When should I FRUIT THIS SHOEBOX?
    #25933061 - 04/13/19 07:38 PM (5 years, 9 months ago)

When do you guys think I should spend the kid and fruit this? The casing layer seems a little thick IMO bit I have some growth showing on top. Thx a lot!

How many days since it's been spawned?
And what variety is it?

Just put them into fruiting conditions after you spawn it. Leave the lid on latched or unlatched it doesn't really matter then once pins start dub it.

I would wait at least 10 days before I put that in fruiting conditions. It takes longer than you would think..

Wait you lost me... I'm doing shoeboxes so I thought after the substrate colonizes, all I am suppose to do is take the lid off and put a plastic bag over it. What do you mean by "dub it"? Sorry...

Ok... so after around 10 days all I should do is just take the lid off and put a plastic bag over it? Or I can put it in a bigger container with perlite? One or the other, correct?

I'd up the FAE in a week to help initiate pinning.
I usually do that around 12-14 days.
That casing layer is pretty thick so you might run into some problems there.

Don't dub it, use the bag.

Edit: "dub it" is taking another shoe box and flip it over on the colonized shoe box, but a bag works just fine and is cheaper..

to be honest, you dont have to do anything. You can leave the lid latched and your mushrooms will grow fine, if they start getting near the lid either unlatch it, dub tub it(flip a shoebox over and place on top of your current one), or bag it. You get plenty of fae with the lid latched and your mushrooms will fruit fine.

For the next week and a half leave it by the TV, so you can see it and keep am eye on it. But dont touch it, or open it.

Not true about leaving the lid latched, if there's not enough FAE during fruiting, then there's no evaporation on the surface and that means poor pinning or none.

I don't know why anyone would want to use a bag? Shoeboxes are cheap as f--k. I will always dub it.. I'm not trying to be a dick but did you even try to look this shit up?

Just flip the lid after spawn or 10 days in doesn't matter, and then when you see pins emerging
you can offset the flipped lid somewhat to increase FAE further for healthy fruit development. No bags nor dubtub needed

There is literally no reason to use a bag unless you don't have another shoe box lol, and there is literally no reason not to go into fruiting conditions after you spawn. You don't have to wait a week or 10 days or any days for that matter your sub will pin when its time to pin simple as that. But if you are like me and sometimes mess up moisture of my coir aka way to much h2o then I leave the lids pretty much off or throw some verm on top of the sub, it will help you see different surface conditions.

There is literally no reason to use another shoe box unless you don't have a lid or a bag :shrug:

I just use the lid. A lot of the varieties I've been growing in shoeboxes mature fully with the lid still on or just they just slightly push the lid up. Other times if they are growing bigger then that I'll dubtub but only if I have a spare shoebox. Otherwise a bag works fine.

If you do have an extra empty shoebox around though, dub tubs work well. I wouldn't buy extra shoeboxes to dub tub shit though

Its not 100% necessary to dub it but it wont hurt it either. If you just leave the lid on it will be fine too. I'd personally take the lid off after you start getting pins. But it's a good way for you to see different surface conditions so you can learn what is good and what is not so good. Good luck.
