So what is the theory behind scraping the surface of the sub before casing it?
    #26363554 - 12/05/19 05:46 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

Also what about spawning to casing, or both, scraping the surface and mixing in into the casing.
What do you think?

Scraping colonized subs is pointless

It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn

Sounds like another thing for impatient people to do so they feel like they are speeding things up.:ytho:

When I case after immediately after spawning, the mycelium colonize the casing without any problems, if I let it go like a week days after full colonization without a casing layer, sometimes it seems like the mycelium wont touch the casing and kinda gets grossed out of it. Sticking the tip of a knife in and moving it around with the casing on, seems to get the mycelium out of the "shock" state. Worked for me couple of times :shrug:

I treat my subs like gold. I would never intentionally harm the sub.

My dude, never mind half of the crap i say. Referred to it doing NOTHING after casing except turning gray by a shock state. Now I apply casing after no more than 2 days after spawning.

Isn’t it supposed to not really colonize the casing, just kinda develop underneath then pop pins through??

I’m not sure but that’s what I’ve been thinking for some reason.

Some growers say so, others like to use thick casing and they let colonize anywhere between 50-100% 
I guess it's like the fight on which is better thin or thick pizza crust :lol:

Wow! Is that what's supposed to happen? Not at all what my impression was. I thought the casing was supposed to help hold in moisture and was to eventually wind up fully colonized before pinning. Of course, I think I've been only using a "pseudo-casing" of about 1/4 inch. It seems to be working well.

Not flaming but this is some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.

Colonizing then casing then fruiting has been proven pointless and in a lot of cases harmful for cubensis Mushrooms.

?? nothing wrong with what I said, I wasn't recommending anything to anyone and I clearly said that the mycelium did not like to be cased after full colonization (at least the genetics im working with).
basically I said that scraping the surface of substrate and mixing a small amount of the sub with the casing did help. That's why I made this post, to see if someone else had the experience.
In regard to what did say about casing -even though that I believe the same as you. you dont have the right to dumb this and that because you can't prove it. So it's an opinion.. which I don't give a dam about.

Casing layers don't need to colonize depending on how thick you apply it. 1/4" thick casing layer you just stick it into fruiting.
We don't spawn to casing, it's job is to put a micro climate on the surface of the substrate

It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn

:whathesaid:

Let's clarify some things.

Adding a layer of coir after you spawn is not casing. This is done
so that exposed grains don't dry out.

Casing is a layer that's added to the top of a colonized substrate
to provide humidity at the surface. You don't want a casing layer
to colonize. The mycelium should tunnel through it.

Hey Asura,
I don't have to worry about Coco coir because I can't find it nor verm locally.
I use pure pH buffered peat moss, I would like to add verm too when it's available.. thin layer of casing is not working great for me, since I'm using 1:1-2 spawn:bulk so the casing layer is getting steamrolled by mycelium after the first flush. It's still fruiting on top of the casing but that defeats the purpose of using casing layer like you said. That's why I use thicker casing because 1:1 substrate will overlay thin casing.
Here is a pic of 1:1.5 sub you can see how the casing layer is covered..

Any solution? Other than lowering nutrients.

Thanks for the input cronicr, too late though, I've already cased cloned Redboy tub (ahaha more like toolbox).
Scraped the surface then mixed it with the casing.

Kinda worried about exposed grains, hopefully I don't end up casing the casing.
