I know how it is I just started in October. You’ll pick it up quick. All the tiny little white dots are the first stage of fruiting, they’ll pop up into pins anytime

Read more about knotting, primordia and pins - they are stages of growth that we can visually identify.

Do you think I should of put a thicker layer of substrate over the top whenever I spawned? I mixed everything, and then sprinkled just a very light layer over the top. I didn't want to put too much and everything be so high so I could allow room for growth. When I look at everyone else's it seems like they still have lots thick brown substrate with pins growing through. Everything on mine seems to be turning white. The mycelium is starting to look and become clumpy.  Also room temps are 70-75, should I do anything different with temperature?

If your dudes are pinning, which you should learn to visually identify (see post above),

You dont "Need" a casing. Casing is said to improve fruiting, but it is not
strictly required for normal cubes, it is however required for others

Dont know if adding a casing after pinning has begun will help it, but I think it will help some because of the water alone.

However, I would not add coir now. I would add vet verm.
Any opinions on that, lurkers?

:threadmonitor:

Gonna see what the TC's say

I’ve been doing like 1/3 inch layer of coir on top at spawn. I think 1/4 inch of actual casing is the recommended amount, using the peat/verm mix.

No I’m not talking about putting anything now. I’m talking about when I originally spawned, if I should of made the top layer a little thicker because I always see others with pins with still a lot of substrate around. I only barely sprinkled enough just to cover the top whenever I spawned. I didn’t make it a quarter inch or anything. My whole top is just completely white now with no pins. The mycelium is just becoming clumpy, there are no pins. I wouldn’t want to go back and add anything now. I’m just asking do you think I should of done it like that, or does it seem mine is progressing normally? I usually see pins on others with still lots of substrate around. Mine is just getting all thick clumpy white all on top with no pins. And how is my temperature? My room temperature stands between 72 and 76.

Yours is normal. The ones you’re talking about probably have a peat moss casing. You can wait til the surface is totally colonized like yours is then put a casing layer on it.
