Would it be of interest for anyone to view my documentation of shoebox grow?

So I have decided to document my first shoe box attempt. Based on shaperdreamers guidance https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/26009662

My shoe box is a little bit bigger than What he uses, with The dimension being 37(L) x 29(W) x 19(H)cm.

That's why I initially started growing... I wanted to do some mental work and I'm still considering microdosing but I wouldnt be able to keep it up for long as I recently stopped growing..

But ya dude grains are the way to go...you'll get so much more weight  quart to quart vs brf... brf is 3/4 verm so it just cant put out as much weight.

Same here. What is your on/off schedule?

And how much do you take? I always seem to take a bit too much (~0.4 gr) or too little (~ 0.2-0.3 gr). Just don't seem to find the right spot.

Do you also trip additionally on some days?

Ok so....
I didn’t document the crumbling of my BRF cakes as it was a bit messy however I have used 1:1.5 coir for the shoebox.
It is in a cub board now with a tube rad at 28°C here are some pics




If your wondering what the cloth bag in the box is, it’s because even though I followed the instruction it was still too wet, so it is how I wrung the excess water out Of the coir.

Fingers crossed

Wouldn’t it be easier to just squeeze the coir out if you’re only doing the one tub?

That’s what I did.
Not sure what to do with the excess coir now.
Searching for TEK that spawns straight to coir or wondering if one can create a PFtek with coir,verm and BRF

I may be just dreaming

Actually, I managed to find a post on Shroomery, where it was advised to post the excess in the oven to dry out. I have since stuck it in my dehydrator

Just leave extra coir to sit and dry.
Yes you can make cakes with them they become a bit more compact than verm cakes but they do well

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

Following the SFF shoebox as well with great results! It's pretty set and forget. Less moving parts!

Looking forward to seeing the fruits of your labor!

So far what I love about using coir and mycelium mix it the smell...
Smells so sweet... it smells like waking up next to a beautiful woman in the morning, just after the sun has risen and the morning dew is inviting you both to dance in the grass together.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I know this may sound dumb...
But do You literally close and lock the lid of your shoe box till they start pinning?
I’m used to SGFC with cakes which is all about FAE.

🍻 cheers
Apologies, for I’m gonna hound you with the following questions.
1. Do you just use BRFand coir, no gypsum?
2. I know it’s about KISS, but I have a bag of verm and a box of dried manure pellets, both I bought to use in growing. If I’m all good with my coir and shoeboxes adventure, I want to use them up. Do you think it is possible to combine them in jars or as shoebox substrate?

Yeah for sure fam, if you hydrate the manure and it feels muddy add verm till you get a good consistency

Cool. I’ll be doing that with a albino cub spore syringe I have in the fridge this evening then.
Needs using up. After full colonisation I’ll transfer them to the other two shoe boxes I have.

I would either

A. Find a way to use the coir/ make more spawn and more tubs

B find a way to cut a chunk of the brick before you hydrate it so you dont have so much excess...

I wouldn't mess with trying to dry it after the fact,  that's just me though.  Sounds like a pain in the dick and a mess. If your only doing one shoe box at a time I'd definitely up your game if you have the means...

I wouldnt store it veryong while its wet either..

They have loose coir in bags, I wonder if that would be a good alternative for anyone not wanting to use a brick at a time...

Yeah I know, it sounds like I’m a bit of an idiot. I was following a tut which doesn’t use percentages of substrate only volume. I know I could have worked out the math, but I didn’t.

I was thinking, after I get my first flush, would it be worth crumbling the substrate of that shoe box and adding it to more coir, in further boxes. Would the mycelium develop further?

Day three, mycelium seems to be poking its way through the top layer.

It smells sooooo good

Ok.... now I’m probably paranoid, obsessing or both
Does this look alright, or is it still too early to tell.

Yeah.. way too early.  I’d say just try and forget about it for a couple/few days and check on it then... besides, I’m not too sure what we’re suppose to be looking at in those pics.  Looks like a tub that was made a few days ago :shrug:

The lower level looks like the mycelium has grown though.
There are tiny bits of coir that in the sides that have white fluff... could that be myc. Hmnnn on a tiny bit of coir? (I’m sure all of you who have mastered this are shaking your heads with disappointment and disapproval)  :facepalm3:  :shrug:

Being adhd having issues with working memory, it should be easy for me to “set and forget”...

