Thank you, I'm just happy it fruited. Only other experience was PF cakes back in 1999 or maybe 2000.

I can be a little obsessive and meticulous, so I studied and studied until I was sure I had it down. I got a ms syringe grew it out on agar to make sure it was clean, took myc from agar to make LC and then used the LC on rye berry quart jars. Waited for 100% colonization and spawned to 50/50 coir verm with a bit of gypsum and waited.

Awesome. My previous grows also were a couple PFs in the late 90's/early 2000s. But I came back and did the updated PF first. Working out fairly well and my first bulk attempt from mss->agar->grain is in process with agar going and some grain jars colonizing. You are an inspiration. Well done!

Thank you, I appreciate it. I was doubting myself most of the way through and I had to really practice patience. If in doubt search and read until you're sure and then do your best to follow the directions of the growers that know. If we mess up look at it as a lesson learned. Good luck on your project, I hope it turns out well for you.

Just be sterile, take your time and don't cut corners and you'll do fine. My 2nd tub is starting to pin right now. I'll throw some pics in soon.

Amazing for a first time mono grow!! Iโ€™m pretty sure gypsum is outdated info for cubes, but if it works it works I suppose.

Tub #2 Purple Mystics

I attempted a no liner because I read a tek that if surface conditions were right you didn't need one. Live and learn, I'll be using a liner from here on out.

Compacting down your substrate and making sure it is tight against the wall of the tub is the best way to prevent side pins without a liner. Also keep in mind every time you move the tub you flex the walls of it and create small pockets of air and moisture perfect for sidepins.

After flush one, I always get sidepins without a liner though.

Nice grow :thumbup:

I didn't pat it down very hard on the sides, I did pat the whole thing down gently and level out the sub. That's good info, I'll keep that in mind on the next tub. Get a little bit better each time. I isolated the most vigorous growth on agar through 5 transfers. I have oat spawn in the incubator now, hopefully I'll hit the genetic jackpot.

I push the sides down with the tips of my fingers hard enough that they start to hurt and water starts to come out of the coir. Ill also push out the side of the tub a bit when im doing it. Works great :thumbup:

Good luck!

Best of luck, I hope you get some massive flushes. My 1st tub the mushrooms were pretty small, I had too much FAE and dried out the substrate a bit. I did better on the 2nd one. Learn as you go.

This is the best advice a new grower could ever get. You should make a sticky out of it with a handful of tek links below it

I've got shoe boxes figured out pretty well at this point. Going to use a 32 quart un modified tub to start though I may do the pasty white ez tub technique if I run into any issues

Time to bust out the drill!  Ooo, or better yet, heat a 1/4 inch bolt with my induction sterilizer and burn the holes in the tub. I've got to see if that'll work!
