~Shrooms4life's Grow log/ grow along/ Kick back thread~ 2

So here's the back story, I had been working with ms noob grows for the longest and I finally got my head right and ditched the grow kits and ms nonsense and started using agar and making my own grains and subs.
Now I finally have lots of grains from cleaned up agar going on, multiple tubs all spawned last week and I'm sure I now have clean spawn and substrate and a few awesome clones to test out!
So I spawned 3 quarts of oats to 3 quarts cvg on the 15th of this month and since the 1:1 spawn ratio it colonized fast as hell! Today is day 6 and imo it looks ready for fruiting conditions!
On the day I spawned the tub I put a tiny pseudo casing of cvg just to cover the grains up and keep things moist, would you guys with tub exp case this thing now? Let consolidate till like day 10, or go ahead and increase the fae now and just mist when needed and let it pin when nature deems it time.
My temps have been 73-76°, the tubs been in direct 12/12 lighting in my greenhouse since spawn along with 27qt mini mono with 4q/4q cvg and a 2q/2q cvg shoebox that were done 1 and 2 days after this tub and all looking great.
Anyways here are some pics of the tub and general setup! (That uncolonized pic was the same tub just 36 hours earlier)
 P.s. I've been leaving on a cheap blue light bulb at night and maybe it's nothing but my last pinset from my old shoeboxes took off after adding that to my grow room.

I don't case cube subs unless I'm concerned about dry conditions. Increasing FAE won't hurt anything...really up to you. Full colonization has to come regardless before pin set. If anything increasing the FAE might help that along.

Ok cool I'll just continue to let it do it's thing and keep 2 layers of mp tape on the bottom holes and keep the top vents fully open everything else looking good? Also doesn't a casing layer kinda create a micro climate at the surface creating a better and more full pinset in the long run?

Everything else looks great! And a casing layer does exactly that, but cubes really aren't that particular.

Hmm choices choices, I just want the best pinset possible off these clones. I'm tired of weird ms genetics and shit pinsets.

If I'm busy with work and can't monitor surface conditions at least once a day I'll case it, otherwise I like to leave uncased and spend more time getting it just how I want it.

Hmm well I could be there to monitor it everyday and when I'm at work i could stash it in my gh so it evaps even slower.. Maybe I'll case one tub and leave the other non cased and check out the results.

Here is a little update 24 hours later!
 I'm thinking I already see some consolidation going on, or possibly even some slight knots forming! (I'm pretty stoked about this run fellas) My other tubs and totes and all looking really good also! I'll take pics of those for you guys after work as well as the shoebox I've got going on.

Looking good! Just keep giving it air and moisture!

It might be just the picture, they all look way better In person and I added a bigger casing layer at spawn on this mini mono so that may be it also but I'll keep an eye on it.

So I woke up a little too late to take pics this morning after work but the tub spawned on the 15th is starting to become knot city as well as the smaller blue tupperware done on the 14th with a different variety clone.
The shoebox is looking dope as hell, probably my best looking one yet and I'm going to just keep those moisture beads on the top surface and keep the lid on till I get a full pinset! Also Tormato those spots in the 29qt mini mono you were concerned about were more colonized this morning so I'm sure it was just slow patches. That mini mono was spawned on the 18th so it's a solid 3-5 days behind it's friends lol.
Will update with pics after work!
I also did more agar work and grain prep last night so I'll be putting more agar wedges of APE and a beautifully rhizo golden teacher clone!
Up next will be Malabar, AA+, and Orissa India.

So what are you guys opinions on the whole AR-15 crisis in America? Do you guys think more gun regulations should be put in place or some are calling for a ban on the weapon, thoughts, feelings, comments?
No one cared much about the mush cult so I'll switch it up for a bit.

How old are which cultures? The agar or grains I used to spawn these tubs?
And no one but tormato seemed to give a shit about the shrooms lol. But I'm an Army veteran so don't even get me started on the AR nonsense lol.
