Just let it do it's thing.I don't wipe the lids,I don't open my tubs til I know they're good and colonized,I don't mist during colonization.(get your sub prep/moisture level right)Wait it out and it will be worth it.


I think I'll spawn one of my unmodded 2.5qt with a jar of "menace" tonight.

post some pics of it and let us see! I'm just not going to worry about it and try to just focus on something else, like the cake i birthed today and then put back in the jar to fruit it there! like in one of Bods easy af tek's.

I spawned a 2.5qt of "menace" last night.

First thing is to gather and prep supplies/area.(clean area/tools,prep coir,inspect jars,etc.)


I birth the cake and rinse it off.


I like the bigger grater holes.Gives the cakes a grain like texture.
Grate the cake into the container.


Prepped coir/verm.


I don't measure exact,but I have learned that one of my handfuls is about one half pint.:thumbup:

I do a ratio of 1:2 (one half pint brf cake to 2 half pints coir/verm)


Mix it up good,(get down in the corners)and level it out.


I've been adding a top layer to most of my tubs lately.Seems to help in my case.:shrug:
Lightly sprinkle on top layer.Level it out lightly.(don't pack it down)


Put the lid on and leave it to colonize.(about 7-10 days)

:super:

Here's a 7.2qt mini "menace" variety spawned with 4 brf cakes to 2qt coir/verm.
Spawned on 5/21



I'm gonna give 'em  a few more hours before I harvest.

Shoebox spawned the same time(and same amount)as the above is starting to pin up.


..and a 2nd flush PE shoebox ready for harvest.:super:

Probably a dumb question but how do you know when its time to fruit your mono's? So 20 days for your 7.2qt from spawn to harvest which isn't bad at all time wise, when did you fruit that mono? Thanks in advance!

You don't fruit tubs.

Mushrooms WILL fruit themselves when conditions are appropriate. (100% colonization and surface evaporation ect..)

:whathesaid:

I leave the lid on/tape on til I see pins usually.My shoeboxes never get the lid flipped.I just dub them when they reach the lid.(if I remember)
My mono tubs get duck tape on the holes till they're ready,then I switch the tape out with the appropriate amount of micropore tape.

It was my first round and I was being paranoid about moisture. It's getting easier though. Maybe like a first child thing. Second tub is on it's way.

I started those 5/25. The ones that were ready for picking last Friday were started on 5/23. I think the cakes may have been consolidated a bit more.

ahhh i see i don't have that many cakes inoculated right now. i have one spawned in that 2.5qt one right now fruiting using bods tek and three more finishing up colonizing well two are like 98% done the other doesn't look like its gonna be a viable cake but we will see it had 5 inoc points and only one took and its taking forever to grow so i may just toss it just in case it is contaminated. I'll have to go look at my dollar store tomorrow and see if they have any thing i can use for another mini mono since i only have one more container unless i just fruit the other cake in the jar.

I already had a PC, 10-1/2 pint jars and a bag of brown rice (rice from dollar store also). PC would only hold 6 jars so I did 5 at a time. Gigantic bag of verm for 20 bucks and a syringe was all I needed. 1 syringe easily did all the jars and would've done a lot more if I wasn't so heavy thumbed with it. I did 4 holes each and last jar only noc'd 1 point and it was the first one to cover all the way. I had 2 left and just did the Bod's AF and let them grow.