When to pop the lid? I have overgrowth I think. I am sooo bad at this... bloody impatient and impulsive. I think ADHD means I’m  not a farmer.... I’m  a hunter!

I’m gonna be honest...

There was over growth, probably due to me not leaving it alone
:banghead:
I misted... it looked dry. There I said it.
Then there was over growth, and I freaked out... Shroomery was down (my life line to myco sanity)
And I impulsively chucked dry coir on it...

It now looks like this

1. Do I leave it and see what happens?
2. Break it up and transfer it to more shoeBoxes with a mix or hydrated manure pellets and coir?
3. Break it up and transfer it to more shoeBoxes with a mix or hydrated manure pellets and coir, and brf&verm?
3. Give up stick to PFtek (don’t really want to)?

Dude chill  :chillpill2:

It looks fine (healthy) but pretty dry. Mist a little on top and leave it alone till tomorrow. The mycelium will probably colonise all that top layer. Overgrowth or matted mycelium is something different, like this:

It kind of looked like that but not as bad... snowflaky..

If that over growth snowflakiness due to not enough FAE, too much misting 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sounds like you need to smoke a joint and relax. You've posted 7 posts in the last 3 hours here basically talking to yourself and gradually losing sanity :laugh:

Patience (and ability to resist one's urge to constantly fiddle and micro manage the grow)  is one of the most important skills in mycology.

In many scenarios if the contamination has got hold of the mycelium not much you can do will fix it (you really can only fix cobweb mold) - so you can wait it out and hope some fruits still happen or just start again.

Lol. I hear ya on the ADHD. Shits annoying sometimes. Try to leave well enough alone. But my advice is get a bunch of shit going. Like way more than you need so that you have some to tinker with and some to leave alone. Foucus your energy on making more spawn and leave the boxes be. Also try kratom. I started it to get off pain meds and found that it also replaced my ADHD meds. Good luck. Keep growing them booms.

I was in a similar uncertainty myself in what looks like the same stage. The RH in my grow area is 20-30% and surface drys super fast with lid off. I decided the other day to keep lid on loosely, keeping surface slightly damp. The plan is to remove lid once fully colonized. Seems to be doing well so far.

Thing is I chuck coir on thinking the myc was to wet, as if it was casing saw dust to soak up puke. 🤷🏻‍♂️ (impulsivity).
Anyway I have left it as can be seen in the previous pics, with the lid slightly open (3mm gap).

I’m gonna leave it
Like I should have done and breeeeeeaaath

Kratom is illegal in the UK.... need to research it.

I have just got some Petri dishes so I’m gonna see if I have work with some spores prints I have. I also have inoculated some albinos cubes too (PFTEK), to hopefully transfer In two other shoeboxes I have.
I also need to play my guitar.... she gently weeps envious of the shrooms

Hold up, no one has anything against crumbling DRY coir on top of a mostly colonized sub ?

Seems like a major no no.

OP you should probably give it a generous misting if you actually meant what you said. Like never-hydrated “dry”, right?

Man you gotta level or remove that coir, soak it, then put the whole thing away for a week.

Did you sandwich the spawn inbetween layers of coir or did it just grow like that??

Also what’s going on with that uncolonized spot on the side with all the rhizo? I had a spot like that and i couldn’t figure out why it was totally untouched, then realized im an idiot and it was coir that had gotten under the liner.

I’m spraying it lightly so as not to wet it as I was impulsive and through dry coir on it, but it has grow through it well as can be seen in previous pictures
Quote:

the spawn started as 3x300ml BRF cakes that I crumbled into pea size and smaller and combined with ODFC coir, mixing the coir substrate and coir for about 20 mins and checked through the box that the spawn was well distributed throughout the coir.

:shrug: That’s why I took a pic thinking the Shroomery community would be able to enlighten me. Maybe it is a coir that I missed when I though I was mixing thoroughly, That said though, it has got smaller in comparison to what it was. :shrug:

Just make sure to keep an eye on surface conditions if you need to make adjustments or just waiting for sub/myc to absorb the excess moisture..

Shoeboxes are generally set and forget for the first flush if you get the right field capacity(slightly under is good) and a wetter micro-climate on top that should look like beading and small droplets interwoven on the Myc/substrate surface.

How to Keep Those Surface Conditions Super Sexy Tek

Fav SFF Assembly shoebox Tek is in my signature w lot's of helpful images and lot's of useful info to save making mistakes.

