First Shoeboxes Grow Log

I just spawned 5 BRF cakes to coir bull, it’s my first ever grow, and it feels amazing! Everything from the joy of popping open the jars, smelling the mycelium, and shredding the cakes into spawn was absolutely so exciting. I love this hobby so much! I hope they end up more than shoeboxes of contamination! Thank you guys for all your help and wonderful TEKS.
The Walmart bag on top is a solo cup of stalled/ contaminated cakes that I isolated the mycelium from and shredded up, just to give them a chance at life. It’s probably stupid, I know it’s a dumb noob thing to do, but I just wanted to give them a chance. I’ll keep everyone updated!

Here’s an update two days later! I noticed the mycelium is looking really fuzzy where the mycilium poking up at the top, does it look that way to anyone else? What does this mean? Also, in general, is everything looking alright?

Looks good bro. I would keep the lid on and let it colonize

I mean. It is dark as fuck so first thing I thought actually was possibly wet but hard to say if it is or not
It looks like it's doing fine as far as I can tell

I’ve been checking my shoeboxes multiple time daily I’m so excited for them. They’re growing much faster than I had anticipated! I think I’ve got good FAE and the moisture seems better today. The pitiful contaminated cakes I cleaned up and put in the solo cup look great too!

I checked this morning, and both my Huatula and B+ shoeboxes are contaminant free and forming knots!

Nice! Now the best thing you can do for them is latch the lid and leave them alone. Start some more projects to keep your mind occupied. Get into agar work, it’s loads of fun.

It’ll be tough, but I know I’ve gotta stop opening it to look at it. I’m interested in agar, it just seems intimidating. I’ll start doing that research tonight!

Yah what he said. I am a complete noob and started off on agar, cloning from a dried mushy. As long as you follow proper sterile technique it's super easy. Now I have plenty of healthy mycelium but no fruits YET😬
If I can do it, anyone can!

Literally you just mix some ingredients in a jar, pressure cook it, pour it into plates in the SAB once the liquid cools, then inoc it with whatever after it solidifies
Spores or tissue or whatever

They grow up so fast. I'm suprised how well the solo cup is doing, considering it's just two stalled cakes mixed into coir in a Walmart bag.

What's your lighting setup, they look a lil skinny. IME lids that aren't translucent diffuse too much light so I usually dubtub my shoeboxes and set them under my light. I got tired of messing around with the clunky setup having 6+ shoeboxes to dubtub at the same time and just switched over to mainly monos after my first run through. Also start some more spawn if you haven't already, I try to keep something rolling on every stage simultaneously.

I am using ambient lighting as of now, so that's probably why they're looking slim. I plan on using lights in my next grow. I have 7 almost fully colonized BRF cakes I plan to use as spawn as soon as these shoeboxes are done.

My B+ shoebox and B+ solo cup absoltuley exploded over night! My Huatula shoebox, not no much, but I keep seeing new pins on it. How's everything looking to you?

Like I just said, I'm seeing a lot of new pins and some growth, but not as much compaired to the other guys.

And they're done! I was hoping to print the massive B+ before it dropped all of it's spores, but after yesterday's trip I was in no condition to try and do anything like that. It was wild! My Huatula strain, which was admittedly disappointing me a bat until now, absolutely exploded into massive fruits I didn't ever think I'd be getting on my first ever flush. Thank you so much to everyone who made this possible on this forum!
