Shoebox Tek Timing
    #26512956 - 03/02/20 02:21 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

Hello all,

I'm doing my first grow and using a Bod's Easy AF tek for colonization (https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24981864), and plan on using a shoebox tek for fruiting (https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24038695/fpart/1/vc/1).

My jars aren't completely colonized yet; based on how they've been growing, I'm guessing some have only one or two days left while others could have up to five days (I nocced about 3 weeks ago). My problem is that next friday (the 13th of March. Today is the 2nd for reference.), I'll be away for a week or so (up to 10 days). So, if I wasn't going away, I'd probably make the substrate for the shoeboxes and mix up the spawn sometime this week once all the jars were done growing. I'm afraid, though, that I'll end up doing that and they fruit when I'm away and the harvest will be screwed.

What should I do? Put them in the shoeboxes ASAP and hope they are harvestable before I leave? Or wait until the last day before I leave to put them in, and hope they don't fruit before I come back? AFAIK so long as I get the moisture level of the coir right they shouldn't need too much attention while I'm gone so I'm not too worried about that. It may be possible for me to come back for one day and check on them too.

Any help is really appreciated. Thank you!

I’d toss them in the fridge until the 10th. Spawn on the 12th, and you’ll come back to a pinset or a colonized SB.

I’d spawn right before you leave. That way you skip all the boring stuff and come back when knots are starting.

Just put a little thicker top layer on it and spray it down before you go.

Or you could always spawn right before you go and put foil with ge holes on it. That way it’ll colonize but not fruit. But why wouldn’t you want to come home to knots or pins if you’re lucky??

Is there any reason to put them in the fridge compared to just letting them consolidate until then?

Just to make sure they don’t pin invitro. Some cultures will pin at 100%, even without FAE.

As long as you give them 2 days to recover after the fridge, it’s no harm no foul.

Fridge will slow them down.
