Is it time for fruiting conditions? HELP! * 1
    #26663729 - 05/11/20 02:59 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hi there!
This is my first time so I need some information from the Pros.

I have two containers (one small and one extra large) of colonized substrate.
The spawns (what was different grains inoculated with spores directly) was mixed with coco coir and vermiculite about 6 weeks ago. My spawn-substrate ratio was a little bit thin, so it took a very long time for the colonization.

The little box already had 3 mushrooms before, after I picked them, the process stopped. I tough it was an early pinning, so I put it back into a dark sterile wardrobe. The XL box is in the wardrobe too.


The small box fruiting again, but just with a few pins again. It was already a poor mixture of substrate and spawn, I made it as an nothing to loose option, because I mixed it with a halfway-dead cake from a shop. So I tried to make a new cake with an old cake + new spawn + substrate.

It's not looking bad anyway, but I want to talk about the XL BOX!
I attached some pictures... Do I need to wait more, do something differently, or should I put it into fruiting conditions?


Thanks a lot!

You don't have to wait for full colonization to put in "fruiting conditions".
Give FAE and light directly after spawning your tubs.

Is it the proper way, or is it just ONE way people do?
Just asking, don't get it wrong.
I read opinions like this and that before.

It is a widely accepted way in this community. I'm sure some people still do spawn runs, but they're a minority.

Yeah spawn runs used to be what everybody did, myself included - kept our subs closed up until they were fully colonized. So in most older information you will find this.
A few years ago people started making the switch. I think it makes for healthier substrates and shorter time from spawning to pins.
