This is only my 4th grow.  Don't be scared to trying something new.  I never even fruited cakes, I went right into casing PF cakes and have not been disappointed.

The myc seem to not be worried about the discolored straw spot and are taking over it nicely.  I would say the straw is 30-40% colonized and I assembled it all only 5 1/2 days ago.  These Eqs seem to be very very vigorous, even in the 16oz cups that I made, very very nice string-like growth.  I'll update with new pics in a day or two.  :mushroom2:

Update: 4/5

The spot on the straw turned out to be a small piece of wire that started to rust from the water (from holding the straw together).  So I don't think it is a big deal, rust and myc should be fine.  Here are some new pics!  This is 6 days after I made the straw up on 3/30 (tuesday).

Looking good!!!!

I am growing EQ's too and they are VERY fast. Long stringy mycelium just runs thru the substrate.

very nice, i must say you have inspired me to try straw. Can't wait to see what kind of results you get.I know this is a little bit of a strange question but is their anything(at this point) that you would have done different or anything that you want to try next time?

The only thing that I think I would have done differently would be to get to straw a little less wet since a lot of people are saying it looks wet.  I don't really see signs of the moisture harming the myc or causing any kind of contams.  So really I think everything is going quite well.  I should have made sure the straw was more against the sides on the top, you can see in the pic that it leans in towards the middle from where I suffered the plastic in along side the straw. 

Go for it, you never know if you can do it unless you just try.  That is how I have been doing everything since I started doing this stuff a few months ago.  Good luck to you.  :mushroom2:

Well the straw is about 90% colonized. Now the question... I'll be out of town friday-monday, do I case before I leave? Or do I case when I get back and let the myc get heavily colonized? I am out to the bars for my 21st b-day so I'll check back tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

If it's 90% colonized, you should case it now rather than wait for a couple days. I usually case around 80% colonization just because it's faster and once they get some moisture, they finish up the remaining substrate quickly.

April 8 Update:

The straw is almost 100% colonized so I am going to case tonight.  My coir/verm/osyter mix is cooling in the freezer right now.  I thought you guys would like to see some pics.  In total it took 9 days from when I made the straw up to fully colonize.  If you are in a hurry use a lot of WBS in many layers :smile:.  Yeah, it is a little wet looking, but the casing layer will soak that up and I'll be good to go.

that's pretty cool man. Best of luck to ya!

I have never used just straight straw before. I heard it contams really easily if not colonized right away...but it looks like it went good for you :thumbup:

how big is that block of straw?

It is about 4.5" inches deep and I calculated the surface area to be about 1.4 feet.  So I should be looking at a good yield (I hope).  I was surprised at how fast this stuff colonized.  I think I am through the (worst) contam stage also. :smile:  I hope I can get this grow to come out like your Burma grows Jimmy, droooool.

That looks very nice Crazy...I did a full straw grow with EQ`s {print From Jimmy :wink:} and it did ok w/big fruits...Im shure your yield will probably be a lot better, Its nice to see someone do as well as you have right off the bat.. :smirk:

Last pic till I get back on Monday.  I cased it with coir/verm/oyster.  As you can see it is heavily coir becuase I used all the verm I had left (not much).  Pics to come upon my return to school.  :smile:  Have a great weekend everyone!

Alounacara, I hope you are right!  Thanks for the props.

Can't wait to see what that turns into.
