I’ve been using the standard recommendation of 80-8

I like my subs around %70 water %30 coir/verm by weight


I’ve been using the standard 80-83% water substrate that most people on here recommend! I’m definitely going to try your way next round of shoe boxes to see if I can get some better results. Thanks as always for your tips and insights.

For those of you that figure your water by multiplying the coir by 4 or 5 to determine how much water you need, AyePlus’s 70% water substrate means you would multiply your dry coir by 2 + 1/3 or 7/3 or approx 2.33 to get the correct amount of water to add.

It varies quite a bit from brand of coir,, and even a little brick to brick, i buy 20lb unwrapped blocks, thatre very coarse, at one my supplier changed sources and i had to back down from 80% or end up using more verm to get a proper texture.

I mostly run mini monos 1:3, about 3” deep, with a 1/2” top layer for everything but PE and other blobbing varieties i do 1” and I only compress these.

Your results look pretty good from where I’m standing, but it never hurts to run a couple side by sides with clones

I just picked up coir from a different supplier. Crazy how different it is to the other coir I've been using. Just goes to show, not all coirs are created equal. I assume coir that can aspire more water per gram would be considered superior?

That was my thoughts as well behind using hydroponic grade coco...better water holding ability and it breaks up and levels out after being spawned easier as well.  Fuck that ultrafibrous hay sold as pet bedding.

Is it okay to open the box to check on it before fc?


I’m like 8 days in, 80% colonization, opened it for a brief second today

There is no need for separate fruiting conditions. Also, once you've spawned to bulk, sterile technique is over with. You can allow the mycelium to have constant passive air and some light from the get go. If you post pics, people here can advise you in more detail.

Yes. It's old, wrong info that they need to choke in their expelled carbon dioxide to start. They grow fine outside in open air.

They grow well inside if you have them in a box with the lid on upside down, just laying there, lets in just enough air.

There are different ways of lidding them, but that works for me. If they get too tall, put an upside down shoebox on the shoe box (dub tub, double tub)

Though I recommend not touching the grow, even a relatively clean person can have contams on their hands, including Pseudomonas, that can spread to shrooms.

You'll want to touch the little shroomies. Touch them when you harvest.

A word to the wise: treat your pressure cooker with respect. I just burned the shit out of my finger taking the lid off the same way I always have. It wasn’t pressurized or anything, but steam came out and scalded my finger badly.

Just be as cautious as you would around anything with that capability

Good advice. Especially as I'm often not super careful taking the lid off, sometimes taking it off while the PC is still hot. I hope you ran your finger under cold water for a good while after that? Scalding can hurt like a son of a bitch.

had a few grains left over in the bag after mixing in with my sub and I sprinkled a few on the surface. the tub colonized -- WAY -- faster than the other one (same "strain"/isolation) -> 90% vs 40% colonized.

Whats the reason for casing layers?

Also - I'm about to send my first PE variety (trinity). Any particular instructions / recommendations?

Why'd you open the PC while still hot in the first place?

Literally me every time I let the pressure go to 0 and then I’m all pikachu surprised when I open it and steam comes rolling out every single time

You know I’ve done it this way for a year and the steam has never burned me. I don’t know if I’ve just been especially lucky this whole time or if I got unlucky today, but I genuinely didn’t know it was that hot once the lock went down. Figured other people are probably doing the same thing, so it couldn’t hurt to share my experience. Maybe save someone some grief.
