But that also might fuck with colonization
You squeezed your sub and checked for field capacity ?
I did squeeze it. It was too wet so I squeezed every handful I added to the shoebox.
Like I said also my first time making any sub so it could have been too wet.
Thanks for the input. 🙏

First attempt at mycology! Puerto Rican MS to grains (I know its a big nono) Lost one of my bags but one 3lb bag prevailed and I made a couple shoeboxes out of them.
I forgot to add a layer of substrate ontop of the exposed grains, but I let the grain bag sit for 1 week after 100% colonization. Smelt good at spawn
I flipped the lid on one of my shoeboxes, as a little experiment ill flip the other ones later. How does it look?
My other shoeboxes are more even and leveled, I also just purchased everything I need for agar work so this will be the only MS spawnin' that I do.
Spawned on 11/8/18

I gave it a tiny mist and a huge waft of fresh mushroom smell came up, I misted because this was the leftover tub essentially, and I could have added more spawn. The mycelium was a tad fuzzier than the other shoeboxes.
Smelled wounderful. Should I keep the lid off and eye the moisture? Or snap it back on.

Careful not to overmist, allow evaporation to occur between mistings to stimulate pinning... only add a superficial glisten after evaporation has occurred... remember you're only replacing the surface moisture for the purpose of evaporation, not watering the substrate: which can be done with a short dunk or heavy misting between flushes... i typically get away with not misting until after first flush harvest, or only misting once... looking decent from what I can see in the photo (a little blurry)

I would keep it off, looks like it needs air to me.

Do not mist that. Flip the lid and be patient.

Damn, I've been focusing on pans and not sure what happened, but I've lost 4 shoeboxes to trich. AA+, RustyWhyte and an unknown cube. I have 3 left, but I am not hopeful.

I feel it, I threw away as much as was good for a few months. Right now I have some clones colonizing oats and I'm about to G2G pints to 19 qt jars. Fingers crossed, but as long as there's nothing blatant in the quart jars I have high hopes.

Winter grows always go so weird for me. I think I need to just scale it down. Gonna do pans and GT and that's it.

Dude, I want a TYC print when you're ready. I have a million things to trade for it when the time comes.

1qt spawn,Top layer coir at spawn. I haven't tested this clone personally.(brother had 2.5g and said it was more like a 5) I tested some of the MS that these came from,but just 1g or so. I plan to do a proper test this weekend.(3.5g)

I was thinking about you the other day. I've never done APE before, but I grew some and gave it out to some friends last week. We all tripped last Thursday. Me on the pan cyans and everyone else on the APE (they did 6g). Well needless to say we all met god and the one, universal consciousness..lol. And they individually called me and said "You need to save that APE..it was very special". So I am. Remembered that you have been growing this for awhile, and it made me laugh.

Why? Cubes are great. PE is neat, too. You want WEIRD? Grow pan cyans. It's fucking weird. Like weird times 1000000000000000000.

 I may have went a little Ape with the APE. These APE were my gateway into grain/agar after MANY brf bulk grows. I'm winding down the run,and gonna put this APE culture away for awhile.(It's my first,and a keeper) I have a few others in the works,KS,Rustywhyte,AA+. I NEED to get my hands on some KSSS UFO muties. I'm real interested in pans,and over the winter I'll be playing with a pan.cyan print I have.(Thanks fishermansjc! ) Also just got germ on some Ps.cyan,gonna try my luck outdoors with that (and other woodlovers)next year. Sometimes I get so busy I forget make time to enjoy the fruits of my labor. 6g to meet god you say.... May have to up my dose.
