Yes, i fear so. Have to work tomorrow and i think i'll come back to a black mess.

I know spores don't harm anything but i want to print the f*ck out of this one.

No single spore should be left behind!

Took 5 hours till the veil started breaking then another 5hrs to fully detach, waited another 12 hrs to see if spores would drop and still nothing. Cut off the cap and put it on foil for another 6 hours, finally after no spores I said fuck it and put it in the dehydrator so I can eat it today lol.

Don’t think there’s a right answer, they do what they want anyway.

Should i cut off the stem too and dehydrate it or just leave it on the cake?

A lot of times I notice spores falling onto the veil before it breaks at all, so once the cap has flattened out I'll just flame my scalpel and carefully cut it off in the SAB to print. So that cap in the back looks perfect to me

I hate waiting for the veil to break just to have a light print from the amount dropped before ripping itself.

Best chance of success using a grow bag?  I have a grow bag going with PE.  Its been shaken and is in the process of colonizing.  Its actually going pretty quickly.  Once fully colonized is my best shot for a successful harvest to fruit in the bag or move it to a small mono and add a casing layer then go to fruiting once I see approx 10% coverage on the casing.  Bare with me, I'm still learning.  I sometimes find gaining knowledge this forum is like drinking from a fire hose.  I need a bigger brain

Pics are helpful. If it's an all in one grow bag and you used spores to grain, then it may be microbial.

we need pictures to more accurately assess the situation.

but if the combination is spore syringe or LC that was not tested via agar before inoculation then odds are that there is some form of contamination, you could be lucky and have gotten a clean syringe, but in the case of the former and not the latter (assuming your bag is bacterial) top spawning would definitely be the way to go.

we can give you better advice once we see a pic

My most recent bmr grow I guess I wasn’t so lucky? I took a bunch of caps from first flush expecting spores. Veil was broken for a good while, nothing. I don’t know if it’s just the variety but they would always drop spores a day after veil has broken. Just my experience with bmr though.

How long until sporulating?

I guess 24 hours. Is this correct?

Oh, wow. That was fast. Printing...

Eco earth coir. Is it normal to only need 3 quarts water with the standard cvg recipe? Using 4 quarts water with 1 brick coir, 2 quarts verm, 1 cup gypsum made the sub way too wet. Thinking my tubs are toast after using it.

One brick of coir can vary drastically from another. Mine usuallly weigh between 550-590 grams per block. The recipe I use is 650g coir, 2qt fine verm and 4.5qt boiling water. I use burpee brand coir. Rarely ever have to adjust field capacity.
