When you mist put the sprayer on real fine and hold the bottle kinda high so the mist just falls down on the sub. If you spray until it pools you're doing it wrong. You want a bunch of tiny droplets all over the sub instead

Yup. I hate spending money that I don't have to spend. Plus tiger drop is a nice bonus 
About to update my journal. Finally got my PE6 into fruiting today.
Should be interesting. I tried prepping 2 bricks in 1 bucket... they didn't expand fully and when I went to spawn there were dry chunks of coir left in the bucket and the rest was rediculously wet. End result was chunky sub and uneven moisture distribution. Not expecting great things from these but I did learn a valuable lesson... Always break your coir into small chunks before doing bucket tek.

In an attempt for a better first flush I also started colonizing in shoeboxes and moving to standard monos to fruit. I didn't cut the liner untill I moved it from the shoebox to the fruiting chamber. That way I had something to cradle the sub while I transfered it to its new home.

Thought this was cool. Dehydrated mushroom wreath

Breaking up the coir prior to dumping the water seemed to help with clumpy-ness. Also mixing it after about an hour after dumping the water in helps a fuck load with the distribution of water.

I considered throwing it on the stove for a bit after mixing it up but I was hungover af when I prepaired these 
Yeah in my dehydrator haha. Usually they break up into semi circles but this was the first time they all stuck together

I did break them up when mixing but it didn't fix the water content for some reason. It was way over field capacity by almost a litre. After breaking everything up I had to squeeze test everything into a separate bucket before mixing with spawn. Results were sub surface being lumpy as fuck.
I use eco earth too and I hear their quality control is shit anyway... Don't you use some fancy stuff where every brick is exactly the same weight?
Today I spawned a mini where I took the time to break up the coir beforehand. No breading chunks required. Just mixed the verm and coir evenly and after mixing spawn the top layer smoothed out like butter.

speaking of gnarly mess of blob shit
 same ESS i have been using but used a high spawn ratio and top layer of coir at spawning tons of blob shit. it either hates the spawn ratio of 7q to one brick of coir or it hates the top layer pseudo coir casing. or both.

I'm definitely trying to figure it out. All of my tubs are doing this.
That sucks bodhisatta, at least with pe I sort of expected it lol

a lot of times I use a top layer of coir at spawning I get ugly fruits first flush usually rosecomb not blobs. but I did the top layer and I did a high spawn ratio so I personally think a bit of both is the cause. It will be interesting to find out if these ESS blobs are stronger than regular fruits. I doubt it but maybe if they're more dense

I'm gonna clone one for the hell of it. I've heard of people cloning blobs and getting normal fruits. It's already a clone but I don't have to worry about senescence for a while anyway so I'm gonna go with it. I'm consolidating my pe spawn now too in order to find out if that makes a difference. Just out of curiosity do you have any theories as to why a pseudo casing or too much spawn would cause blobs? Or anyone for that matter

I think senescence is a pretty low concern for most of us cube cultivators
