I don't use the layer, spawn and the substrate is mixing. I'm very happy with the result. I wish to see results of this topic  :takingnotes:

Update:

Coir top layer


Verm top layer


No top layer



I introduced FAE today - on day 10. They all seem to be knotting up pretty good but I'm a little concerned with the verm layer...
Its hard to tell whats going on under there lol hopefully they catch up soon. ill do another up date when I see some pins


Edit; today I check the boxes and noticed tuns of side knots on the verm boxes, might have to get a FC going and fruit them like cakes...  :justdontknow:

Sorry the lighting is a little off in my place today. There is a big ass window on the left side of the room.
Usually I take pics in the evening so there is no natural lighting interfering with the pics. I should of mentioned this.

The no top layer got its first pins today.. they are the first ones spawned so the rest shouldn't be too far behind.
Looks like there will be lots of side pins but thats ok.. side pins are better than no pins lol  :shrug:

will edit with pics latter tonight!

Fuck I shit the bed hard on this experiment... due to work and being a lazy stoner. 
These boxes did NOT have my full attention like they should have.. this is most likely why I had shitty results lol
I will give an update here but you guys will have to just trust my word for it.

Verm casing sucks. hard to harvest without making a mess and TUNS of side/bottom fruits with the smallest yield so far.
Had to harvest the first flush in batches because the fruits didn't all finish at the same time.

No casing colonized the fastest and got the biggest yield but still quite a few side/bottom pins.
Hard to keep the surface conditions good with no casing. also had to harvest in batches.

The top layer did the best imo. took a little longer to fruit but almost no side/ bottom fruits.
Was a full flush tho, fruits all finished at the same time. will probably use this method from now on.

With all that being said I just harvest the first flush over the past 3 days.. I think all 12 only yielded like 3 oz dry :facepalm3:
I agologize to anyone who was looking forward to seeing pictures.. I'd like to say I'll do better next time but I don't like to make promises I can't keep lol
I will come back with a full dry weight when they stop producing flushes. Again sorry for my neglect, I hope you all can forgive me lol

Any pictures of your final results?

3oz is better than nothing at least !

The reason I asked about those pots is because soil and indoor plants/vegetable planters tend to be full of shit that you probably don't want sitting so close to your tubs. Mold spores, mold, bacteria, etc.

Caps don't open early, they're just small fruit

oh shit yo that. Thanks Caps.
is it my fault or just shitty genetics?

I thought if the sub was too wet or too dry it could cause small fruits.

Fruit size is mostly related to moisture content of the substrate. Not necessarily surface conditions though. Simply not having enough bulk substrate which is what holds most of the water can cause them to be small.

Oh ok. Thanks for the info Kizzle :toast:

My last boxes I had some verm mixed in and the fruits way bigger.
These ones are straight coir (besides the one with a verm casing)

I broke one of the subs in half by accident and noticed it was a little dryer then my last ones. Maybe I should bottom water a little longer then I have been.

I also like to keep my lids cracked during the day because I'm always scarred that my sub is past full capacity.
I will give them a good mist, close them up and see if that makes a difference with the second flush.

Is psuedocasing just the layer covering the spawn / sub mix at time of spawning?
