't hurt
I literally bless and say a prayer over my mushrooms before giving them to people
Hippie jargon like that is scientifically proven in studying the effects of thoughts and vibrations on physical reality
For instance, our thoughts and vibrarions change and have an impact on the physical shape of water
Mushrooms are 90% water give or take.
Look into the experiments they've done on thoughts ans vibrations ans the effect they have ok water crystalization

Some pictures of my current projects. Several of my jars had a good bit of overgrow on them, but no contams. I did a little side experiment to salvage a stalled jar, and ended up with this Tupperware inside a milk jug colonizing really well in only 6 days. Also have about 5 different shoeboxes going at the moment with BRF cakes, coco sub, and a coco/verm casing. All of them seem to be doing really well thus far. That Tupperware looks like it should be spitting some pins out any time now. I can't stop peeking lol. Also the one in the milk jug is Puerto Rican and looks much more cottony than the mazatapecs in the shoeboxes. They've looked different like that ever since they started colonizing in their jars. Very interesting how differently their mycelium looks. The maz is much more rhizomorphic.

Overgrowth? Fluffy mycelium can indicate the presence of bacteria : be sure to provide sufficient FAE

When you start running 30 shoeboxes youll learn to appreciate not having to pamper them

 I love that feeling!
Just whipped up a set of shoeboxes. 1qt APE clone each,2qts coir(including light top layer)
 Shoeboxes are just so easy to use all around.

What are your yields like with that ratio?
Only ever done 2:2 and consistently pulled slightly over 2 ounces dry from each tub with ms genetics

I have been using 1/2 pint brf cakes as spawn,and I averaged 70g wet per 1/2 pint cake spawned on the first flush,half that on 2nd and so on(I usually dumped after 2nd) These are some of my first grain and my first wave of grain is just now starting to pin,so.

U should get around an ounce with a quart. Maybe less with the ape but probly still close.
I use 3qts in my small mono and get about 3oz dry.

1 quart sketchy PE spawn 2 quarts CGV that had been sitting in a trash bag for 2-3 months 1 quart jiffy mix casing
spawned, top layered, cased & put into fruiting all at the same time
