horse shit dosen't need any straw and will colonize real fast on its own(I've never timed but it seemed to colonize much faster than straw)

Well, I read all 12 pages a couple of days ago and remember that this is one of the best and most inspiring grow log I've read in my lurkings...
I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but wasn't there some talk about potentially trying to dunk those enormous casings and attempting a second flush...
Sorry, if this has already happened. I can't really remember and am not in a reading mood, but then again, I guess this will post can also serve as a bump to an excellent grow log that if anyone was mad enough to have missed in the past, maybe they will see it this time around.

yes you can dunk them and he did. Yea this was one of the better logs and shows how much potential straw has and how easy it is.

I pasturized my straw for my second grow. I'll take some pics when something exciting starts to happen. I used 4 bales from michael's (6"x6"x12") over two tubs the same size as last time, depth should be about 6", spawning tomorrow.

I dont think price is to much of a factor here if you know what i mean.
How much spawn will you be using and what strain? How about a new thread since this one's way long.

Yeah, I will start a new thread when I get some pictures, after the straw is colonized. I have 12 fully colonized quarts of WBS, 6 for each tub. And yes, price is not really a concern since you get so much out of it. Additionally the bales are so damn clean and are 100% straw only I don't really have a problem paying $20 for the straw I needed for the grow.

I'm no grower, but I've got a suggestion that might help with higher yeilds in the future.
When you dunk, you might want to put a few strategicly places holes all the way through the middle of the casing(with something sterile, of course).
My reasoning behind this is that you got all the huge fruits from the sides of the casing. My guess is that only the outer edges were able to be saturated with water. Poking holes in the middle would allow the straw in the middle to become moist.
Makes sense, eh?

I'm guessing it's dessicant. Absorbs moisture.

Yeah, Gumby is correct. It is DampRid wrapped up in some coffee filters. Works great!

i havent posted in a while but the question here about dunking struck a cord with me. i have a way of replacing the water or providing more water to a casing without dunking the casing and it seems to work very well. i use aluminum pans for my casings but this can be done with any container. i simply put a nice layer of wet or dry perilte in the bottom of the container and then but the substrate on top. once the first flush comes off and the casing starts pulling away from the sides i pour small amounts of water into the bottom of the pan which the perilite will soak up. the mycelium grows down into the perilite and drinks the water directly from the perilite layer. i have actually had shrooms growing right off the perilite. i did some experimentation and added superthrive plant growth hormone to some exhausted cakes and i shit you not i got 2 more flushes from some cakes that were finished. hope this helps..

Just wanted to drop a line. My next grow is going slow since our summer has been a little cool and I haven't set up my incubator. Still colonizing the straw on the double tub grow. I will upate with pics when I case and see some good growth. Still looking healthy.

funkadelic fungus goodness
-------------------- In the dawn my toes are cold They spread their little trinkets on the ground In the hall By the closet door They creep into my bed without sound On a cube In a plastic egg A hundred fabric figures in a pile See them march Toward me And dance across the floor trippily Little faces keep no track of time Little faces speaking out in rhyme Little faces smiling in my mind Tiny doors For walking through sticky fingers clutch forbidden things the phone For talking through Sinking ships On a foamy sea That tumbles from the motion of filthy Little hands In the dark When eyes are wide listen to secrets that I tell In a ball On tiny beds Or beneath them where the shadow people dwell moon Beams split the night Leave bars of yellow pasted on their faces As they drift into a dream
