Re: Bag ready to fruit? Suggestions please [Re: starvinghooker]

Hey, all.  Not gonna post pics but wanted to say thanks for the advice.  I allowed the bag to sit for a few more days and it still had plenty of colonization to do.  I'd say it's done at this point with only a couple of inch-long finger-width spots of substrate that don't wanna colonize at all.  The rest of the bag looks quite healthy.

I'm gonna give it four more days to take a good hold before I cut the bag.  So thanks to y'all for the advice.

On a side note, I've been looking into PFTek a lot and I think I'll do that for my next try.  I do have to wonder what rolling this 4lb. block in verm and sitting it in a water tub would do!  πŸ˜†

I'll be following along, I've fruited cakes in SGFC, tub, ziploc. If I have enough to necessitate the water tub I'll use it but I usually fruit in a bag.
You should learn agar; many new growers think it's a road block but I was fluent in it like 3-4mo its super easy. You seem like genuinely invested n i'll try and help u along if i can.

:whathesaid: Agar is super easy to make. The refining one's craft with it does take some time and patience as mentioned, but you can be having fun with clones and stretching a spore syringe to potentially dozens of grows, in virtually no time.

Yeah you will never have to pay for spores again unless you want new ones. Even then you can just trade.

I definitely had planned on investing in some agar cups or disc's after I do some research.

Are these really so simple to make at home?  (Keeping in mind I don't have a pressure cooker)

Thanks for checking in.  I see no reason why I won't be cutting the bag by Monday.  I'd take anything on the positive for a first-time grow.  Whatever happens, you're promised some pics in let's say 7-14 days.

Yall are awesome!

I would suggest reading some of the later comments, as these are old posts and some elements might be unecessary, such as nitrogen for example, but these should do the trick:

Thanks for the links.  Pastys tek seems simple enough. 

Gonna be doing some BRF jars using a PE LCS on Tues, so I'm excited af about that.  Went to wally's last night to pick up some supplies.  Bought two tubs just to get home and realize they were 58 quart size...ha.  Might be just a tad large for a water tub, but I think I'll keep one as it will make a roomy SAB.

Cutting the bag in the morning.  I can smell the bag through the filter so I know it's in good shape. Wish me luck and I'll be keeping y'all posted.

Metabolites

Opened the bag about 60 hours ago.  Since then I've seen a couple metabolites pop up, as well as some yellowing of the myc in areas.  This cannot be good.

Since opening, I've had the bag lightly folded and clipped closed. 

Today, I noticed a good but of water had accumulated around the bottom of the bag.  I'm assuming this is from misting. 

So, question time if you guys don't mind

1. How often should water droplets be evaporating from where I've misted?  I'm not sure that I ever actually saw the block dry to where it needed misting, but being a noob I misted anyway (hence where I believe the water accumulated from).

2. I know metabolites aren't a horrible sign, but what should I do to treat my bag? The yellowing has me quite concerned.

3. Should I remove the block from the bag and put it in a water tub?  If not now, should I try this at some point?
3a. If I water tub, should I rinse this block off and dunk it for a day?
3b. If I water tub, should I roll in verm like a BRF cake?

Hopefully I'm not overkilling yall with questions.  Thanks so, so much for all your help!
