Newbie coir layer in shoebox * 1
    #27471359 - 09/17/21 06:46 AM (3 years, 3 months ago)

Hi everyone! 1st post here.. hope I'm doing this right! I have a shoebox that has been brewing for 16 days. I put a layer of Coco coir on top before I closed it up. The mycelium is starting to sprout up through the coir..does this mean its ready to fruit? Does the tub have to be all white?

Many people put their tubs into fruiting conditions day 1 of spawning, if you are using a shoebox you can leave the lid on until harvest or until the mushys get close to the lid, at that point you could use a grocery bag or dubtub it.

It sounds like you're doing fine. There's no exactly right way. Cubes are hard to screw up if you grain isn't already contaminated. I usually leave the lid on until I see the very beginning of fruits. If I'm too busy/lazy I'll flip the lid for a day or two then put the shopping bags on with four small holes.

I'm not sure if that's where you are right now, but in your user gallery those need to be misted because some of the surface is dried.
