Need BRF to Shoebox Advice
    #26505329 - 02/26/20 06:16 PM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Hi guys, I wanted to get some advice on my situation before I make my next move and potentially mess up my grow. I currently have 6 1 pint jars colonizing in an incubator. When I was checking on my jars last night I noticed that the most colonized among them is forming pins towards the top! I’m excited but also worried because this jar is still a few days away from colonizing fully and the other 5 jars are probably at least a week to two weeks behind it.

I was planning on shredding 2 jars per shoebox and mixing 1:1 with coco coir. But since this one jar is so far ahead now I’m thinking I might need to start my first tub with just this one jar instead. I’m worried that if I wait another week or two for the next one to catch up the first jar will have full grown mushrooms inside it and not be good to shred into a tub.

So I guess my question is: Is 1 pint of colonized substrate enough for a decent flush in a shoebox? Should I maybe up the coir ratio to 2:1 to make sure the substrate is deep enough? Or should I just wait until I have 2 pints ready to go? I’m curious what others have experienced with grows similar to this.

I’ve placed jars that are out of sync in the fridge to let the others catch up.  The last time I did that the jars were in the fridge for over 3 weeks with no issues.  I’d stick to your original planned ratio, put them in the fridge, and not worry about the early pins.

Not sure on what the best "ratios" are for making shoeboxes. But just wanted to say dont use an incubator. U can dry out your cakes/jars and it can also grow infections that way. Mycelium generates its own heat so incubators are totally unnneeded. If your grow space is below 60F, use a space heater/radiator heater instead.
