First Shoebox - Constructive Criticism
    #26853797 - 07/30/20 02:51 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Hey hope everyone is having a good day so far.

Here’s my first shoebox. I had some okay success with PF tek and an abundance of BRF/Verm jars colonizing right now. I got like a little over 3oz wet from a few cakes. Not the best but dried out to be almost 10g

I have a grow log that I currently post to, link in my signature.

So I decided to shred 2 BRF/verm cakes to coir/verm in a shoebox. I used the bucket tek for the coir/verm and let it cool. The brf cakes were fully colonized but I did not consolidate, soaked for 12 hours then grated on a cheese grater. Clean mushroom smell filled the room lol.

I did a 2:1 ratio of coir/verm to spawn. Here it is on spawn day (7/27)



And today (7/30)



How does it look so far ? Really haven’t misted at all and the surface conditions seem to be alright. Idk if it’s knotting yet though, I would expect to see pins within a week I think.

Looks good so far. A week would be really fast, I usually expect pins around day 12-15.

Assuming the cakes were half pint that’s about half a quart of spawn so if it flushes really well the first time it’ll probably be one and done.


Shoeboxes are the best, keep doing what you’re doing and it should do well.

Awesome thanks for the tips dude. My PC should arrive by 8/13 and it’s the last piece of the agar puzzle right now. It is B+ so overall it’s been fast, I think 3 weeks to full colonization in the jars.

I’m excited to see my first pins in a shoebox, I’ve only done Pf tek/cakes before this. I have 20 jars Of APE/PE that are colonizing right now, like 4 of the PE didn’t colonize at all by 11 days but I have 16 more that are doing well and will shred all of those to shoeboxes as well while I start agar. I have b+ prints and a couple MSS.

Really my goal would be to just get a slant of every variety

when you see knotting you will know its a knot. Kind of like its an instinct.

I think it looks a bit dry, but it looks healthy.

Thats exactly what I was going to say, my first grow I kept questioning whether this or that was a knot, when it did finally knot though there was no question about it.

I did prep my coir/verm maybe a bit under field capacity. When I squeezed it in my hand though, just a few drops came out. I did give it a mist today however there have been tiny droplets suspended on the surface for like a full day now

Tiny droplets is what you want playaaa.  If it looks like a swimming pool in there you'll have problems.

I’m keeping my expectations in check but also am hopeful. I ate a gram dried of the B+ I grew about 3 hours ago and didn’t feel too much compared to 1g of the PE that I got from a friend. I’m really interested in trying them fresh
