No, you need a little FAE. Slightly crack the lid.

Edit:
Or flip it, yes.

Flipped the lids and it seems the boxes are all soaking wet. These are probably all fucked now.

Assuming it is an actual shoebox with air exchange through the lid, you are correct. I didn't know it was a shoebox. You can flip the lid and slightly rotate it so there are gaps at the corner to further increase FAE if you want, just be careful of it drying out.

Just keep an eye out for pooling water on the surface. If you have too much water it is okay to gently soak some up with a paper towel.

Surface conditions



I had read that it wasnt necessary to flip the lid. That the gaps in the lids gave enough fae

These types of lids

Some types shoeboxes wont allow enough FAE, if you see a build up of moisture you ought to open the container and allow it to air out for a short period, with tubs like this that I have I will return to them on a daily basis, open them, and allow fresh air to cycle through them.
The lids on the containers that don't provide enough FAE (although I don't use different shoeboxes, some of them just hold a seal better than others.) I leave flipped if I can.

I havent been giving them FAE since day one. They're really wet. I tilted to one side and used a paper towel to soak up the water. Still seems like there's way too much water in them. The spawn was clean. Colonized in ~2 weeks from a small wedge. Will they be able to recover and fruit?

I'd say you have a really good chance, especially with the two on the left.

All you can do is let them go and try not to swing too hard in the other direction. I also suspect 3250ml of water may be a bit too much. It's always better to be slightly too dry than too wet.

Did you weigh out your coir before adding water? Bricks are all different weights.

Normally it isn't necessary to flip the lid, at least in my experience. Normally they don't get that wet though.

Yup. 650 g coir. 2 quarts fine verm. I squeezed for field capacity and was concerned it would be too dry if anything. Squeezed with all my strength and only a few drops came out. The 2 on the right were nats, if that changes anything.

That changes things. I don't have experience with Nats personally, but I understand they tend to colonize like that and overlay.

Nats do overlay quite a bit, but it does still look like the mycelium is being dripped on.
My shoe boxes also build water on the lids, and i get paranoid about the large water droplets causing pools on my mycelium and potentially damaging it/ruining my surfaces. Usually once or twice a day, ill take the lid off and shake the droplets off, and if i see any larger water droplets on the walls i get a paper towel to lightly absorb it up (nothing crazy) only the big droplets.

:whathesaid:
That certainly changes things. Nat myc is crazy agro and can look all kinds of ways and still produce fruits. I would just keep on keepin' on with those two. Or flipping the lids might help. Just keep an eye on it to make sure it is not drying out too much.

Check out the Nat thread if you haven't.

I agree with those telling ya to flip the lids, especially the nats. Those target shoeboxes allow less passive FAE than other brands, which is exactly why I love them for dry climates. It might be overkill in your neck of the woods.

I check on them every morning. I have my tubs layed out at where i prep my meds/vitamins every morning. Its my little morning ritual. I flipped the lids on all boxes. Hopefully the water was just on the top. They all look like this from the side.



And yea i did get them at target. Good call. I'm just kind of dumbfounded as to why all the water. I went out of my way to make sure the substrate was on the dry side of field capacity. They just finished colonizing so hopefully I got to it fast enough and they'll be alrght.

Oh my...

Inoculated 10 jars.
Only 2 germinated.
1 molded out.

Wish me luck with the last one. I really need to take a print from this variety.

The safest way to fruit it is?
Ziplock i guess?

I planned to spawn it to bulk in a nano shoebox but i better forget about that i think.

That's looking good. It is just most likely the tub not giving you good fae as mentioned. You'll be fine though. :thumbup:
