Reducing FAE on polyfill mono
    #26841662 - 07/23/20 10:20 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Hi guys I built a few mono tubs that all have polyfill in the holes instead of being covered with tape. They are about 5 days or so in to colonization and are starting to look pretty colonized. I am wondering if I should cover the polyfilled holes with maybe a bedsheet or something to reduce the amount of FAE, and then take it off when I am ready to induce fruiting conditions. Basically my question is, should I cover the poly filled holes tightly with something like a bedsheet or towel since they are still in the colonization faze, and then take it off when I am ready to induce fruiting?

No. Introduce fruiting conditions as soon as you spawn your tubs. No need for bedsheets or anything. Adjust your FAE by stuffing your polyfil tighter or looser.

Can't really tell you if you need to reduce or increase FAE without pics.

Ok, thanks for the response! Here are some pics of the tubs, I had a hard time getting clear pictures through the tubs but here’s what I got.

Take the lid off to take pics. Fresh air is good for mushrooms.
