The ones I sent 2 days ago
The first 2 shoeboxes were from the jars that I felt were better.
The last 2 boxes were from jars that I didn’t feel were as strong.

I also made 3 bags. The first 2 were from jars I felt were stronger. The last one was 2 jars I threw in together because I ran out of substrate and I was over it all
Concern with the bags is that I made these with the substrate at the bottom of the bucket and it seemed to be wetter than the stuff at the top. Considering opening them to vent so they can maybe dry out a little

These are the jars from the b+ agar plates I posted before - right before I shook them 2 days ago.
This is the last of the wbs for a while. I’m going to be playing with millet next. I’m also going to be using modified lids and unmodified lids with sfds for the next couple rounds

What brand of WBS are you using, out of sheer curiosity?

It’s been a week since I sent these and I’m concerned. I can’t tell if it’s moisture or if there is mold growing. I’m going away for a couple days so I guess I will find out when I get home

So I put the bins into a giant trash bag since I’m going away for the next 4 days and I don’t want to come back to a big green mess - again…. I figure if it works out - then great. But this looks like what happened last time.
In the meantime - I made 2 batches of millet. The millet is new - testing it out to see how it does. Washed and rinsed before starting.
1. Added to water that had been brought to a boil - then took off the heat. Sat for 20 minutes.
2. Soaked grains overnight for 15 hours.
Drained and added to jars. Pc - vent and then 15 psi for 2 hours.
I am using 2 types of lids - modified and unmodified with a sfd disk under the lid. We will see how it goes. Added lc purchased from a shroomery supplier. So basically I used one syringe of lc and 8 jars. 2 flash boil with unmodified lids 2 soaked with unmodified lids 2 flash boiled with modified lids 2 flash boiled with unmodified lids
I figure that gives me a decent set to test with.

I hope this works out for you. Did you test the LC on agar first? It's usually recommended, especially if you didn't make it yourself.
-------------------- Yeah, yeah.

I guess theyre more scared of contaming thier grow area than of suffocating their shrooms 😂😂, i thought things looked fine. And if its contained in a mono and im scared of mold, i would just move it out of my grow area

Just saw this - the brand is Star. It’s actually quite nice and was working well at first.

I have a small place and it’s hard to get it away from my grow area.
This batch is kind of my control batch since it’s pretty much what I was doing before
This is a picture of a shoebox from last year that went bad. It kind of looked like my shoeboxes now - it had a misty layer on top that turned crusty and white and then turned green. So I’m afraid of that happening again and I don’t want it exploding in my home/grow area.

I figure they are stacked on top of each other but the bag isn’t sealed so air can still move around a bit? I might just have someone take it to their house to watch for the next couple days.

Thanks for letting me know the brand of WBS. As for putting the tubs in a trash bag, please don't do this. To me this is far more likely to cause problems than just leaving them in a bigger tub. Your grow should be fine being left alone for a few days.

In my opinion, it looks quite different to your current grow, this looks like an overlay with a bleach white color and powdery texture, your current grow looks consistently one color.
