Penis Envy: When to apply casing layer

Hello Shroomery Community,
I am posting my first PE monotub. I want to apply the casing layer after 100% colonization as advised in LotKid's tips (https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24558634/fpart/1/vc/1). My question is does this tub look completely colonized? I used a 1:3 spawn ratio of brf cakes to coir/verm.

Go ahead and case. Looks colonized at this point. I do late casing for PE as well. The results are constantly of that in my sig. You got this.

-------------------- Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

It typically takes over the casing and then will fruit, IME. Totally normal.

Do you guys fruit when you apply casing? Or let is colonise again?

I usually case mine at 80-100% and then let it stay in colonization for a few more days to consolidate a little bit before fruiting.
Mine have also always grown into the casing and then fruited. I know a lot of people keep casing as it gets colonized until pins start but I’ve never done that. I did have two cultures that I wish I had though.

Thanks I was busy with a cid trip but got the casing layer on this morning (I figured an extra day of consolidation wouldn't hurt). Will be updating with pics as they start fruiting!

I like to case at spawn with 60/40 Verm Coco with good results. Definitely want to try Lotkid's casing recipe in the future, dude knows his stuff.

with penis envy, i fruit directly after casing, once 100% colonized. i remember fruiting after 3 or 4 days and not getting as good of results using the very same cultures; the pinset seemed thicker when i fruit right at casing. penis envy always overtake a 50/50 peat verm casing for me. with this way, as the casing get taking over, near fruiting time, i see lots of shrooms popping up direcly on casing and lots coming up from what appears to be underneath casing.
ape is different, i tested these both ways too, i let the casing take over with mycellium for about 3 for 4 daysish, then fruit.

Yeah I was planning to fruit the tub after 3-4 days because I can never seem to get my fae and humidity dialed in how I would like. I get fuzzy feet or the surface dries out. Just recently switched to micropore tape on the holes and it has not helped much.

If that doesn't work out, I'd try Pasty's EZ Dialed tubs. I switched from MP tape and I'm noticing things are moving a lot quicker, even for some of my slower varieties.

I actually just read that write up by Pasty today and will be giving it a try when I have spawn ready in a few days. Very curious to see how it performs.

Using Pastys EZ Dial now on a 27qt on some PEs. My FAE and surface conditions seem much better than the classic modified tub. I havent tried to scale to a bigger tub yet however.
I am currently running a test with and without casing just for fun They are at 14 days with really aerial myc. Put the casing on one and its already eating through it in one day.

Without a casing youll end up with a harsh blob set unless you got some steller genetics ,i tried getting away with jst a sub top layer on 5 tubs recently and ended up having to scrape it all off with a spoon got 13 oz of potent af blobs but had to scrape the rest off with a spoon , it jst turned to a mat of unpickable blobs for the rest , it was a fucking nightmare will never do that again . Now im back to casing with jiffy 7 days after full colonization and everythings lookin good again, i did end up with one tub of half pins-ish n blobs with no harsh matting so gona try n.clone something from that n hopefuly get something stable that doesnt require a casing , ill know in a month or so,
Whats everybody else using for a casing with good results? Itd be nice to not have to pasterize:
