I just meant like in general. Like looks like she's ready for a good flush;p
You latch the lid on completely until pins or until they reach the lid?

I latch until pinset develops, then I unsnap ifthere's a good bit of moisture... if moisture is right on point, I just leave it snapped... then dub tub once they reach the lid

How are shoeboxes with second flushes? I poured water through the corners of the 4 tubs and let them soak a few hours then drained them and put them back in my grow room.
Made 18 more jars last night. And hoping to get a few more out of these boxes before tossing them.

How do you by the moisture? By the color of the coir or? Just trying to learn here lol.
I tried my best to get the coir to filed capacity. I think it looked/felt pretty good. Just used hot tap water and let it cool down.

Color of the coir, size of the water drops, whether or not there is pooling around the edges

I find them to put out about 60%-70% of the wet weight of the first flush. After that it's kinda a crap shoot.

I left the lid unsecured last night because I was told I was still over field capacity of my coir even after adding verm. Anyway just looking for opinions and suggestions.

Does anyone think this has potential to be successful at least? I've been reading about cultivating mushrooms for over a decade on this site and this is the first time I've been able to put it together, so I'm a little anxious and probably over concerned. I don't know, it's one thing to read about it and look at pictures and another thing to actually do it.

Not green yet but it will be. Unfortunately that is mold. I’ve had the same thing happen. Thought it was myc coming through my casing at first but it grew very quickly and ended up turning green.

Should I wait to harvest, harvest mushrooms with veils broken and let the others mature or harvest them all?
