I can't to put them in my monotubs I'm going to do Damon's 50/50 the only thing different I will do is I'm not going to put a top layer I'm going to mix it all together evenly any questions I'd be eager to answer is

I've seen plenty of people use only hydrated coir with great results.

I use the same brand coco coir and verm for my grows it works great :smile: I'm excited to see ur results. Great work so far! I'm sure they will be awesome!

Btw small tip I put my tubs straight into fruiting conditions the same day that I spawn it.

Really I didn't know you could that I have 3 tubs to go I'm gonna let the tub colo. For 7 to 14 days before I try something new I'm pretty much following a personal friends / Mycologist I've known for a while who got me into this and brought me to the website so I'm kind of just going step by step off what I know has worked for him for years and years

Yea, I get it. That has been the way for sometime now but it's on its way out the door if u read around here. Ppl have found its good to have light for the whole process. Putting it into fruiting conditions right away can make it colonizes faster and get pins sooner. But totally do what u are comfortable with.

P.s. I give the same tip to every new grower - don't over mist! I'd say most of us have done it, I know I have! Give the water time to evaporate. We are not "watering" are mushrooms. Which is what I once thought of it as. Read up on dialing in mono tubs. I think this thread, is a good read.

I prefer Micropore tape myself. When I use micropore I start with two overlapping pieces on each bottom hole for gas exchange (my holes are wider then the micropore tape so I end up using four pieces - 2 going up and down and 2 going side to side (I hope this doesn't confuse u)) then I do one layer for the top holes (by the handles) for air exchange. This normally works great. If u end up needing more air flow just remove one of the layers of Micropore tape from the gas exchange holes. Good luck and keep us updated I'm excited to see ur grow! U seem to be doing everything right for a first timer so far! Congrats

Yeah when I get the hang of it all I'll definitely have to give it a shot. I probably won't Mist it all the first flush probably just fan it a little bit I'll wait for the second maybe even third flush if it makes it to the Third to mist

If you mix the spawn and the sub all together you should have a top layer of just the sub 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep. You will get more fruiting area and a better pin set. Also less chance of contamination.

Hes sorta right just said it wierd. People feel a top layer covers exposed grain making contamination less of a risk. A top layer also adds moisture yo the surface for better fruit production.

If u want to do this, just leave some coir behind when u spawn. Then after its mixed well and leveled out u can add a 1/4" layer of coir on top.

Ive been adding a 1/2" casing layer at spawn. Can anyone differentiate casing at spawn vs casing at full colonization?

Well a top layer isnt a casing. Its sorta is but not really.

And people get great results casing at spawning or waiting till its colonized first. Its just personal preferance really.

My buddy said he always just mixes it all and I've seen some beast ass results that way and yes the top layer is different than a casing layer

That's fine man however u wanna do it. When u do fruit, just remember cubes like a lower fresh air exchange for pin formation and a higher amount of fae for maturing.

I see u have holes taped. Stuff ur poly or whatever u use tight at first. And after pins fill in loosen the top holes a bit.
