Should I mist my sff tek shoebox? I have pictures worried they are too dry
    #26935814 - 09/14/20 07:35 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

I have two shoe boxes both have myc on the surface but it’s all fluffy mycelium with pretty much no beads of water, I think I may have made my substrate later too thin please give me some input

The mycelium will colonize most of the top before beads of water start to appear.

Did you mist for 20 seconds or so after putting a pseudo-casing? It does look a bit dry to me so I don't think another small mist will hurt. In the SFF tek shaper shows how it should turn a noticeable shade darker. Once you see this on the top you should be good to go.

The thinner substrate may cause it to dry out quicker - I'd recommend using more substrate next time around (I use 100g coir prepped with 450mL boiling water and mix with 2 myco pints of spawn. Then I spray the top layer about 60 sprays after putting the pseudo casing [1/3 of the coir])

Yes I did I misted the hell out of it, I’m just paranoid I guess. I have been reading up on it and I’ve heard that if your substrate level is thin it will most likely dry out pretty quick

And yeah I kind of messed up I used 1 and a half pints of spawn and 1 and a half pints coir, plus another pint for the top layer. The shoe box is actually a 7qt instead of a 6 qt so I ended up with the thin layer

Just wait until the surface is more colonized. If there's no beading at ~80% coverage mist away.

The additional quart of volume in the shoebox won't make a big difference. Maybe doesn't help in this case but you should be fine if you use 2 pints spawn to 3 pints coir like the original tek :thumbup:

I agree with gastronomicus. You might as just to wait until it finishes colonizing or pins start showing up and gauge whether it needs a mist from there.

Spawn to bulk ratio is pretty flexible. I am in the middle of a 1:5 grow now (3 quarts spawn to 15 quarts coir/manure/verm) and they are coming out well. Agaricus farmers go up-to 1:10 I've heard. Anything from 1:1 to 1:6 would be good for home grows I think. I wouldn't be concerned about adding too much or too little spawn as long as nothing was absurd. I've also heard that the optimal depth is 3-4 inches of substrate but there's nothing wrong with a bit thinner. I would be worried more if it were too thick.

Well I went ahead and did a light mist over it just enough to see beads of water on the surface, hopefully I didn’t over hydrate I’m gonna try to keep the boxes closed until I see pins