Find a good guide/stick to it with a disciplined attitude if you want to make things work well. Over-thinking/giving in to your worries will only work against your progress. Just put in a tried and true Tek.. follow to the very word of instructions and you will have amazing results, I promise.

The initial field capacity was 1 or 2 drips.  I think it was drying maybe, I have since sprayed and it looks like little beads as illustrated in the images on that link.

I will take some pics and upload shortly

This looks beady, I think... so I will keep an eye in that. I was hesitant to spray as it was “Set and Forget”.
So clearly not, totally or at least in my case...

Looks like great surface conditions!

You can even wait until the Coir to get to a lighter brown shade before choosing to mist.

The slight drying of Substrate sometimes just means that the myc has sponged up the excess and doesn't always mean you should mist it right away.

That was after you posted the link to the visual references.

So Thanks

I try and post images daily, maybe excessive. But it means my fussing can be focused on that I have some brf/verm jars inoculated which will be transferred to the other shoeboxes when they are ready.

Little A+ albinos
They Seem to be going fine too.

Am hoping to work on some agar soon too.

Lol I noticed that starting in the older pics, figured it was either drying out or from the dry coir ontop somehow.

Shoulda left it alone man.

You’re like the uk meaculpa lol.

It doesn’t look like mold so it’ll prob still pin.

Ah ha...

I spot a pinhead


Can be seen in previous pic, too but noticed after. (No it’s not the green one

Hopefully it will bring me the pleasures of heaven or hell... but also provide me with some spiritual learning

A weird name drop but I had piss with the cenobite a few years ago in a public loo, the actor Kenneth Cranham... I said your a “Cenobite aren’t you” To which which he said “yes well spotted”
Pleased he wasnt interested in giving me any pleasures of heaven or hell...
Would have been a weird and probably unwanted george Michael thing but gorier.
Sorry... I’ll shut up now

Wow dude ur really driving yourself nuts...you'll be seeing some more fruits soon I bet. Just so you know, IME the one time I put brf to bulk sub I didnt get any better of a BE as having them as cakes... I still got the same yield per cake. So I woulsnt get your hopes up for how much you'll get... I think if you really wanna increase your yields you gotta switch to grains.

Btw I cant believe noone hasn't given you the "edit function " lecture yet. People always got pissed when i kept replying to my own replys...it isn't fair because it doesnt give other posters a fair chance to have their post seen because you keep bumping yours to the top...just what I've been told man, I could care less.

Yeah I’ve realised that... after I inoculated more BRF jars facepalm.
For my next instalment I I intend on using the BRF jar spawn with a coir and manure mix, with the assumption that the manure will add nutrients and increase the yield.

I have manure pellets, which I will have to hydrate. I assume that i can use the pasteurisation process to also hydrate.

I can’t find a thread that fully describes that what I want to do above, so it may have to be done through conjecture. 🙃

I have now understood the edit function

I think it hasn’t yet purely out of pity. I have been told but not by a moderator. It’s due to bloody impulsivity, which shrooms help with but I’ve run out. I excessively talk and type 🤦🏻‍♂️

They look like this



I would have to hydrate them then mix them with coir, then pasteurise

Lol my mom used to say that, and a lot of my friends parents, and it always confused me as a kid.

Then once I got old enough to realize parents aren’t infallible realized what was happening.

It is kind of funny how many people say it without realizing it means the opposite of what they want. Gotta be the most common mis phrasing.

More pins among the metabolites, hopefully the next shoe boxes will be so white, Trump will try and recruit it in to the KKK.

And the gap on the lid (Really exciting), with two of the 6 BRF jars for albino cubes to the left Of the box

Another pic



reminds me of the rising of the skeleton troop in Jason and the Argonauts

But only not as dramatic and not stop motion. Well I suppose the effects of shrooms can be as dramatic and scary too.

maybe The next grown documentation will have a time laps vid at the end.
Hmmnnn

Idk if anyone’s told you but your box is fucked.

You’ll get some mushrooms out of it obviously as it’s already started pinning but your not going to get anywhere near the actual bioefficiency of what you put in. I’d be surprised if you got 7g dry. One pin with that yellow bacteria (or possibly mold) tells me your gonna be disappointed

Thanks for the info.
I thought that the yellow was metabolites (“myco piss“, even though it isn’t piss)
Give me a box co-ordinate based on the pic below, for me to identify, as I am unaware.

