SHOEBOXES (UPDATE: LOOKING GOOD!!)
    #27083890 - 12/11/20 11:55 AM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Hi guys just purchased 5 bx 5 litre (~qt) shoeboxes to introduce a total of 5.5lb rye grain spawn into with coco coir

I just received the shoeboxes and see that they have already 20 small holes on each side - Will these suffice for FAE or should I cover up some/make new holes?? I plan on using two boxes, one stacked on the other

THanks so much for taking the time time to read.

Dimensions are: 5 Litre - 13.2x7.9x4.3 inch (33.5x20x11 cm)

In the spirit of shroomery, I've decided to just do tha damn thang:



each 5l tub has approx 1:1-1:2 ratio of spawn to pure coir

2 tubs were dunked for approx 20min to hydrate while the other two were dunked for about 5 min or so (doing a bit of experimenting)


Currently leaving them completely sealed up overnight then will add micropore tape over the 20 holes that each tub has, once its time for fruiting conditions I will add an extra tub onto each one for room for growth, prob completely covering 5 holes on each side and micropore taping the other 10

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!!

Dec 25th: SO I've now made two of them into dubtubs while I let the other two colonize more to see whats more efficient but I'm a bit concerned as theres no condensation showing on the top tub - there's still many small beads of water on the top of the substrate and the other single tubs look very condensated but should I be concerned here, should I add tape around the side of the tubs? I just put two layers of micropore tape but could that be too more FAE combined with the 10 holes on each side?
