Coir get's expensive when you're running 20 shoeboxes or more at 1:4 to 1:6.


Is coir more expensive than verm by volume for you? The places I've looked coir is 5-10 times cheaper by volume than verm, but I haven't looked around too much, and I guess it could be different in different places.

Quick question, maybe:

started these pf pucks since my spores were struggling to germinate on agar. Should I just let them pin as is and take clones? or throw a layer of hydrated coir on top and then clone?  Also have vermiculite as well.

I wouldn’t transfer from a clean clone plate at all.


So just let this plate grow out and put it to grain then clone another fruit when it grows out?

Run it. Then. Select the fruit with the characteristics your looking for in your clone. Take spore samples from said new fruit as well as another clone. Run those spores and keep the cycle going until your consistently getting fruits that look and grow like the ones your wanting.

I hope that made sense. Lol

Alright thanks, I was under the impression that to get a good set of genetics I'd have to start taking transfers and fruiting each one out until I ended up with an isolate. Thanks.

Also I shook the jars at around 10-15% and it grew out to 70-90% in about 5 days

I guess worst case is send it and see what happens if it looks good. My last grow survived going to bulk and it was hella bacterial. I’m doing shoeboxes so there are more chances of getting some fruits

In terms of what you are seeing in the jars, are you seeing the issue only in the shaken jar or both of them?


Shaken jar looks more concerning, but honestly the more I look at it the more I suspect it’s healthy. The myc just doesn’t look as thick as it should be, but I’ve had jars with thin growth do just fine.
It’s not ideal, but you could hedge your bets and go for a lowish spawn:sub ratio. Maybe 1:2. If I suspect a jar is bacterial, it gets top-fruit or 1:1 in box.
Give it a few days and see if it fills out more; otherwise I don’t really see anything wrong with sending both those jars.


Okay thank you for taking a closer look. I looked really hard at the jars tonight and they are looking better IMO. I will give it a couple more days and see how it is.

I did a 1:1.5 on my first grow that was bacterial. Weird thing is that the better looking bag contamed with trich around first flush. The second bag on the other hand is still going a month later and no signs of contam so far. It had a giant pool of water at the bottom and took 2 weeks longer to completely colonize. I thought I’d go south pretty fast but I guess the mycelium had other plans lol.

I guess bacteria isn’t always the worst thing, but definitely a gamble that may or may not work out. Got 1oz dry so far so can’t really complain as I almost tossed em.

After your first break and shake (bag) at 30%, do you expect a clear humid microclimate in the bag during subsequent recolonization?

I notice this in my 2 bags I have running (both have clearly healthy recovery and mycelial spread). I also noticed the same thing on my cordy grows whenever colonization was getting exponential. I assume the myc is squeezing out on the grains and creating it's own humid blanket to fruit from?

Roger. I didn't at first as I was more asking a "is some post break humidity something to just always expect."

Bag 1



Bag 2



The mycelium development is uniform and I don't see any weird patches. The bag 2 pic 1 central grain was always darker from initial boil. Bag 2 picture 2 has a single grain that looks shiney but that's just from the flashlight and touching the bag to it accidentally when moving the bag just now. The dark above the grain line is a shadow not grain or discoloration

Just wondering if humidity buildup in bags (these were on the drier side initially during initial in inoculation and colonization) after the break and shake is typical.

Nocc 4/30 with 7cc clean (agar confirmed) LC, both I believe 3.5lb of oats, break 5/12.

Today is 10 days since spawning for my very first bulk grow using an unmodified tub. I had the lid facing down up until today for colonization and just flipped it for FAE.

Looking for any input.





Bumping for reply. 11 days today no knots yet.


Looks good. Leave it alone.


It was colonized like this by day 9. Today is day 12. How long till knots form? Water droplets on the mycelium are getting huge now. Increase FAE somehow?

I left that one a bit longer while a few more smaller shroomies matured - I usually harvest em when the caps break and for the most part they’re golden with a few possible dark spots.

That one was just excessively dark and it seems like the stem has more fuzz to it as well

I have what appears to be/what I think is a slightly bacterial APE jar. I'm wondering if it is still worth breaking this jar up and spawning to bulk normally, or if I top fruit this thing or spawn it to bulk at a low ratio

it looks fine to me. a bit sweaty but that's not a problem. i dont see metabolites, no discoloration, no creamy thick mycelium... if it smells good like a hand full of fresh  mushrooms and has no sour/sweat/pungent/odd smell i would not hesitate to spawn it.
looks ready