Like I said above, I thought that was metabolites, as a result of myc fighting bacteria or dealing with stress or some sort.
I wouldn’t think it was fucked...

please enlighten me further if I’m incorrect.

Interestingly, I thought no pinning would happen in the yellowish  area... but there is pinning going on.

You’re incorrect. It’s bacteria.

Edit: I never said the grow’s fucked. It’s contaminated with bacteria though.

Bacteria often triggers pinning. The myc is is trying to procreate before all the nutes get taken over by the contam.

I’m interesting to know if there is a colour coding to the metabolites

I found this as the closest on scholar... but there maybe something more comprehensive that I have yet to find.

Naw totally possible. Bacteria just weakens the mycelium’s defenses, so there’s more of a chance of mold. I’ve had bacterial tubs go 3-4 flushes, though most I toss after 1.

My next boxes with any luck will be informed by this process

So in a way, if I was in a rush for them to grow, sneezing on them would speed up the process.

Haha you got the right idea.

But srsly, idk about sneezing, since it probably came from your spawn, especially since you spawned to coir. Plus yields suffer.

An intentional bacterial infection to speed up growth in a pinch could be an interesting idea though.

Thanks for the info.
I thought that the yellow was metabolites (“myco piss“, even though it isn’t piss)
Give me a box co-ordinate based on the pic below, for me to identify, as I am unaware.
Cheers








That weird grid thing with all the boxes and numbers is hilarious, I burst out laughing at that, it is a good idea though.

Yeah... I’m such a nerd.

Please it made you chuckle, after I posted it I thought you would think I was being annoying.

It’s via an app called copyit, I use it for gridding images that I want to draw and copy.

A lot of times you can tell there’s something wrong when the myc grows the big thick fingers like in the top of the second to last picture.

Usually if it’s metabolites it’s a much darker yellow and will be beads of liquid on the surface like water does when you mist.

Basically I’ve got to literally “clean” up my act.
What a dirty bastard!
I think I know when it happened... I freaked out when I misted tooo much and (impulsively) thought (and acted due to ADHD) that I could sprinkle  dry coir that I had previously  hydrated to soak up the water; like putting sawdust on puke 🤣 (bellend). It was bagged and probably got some bacteria from being left out to dry and then put in a dehydrator. I have now read that a clean paper towel would have done the job better.

Anyway... the best way of learning is usually from mistakes.

According to the shoebox tek tutorials you don’t get side pins. So I’m sure I’m an exception to the rule due to either I stressed the mycelium out or because I am an exception to the rule. 🙄
So these guys will be fun....
Any advice on how to eventually harvest these guys?


Also I’ve read people flip the Substrate (what do you call it: substrate/cake/mycelial mass?) When dealing with their fuck ups. Would that be a something worth attempting after I have harvested all the fruits, prior to attempting a second flush?

KEY:
white = original shoebox
Green = substrate/cake
Red = foil/bin liner (maybe both, foil can reinforce the bag, in the whole process)
Blue = other box

I have an idea of how I would do it. I would use some foil/bin liner about 4cm wider then the “cake”, push it down on to it with the 4cm extra pressed against the sides like so...



I would then place another box slightly smaller inside to hold it in while I flip it, but use the smaller box to hold/balance the foil and “cake/substrate”, so I can remove the shoebox, like so...



I will then flip everything (not gonna draw that using my iphone). Once the shoebox is removed, I would then fold the foil upwards around the sides, like so...



Then put it back in the the original shoebox...


When it’s time for a second flush, clearly I don’t dunk like a a BRF cake... so do I just spray?

I’m sure someone is gonna say “your over thinking this man!!!”

I will say in advance “Welcome to my world!!”

Some more pics for you entertainment or further bemusement...



I love these as they remind me of Antony Gormley's artwork “Field”

In my experience the side pins are from over-misting and not letting it evaporate enough in between or starting the main substrate/poop too high above field capacity.

Basically for the Myc the side of the substrate moisture is reading like perfect surface conditions which is what we try to avoid. That matting of the mycelium we were seeing before might be due to water pooling instead of small beads of mist.

Yellow is normal but just not the peak/best of conditions.
Looks like you have some nice pins. Doesn't look bacterial to me like other people are saying.. And in some situations have seen the myc piss go away once you get conditions optimized.

