poop chute said: Hello! I've got a tub of GT that started pinning 4-5 days ago. Based off size I'd say they aren't ready but the tallest (2 inches) has dropped it's veil already. I've only ever grown nats successfully after reading the entire 500 page nat thread but to my understanding most cubes should be harvested shortly after the veil drops. Am I mistaken? Also I'm thinking I need more FAE because of the fuzzy feet so I might need to drill a couple holes.

The spores dropping will make things look less pretty and the mushroom will mostly gain water weight after the cap opens. It's interesting though because my GTs broke veil while they were still short too.
It's been posited that spores on the substrate might be some kind of signal for the sub to "reset" and go back to colonizing / consolidation but I've never personally witnessed that to be true and I don't think anyone who's been in this hobby a while really has any strong feelings about that opinion anymore.

So by waiting I'd only be gaining water weight/size?what about potency? I'm not personally concerned about some spores on my fruit.
Thank you for your insight!

I wait until the caps start to curl. The amount of actives, if any, you’ll get by letting them grow any after spore drop is negligible so just harvest when it’s convenient for you any time from the veil tear to cap curling up. Soon you’ll have more shrooms than you know what to do with anyway.😉

Hello - first time grower here. Long story short, my BRF cakes never started fruiting so I broke them up in coco coir and trying to spawn to bulk. Just wanted to make sure everything looks ok so far? This is about a week in.

Hi, if I wanted to experiment with different genetics from the same MSS, how far back would I have to go to properly re-roll the genetic dice? I'm currently fruiting a 2nd transfer from MSS.
Would I have to go back a couple of agar transfers, back to the first plate from MSS, or even back to the original MSS?

dasteptderbar said: I have my first monotub pinning right now and there's a lot more pins on the sides of the substrate than on the top. Substrate was at field capacity at spawn and I found myself having to mist this often as the beads of water on the surface didn't stick around for long. Can too much airflow cause sidepins? It seems logical when the shrooms are mostly growing in the areas of the tub with less airflow.
I'm using a pasty white style mono (small holes) but the tubs we get over here are really shit and the lids I suspect let in a lot more air than the tubs others on here work with. I think I'll try a completely unmodified tub next with the lid on correctly and adjust as needed.
Cover the holes with micropore or shut them completely. Always start unmodified to learn about your environment. Sidepins: Mix the substrate thoroughly, especially sides and corners. In addition to that use a liner. Care for this then. They grow where proper conditions are given, well balanced moisture is very important. For that you may add more substrate = more moisture. What's your ratio mate?

when adding weight [due to high altitude] to the weight [on a 16qt presto pressure canner with gauge] to operate at 20 lbs instead of 15, are there any tips as to how to perfectly center the added coin or coins?

Trial and error worked for me. Also I use foil and wrap the coins on top. That way you can still do minor adjustments after the fact

Danke für Ihre Antwort 
I think it was four 3/4 full litre jars of oats to 400g of coir. I've covered some of the holes for now will see if the second flush pins better

Where you guys buying plastic 100mm petris on bulk? Like 500 or more for best bang for your buck? Usually use condiment cups but I feel like the growth is restrictive honestly and results in too many transfers and too often as well. I’d rather transfer less often and just let them hang out till they pin.
Also interested in glass petris in bulk as well

 I can recommend. I’ve ordered from them several time. Have yet to have a broken dish and they are good and solid. Not crappy easily cracked garbage like I’ve gotten from the zon.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I found these in a post from either Hillbilly or Smelly. I've gone through about 80 plates so far and they been good to go.
