Long time lurker, first time poster.
Ive been doing a trial and error process and ive learned a lot through my hardheaded efforts.
Been working on getting my agar technique/sterility on point.
Built a SAB and things have gotten way easier.

Currently have 2 mini unmodded one with a top layer of coir the other with exposed grains to see what works best for me. These 2 monos are from t3 plates just your standard GT.

These are the minis spawned approximately 40 hours ago.








I still seem to be having trouble with maintaining surface conditions. And to be honest leaving the stuff alone so it can do what its supposed to instead of messing with things everyday.

I hope to learn much much more, as what at first was just an interest, as im going to school for botany and picked up a mycology textbook just out of curiosity has turned into somewhat of an obsession lol

Heres a pic of the bottom of the mono with no top layer of coir.

Growth is looking good to me.

The mini with the top layer while taking a little longer initially is now tearing through the top layer of coir.

Did some g2g to 10 more qt jars, jars are looking okay maybe a little to much moisture but the mycelium is recovering nicely.

The mini with the top layer is coming along nicely day 5 from spawn

Just a little update on the two minis, have some knots forming and a nice even distribution. I'd say were getting close!


This is just a random container I had overfilled some jars so when i did g2g i had a 1/3 qt of spawn left so threw it in why not.


Finally some g2g jars looking pretty darn close maybe 2 more days.


Was curious what the bottom looked like, and as I thought earlier I need to get my surface conditions down because bottom pin city. Hopefully you can see it in the picture. Just shows I'm still a newbie trying to get it down.

Edit:
Fixed my surface conditions and woke up this morning to what's looking to be a real solid pin set!
Heres a close up where you can see some clusters pushing through.

Might not be able to tell yet with the picture but it's like that across the entire tub.

Excited to see what happens over the next couple days but there are pins galore on these couple minis!

things are looking fine man. On the topic of "not being able to maintain surface conditions" it's way too early for you to be thing about that. Until fully colonized the moisture will remain sucked up in the sub. Trying to maintain proper surface conditions before colonization will lead to an overly soaked sub and result in all kinds of problems. Leave it alone as best you can until It's colonized. A light mist here and there won't be a problem but if you go spraying until it looks right (to your new eyes) you'll screw it up.

Don't be afraid to check on it but try your best not to mess with it too much. It's hard at first do to the excitement of your first grow but trust me. There more you fuck with it the more likely you'll screw something up.

I've slowly started to figure that out. Nature works best when left to do it's own thing. I've been searching on something related to the colonization and cant really seem to find a definite answer. So the tubs are I'd say 95% colonized except for the last maybe 1/16 of an inch of the 1/4 inch top layer of coir. But it's currently putting up primordia/knots/pins. The most definitive answers I've found so far is either, its bacterial and fruiting early. Or the very top dried out and the remainder of the sub had formed a microclimate between the two layers and started to use the favorable conditions to fruit. Any insight on this?

It's no big deal man. Don't worry about it. There could be many reasons. Misting b4 full colonization, surface is dry, (I doubt it's from bacteria but it's a possibility) thick top layer, uneven surface ect... it's fine tho.

Gotcha, definitely good to know. I always like to find out what's going on with anything I work on. The whole strive for improvement, and to have a solid understanding of things even if it doesnt really matter. I'm just a curious person lol

Yea I get it. Does the surface look to wet or too dry? Usually with bulk subs, even if it's bacterial it'll fully colonize. Bacteria doesn't thrive in coir like it can on grains. It's more than likely the moisture content of the coir.

I looked at ur pics again. I couldn't really see b4 cuz of my shitty screen and the sunlight lol. It looks like the surface is just too damp. Mycelium won't colonize coir that's too wet. That's fine tho as long as it's not soaking wet.

Yuep I think your right, its definitely not soaked and would make sense I didnt go crazy with misting but definitely did mist the surface lightly a couple times. A nice even distribution absorbed by the top 1/16 inch of coir. Lol