You are always going to have exposure to bad contams but it's our job to also make a great environment where the myc can strike back and also contain healthy bacteria.

It looks like they’re not quite side pins, but more like they’re pinning where the original sub was before you added more.

Either way it’s looking pretty good right now.

What about the fruit I have, they have grown sporadically and varied in size. Bods guide is is there is more of an even grow.

Man they grow quick....
I’ve had to cut some off, Im sure I’ll be told off.



I wanted to get as many spore printS as possible and I have managed to make a spore print already for my agar learning .



Thanks for the tips and comments... learned a lot and I will no doubt learn more again.

I really enjoyed the useful feedback so far...

For the second flush I should let it rest for a bit no?
Ive just realised I may have fucked up. I should have left them a few day before dunking, but I did. I am gonna leaves it and see, without mist for a couple of days.
I’ve just been misting, But I should leave it for a bit right? Rest For a couple of days, then dunk?

😖

Forgot to ask about the size of the substrate, it’s shrunk like a penis in the cold. Is that an issue for the substrate or just me ego.

Also I have notice side pins 🙄

Shrinking of the substrate in a box/tub is part of the fruiting process. The cake/substrate becomes denser as mycelium pulls everything together (initially upon spawning - it is relatively light density - mostly due to coir) and also a lot of molecules "turn" into shrooms and are chopped off - can't escape physics ...conservation of mass.

Side pins definitely become more of problem with shrinking - correct use of bin liner before spawning can mostly prevent that for later flushes (for the future projects only - please don't go mental and start wrapping substrate in bin bags now!).

That make perfect sense, thanks for explaining that.

Mum is that you?!?

Or have you been reading my other posts.

🤣 🤣

So a bin liner is a good option, that kind of adjusts to the sides as the substrate shrinks or can be made tighter with tape. Like what I had to do with my jeans after losing so much weight.

I’ve seen someone slice up the substrate and turn them on their sides on Shroomery, with the intention of giving the slices more room to grow

Yes, I've seen your update where you impulsively done things in this thread :smile:


Cutting it up is almost always a terrible idea - you weaken myceliums immune system by intentionally wounding it.

Why would you want to increase surface area of a cake - do you want more side pins .. because that is how you get side pins? Bigger surface area also increases loss of moisture via evaporation. Good substrate only grows shrooms on 1 surface.

Make sure you understand WHY people with more experience do things the way they do here instead of just copying :smile:

And always look at who posts the information - this forum is full of noobs who think they know stuff and give absolutely terrible advice.

Yeah I’m realising the noob thing as a noob, which is problematic using the search engines. I have tried to limit my advanced searches to TC (topcats/trickster culivators), but that doesn’t always lead to what I want as in depends on what I’m searching. I can’t remember if it also searches for only TCs thread and replies.

The advanced search is great but again there is a lot of misleading info that gets bundled in.

I wonder if there is a way to filter threads that are posted and replied to by TCs contain

Yes, there is - if you click on 'Search our forums' link at the top right corner it will lead you to advanced search screen. There are two tick boxes below text fields for "trusted cultivators" and "trusted identifiers" (more relevant for wild shroom ID, not so much growing).

Additionally it can be beneficial to limit the age of post/threads. Even for TCs some old posts don't contain the best information for a simple reason as 10-15 years ago TEKs were different (less efficient or more difficult to do for most part). It was good at the time but there could be better new details that supersede older ones.

I’ve played with that, however I’ve noticed the advanced search tips....

Gonna try a third and see what happens

After that I will try the substrate and make a tincture from it me thinks.

I’m curious how you rehydrated for the second flush.. did you dunk the sub or mist or just let it do it’s thing and also if there was any kind of noticeable potency variation between flushes?  Nice job!

Faht

I dunked it for two hours submerged with a weighted box on top. Not tried them yet, storing them in a ziplock bag containing Desiccant Bags within a UV jar in the fridge.

Will do, I’ll put them in a specific bag, thing is though the first lot I dried on a lower heat so they took longer. I followed some old info :frown:

I don’t think that should make too much of a difference.. I guess I’m asking for a significant difference, if you find one... I’m curious for science sake.

Half term soon so I’ll be try a batch this Sunday. Loads in ziplock bags, with silica sachets, in UV airtight jars in the freezer. Need to get rid of loads... need to find out the UK prices so I can trade with my “herbalist”. Don’t wanna ask him as he may do me short.
