Learnings from first grow

- Keep calm and relaxed. If you were sterile at the start and throughout G2G and you know the signs of contam and are not afraid to throw a few out, relax and let the mycelium grow.

- Spawn to bulk ratio can be 1:5 and you will still get a nice harvest.

- In multispore grows a few pins pop through first, looking like a bad pinset, but just wait a few more days when the rest of them come through!

- Your substrate will look terrible after the first harvest, some dropped spores, mycelial blueing, but no worries. Give her a good misting or dunk and wait for another bumper crop a week later.

- Light is important for nice healthy looking mushrooms, a few tubs were kept darker than the rest and the ones kept in the light looked far better.

- Rhizomorphs climb from the casing substrate interface, invade the casing and stop at the surface, looking like a dense matted surface. This is not an issue, the pins will bust from underneath this and burst in abundance, however it is probably better to wait a day or two after full colonization to add a casing as this gives the mycelium some time to switch from vegetative growth to knotting/pinning.

-My monotubs have too small airholes, (6 1 inch holes on each side) this was not an issue for the first flush as I was giving them air exchange manually, but on the second flush I did start to get more of a fuzzy feet issue.

-Sit back and enjoy, it's not that hard!

Definitely agree with the light. My tub was positioned a few feet away from a window, and all the pins bent their heads towards the window. I repositioned the tub closer to the window, then they all grew straight.

Light is good! Makes darker better looking mushrooms too. Weak light makes them pale.
