Question about Surface Moisture
    #26397930 - 12/23/19 04:56 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

I posted this message in Bodhisatta's Q&A NewJack thread, and I'll extend my thanks to anyone that can help here too:


Hey Bod- or whomever can land a solid answer.

I have a new bin working and have a question about surface moisture.

I think I've a handle on what a well watered surface looks like, but I'm curious about evap time and ideal time between watering.

My sub was good going down, but I'm in super low humidity now and I fret without a RH reader, and I'm new.

I know allowing the evap period is good- they need to quench, and metabolize, and then thirst, and then rehydrate- so when is ideal to reload with surface hydration?

As soon as it's dry .25-.5" down, or after it's been dry longer? My sub's CV and depth is 3" in a non-Bod-bin.

Also, I estimate I'm 90-100% colonized, looking healthy, and moving to a consolidation period before fruits.

Or if someone knows where else I can post to grab the right attn, please advise.


Thanks Forum!

I suppose my real question is more: how do psil mycleium best respond to watering patterns as they develop?

Do they like to be very promptly refreshed, or does leaving them Thirsty for a period encourage growth?

When you mix the tub you should dunk your grain spawn to rehydrate. The evaporation of water from the substrate triggers pinning, after that it's keeping an eye on surface conditions and misting when it looks dry. Beads of water on the surface is good, if there are no beads of water then mist just enough to make it look like dew on a lawn early morning. Re-dunk between flushes.

Someone might end up correcting me on some of this but that's my 2cents.

:goodluck:

Thanks Stu, dunking grain pre sub mix seems like a pro-tip maybe?

We'll let the board cosign or not...!
