Have you picked out a prep method? Wanna share your game plan so we can crucify you for making rookie assumptions? 
Make sure you get clear tubs
No.. i made bfr cakes which i am going to SGFC.. following the tek to a T... cause i will get yelled at if i don't, and it works:) in the mean time i made AGAR and innoc'd it and the stuff is growing quickly.. haven't tried transferring or anything yet. So no real plan.. just trying to buy items i will need..

Finally, I have a pinset thats worth posting!
B+, grown on millet or milo, sub is CVG.


Artsy shot through the window:

The B+ seems to prefer more plentiful, but much smaller thinner straight fruits. Although one of my shoeboxes that got a late casing is now pushing up big cigar shaped fruits

My first ever shoebox and bulk attempt started to pin the other day

Still small but stoked to see what they end up producing

Spawned on 9/29, MS -> agar -> WBS -> CVG. 7 qt spawned to a brick of Coir.

Have 12 shoebox's that are colonizing coming in behind these guys. 35 jars of wbs that all look clean so far, 7 ready to spawn to 4 more shoebox's.

Looks like you guys been at it hard! Glad to see that. Lost alot of motivation for a while. But I'm back at it again! Mixed up a shoebox last night, with a pretty promising gt culture I've been working on. You guys are the shit. Shoeboxes for life Peace I'm out haha

I haven’t misted any yet, with shoeboxes I mostly don’t have to mist until after the first flush unless using a casing layer which I have only used once with cubes.

The first pin popped up today out of one of my TYC shoeboxes. Hope all the knotts indicate a decent pinset and flush.

What? Dude show me your ways. I've tried dubbing them, I've now got some in a unmodded tub, gonna see how those go. Then I'm gonna try a 4 tier indoor greenhouse and see what gets the best results.

Why not try a few grows before you switch, not getting results the first time doesn’t mean the method is bad, but leaves room for improvement the next time you do it. Switching fruiting methods every grow really won’t teach you what your doing wrong or where you can make improvements. Just my

i highly agree.
stick with one method until you got it down, then while continuing that method, you start another. always expanding. always growing. be the myc.

Yeah I can agree with that. I've done the dub method for all my shoeboxes. Just felt like trying something new.

I tried putting them in unmodded 20qt monos for fruiting, good great results, a little better for maintaining humidity for species other than cubes for sure, but for stackability/space shoeboxes and dubbing them is king, for me.
