@Guerrilla: I simply put the jiffy peat into Ziploc baggies and make them flat. Wieghted down fill with water and bring it up to 155° with a thermometer. Leave the corner of the bag open so the air can escape that way they don’t keep trying to float. If that ends up happening and you get water in your bag do not panic it is a simple fix. You just have to squeeze it out to field capacity again. Pasteurize at this method for two hours no less than 90. Hopefully somebody out here will correct me on the time if I am wrong. You can always search it for the correct time.

have you checked my tape tek? I use mostly EZ style tubs these days but the tape tek is great for PE because you can adjust the FAE to the mycs likings. link in my sig
Thank you for the encouragement. I just did those metal vents as an experiment. I bought a package of 24 for cheap on Amazon. I bought clear packing tape over the holes in the beginning and once I begin casing I take off The clear packing tape and stick my pre-micropore taped rings in the holes! The only benefit is it saves on buying a $10 roles of tape Because you can reuse it the taped metal rings. However I am always open to suggestions and learning new things so I will check out your easy tape. Here is a much clearer picture of my PE tub. Ironically and once again my worry was all for nothing. Last night I was concerned that nothing was going to happen and when I took the picture this morning I noticed some pins and some small caps forming. Thanks again brother.

Looks like there’s prob too many holes but it would be cool if you could put two of those metal disks on top of each other, and then gradually spin one to open or close the holes like spice shakers have.

Best way to pasteurise casing without a bucket heater?
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/27177370
The method he outlines is great for smaller amounts. If you need a lot at once what I've done is stuff oven proof turkey bags full of casing, stick a meat thermometer into the center and stick that into a 23qt Presto filled with hot water and let it pasteurize. This works for me because at the lowest flame on my stove the water doesn't go above 165F, so, your mileage might vary but it's pretty simple.

masking tape is super cheap. I leave it on the tubs for multiple runs until it gets gross or comes off when Im cleaning them.
nice earnie! I think I see some pins coming in

I bought a sous vide for pasteurizing. Makes it incredibly easy to maintain temp.
I was using gypsum and lime in my tubs, might be to mich nutrition cause most of it is blobbing.

you used gypsum and lime in the substrate or the casing? lime raises PH and gypsum is a buffer

I got my casing down packed. Used it in the sub as well. Figured it would give myc more of a head start and give it extra nutes, probably a bad call on my end.

you don't need lime in the sub. its used with peat casings because peat is very acidic. honestly Ive never tested the acidity of coir. it has lots of salts in it tho

Lol there’s a huge argument on the weed forum I go to right now about whether or not coir is inert
Here’s the end of flush one or 1.5 with the weird orange caps. I prob pulled a third before remembering to take a picture.
  
Definitely never had this pheno before. The most potent PE I ate looked close though so I’m always biased towards smaller skinny ones 
Now to find a test subject.
Came out to 126.5 dry including the earlier fat ones so better than I thought.

The problem is they call it coco peat and coco coir, sometimes you buy coco peat that is not inert and you also buy coco peat that is just coir.

Just gypsum, the ph of a substrate was 5ish when tested. I was bumping it to 8-9ish. I might try no gypsum or lime for a few tubs and see if the blobs subside a bit. I've been using 5 lbs of rye to 8 qts of sub so it may be way too nutritious.

There is micropore tape over the holes on the metal inserts. Two layers. So it’s no different if I just have micropore tape over the cut out 2 inch hole. The only purpose of the rings is so I can reuse them. I start the tubs off with clear packing tape covering up the 2 inch holes and once I go into fruiting I put the inserts in with two layers of micro four on the bottom ones and one layer on the top two. After harvest I popped them out wash out the tub. Spritz down the rings with alcohol, and repeat with the next grow. Check out this one particular fruit I got on my second flush. I am now part of the 100 club! Hooray!!

@Ted.... you are correct sir I got a ton of pins coming through I think I’m going to have an awesome first flush

Nice dick bro 
Don't want to start a whole thread so I'll just ask here: is growing PEU/APEU more similar to growing PE or regular cubes? In terms of a casing layer etc

Sure did. Just like you taught me. This is actually from a second or third flush. I just have a couple of random‘s popping up. This was the first one that reared it’s head 10 days ago or so. The funny thing is is the same time I got a strange fruit. I actually posted it on my other page asking Fahtster about it. This is not a PE mushroom or is it. It came out of the same tub as that giant.

At Benson: i’m not sure. I’ll save that question for the pros. I’m sure one of these other guys will surely answer you with the correct answer. Too many of people on here answer questions they have no business answering. In my opinion it comes down to ego. There’s nothing wrong with saying...”I DONT KNOW!” LOL. I would much rather tell somebody that I don’t know the answer they give them the wrong answer and jam them up.

Sometimes PE will “revert” to a normal looking fruit.. happens will most PE varieties. Had these guys pop up in a second flush PE tub.
 There’s a chance it’s another varieties’ spores getting into your agar from them floating around in your room but most likely just a “reverted” pheno

One tub threw some crazy large ass mutants


This was the coolest looking one by far.

I love it! Now that’s one mutant Ted! Now that I know how to grow them properly I won’t care if I get some mutants. I actually like slicing them up into chips and drying them. I served them as a joke. My first tub that I grew when I found you here I had a slew of mutants. So I sliced them up with a knife and they look like thick potato chips after drying them. So I put them in a big bowl and put them out for snacks, saying… “Chips anyone???” Lol. I guess you had to be there. So here’s a picture of that tub that you commented on saying… “I’m starting to see a lot of pins Ernie.” And I also had a shoebox going on the side. I’ve learned that I don’t like growing things in shoeboxes. It could be just me but I find it hard to maintain the proper surface conditions because of how shallow it is in relation to the top of the boxes opening as opposed to a deep tub where the moisture stays there at the bottom, on the surface, where it belongs . Does that make any sense to anyone? The only way I got THIS shoebox to start pinning was I put bubble wrap down for a few days and it worked like a charm either that or it was just a coincidence in timing.
 I’d say I have some pins coming in now! All that worrying for nothing. I really need to work on my patients, especially if I want to continue growing penis envy. Someday I’ll be able to have them all come in evenly and at the same time. I haven’t quite figured out how to do that or if it’s even possible.
