He uses 2 gallon freezer but I would think either one would be ok. You may have adjust ratios a tad but it may not be a significant difference. I think one of the beautiful things is you're able adjust up or down as I understand it.

Thanks, and the 16G needle is firm size or would something else work as well?

Im thinking like shoeboxes. I poured a little bit less in water than I harvested in shrooms on my first flush by weight

I dont really look at it that way, I don't measure that.

The issue is sitting in standing water being over saturated. It can get subs really soppy and nasties do really well fast. Cakes last longer since mostly verm, few days they can do the same.

I let my shoebox subs soak for 24+ hours and not had an issue in my experience

I can only guess things like substrate composition and amount of water could play a role .

I can't argue the time since I'm not the most attempts with subs. I do have alot of experience with the bottom water dishes for cakes, from that I am sure too much time in standing water is fatal. Trust Buffet on timing.

Hey guys,

I harvested my first flush on my monotubs yesterday. I do have some shallow craters in the surface of the sub. I heard people say to fill it with coir. Do you think that would be a good idea.

Also, couple other things. Should I pick the medium sized pins /aborts. Lastly, how long does it take to get to the next flush?

Where is the best place to transfer from on a fully grown out plate?

Edges are a frequent spot to catch contams while working so I try to avoid them when I can't see it clearly.

Yeah but why are they invisible? Maybe they just sit on the plastic and wait to be picked up during transfer?

I also started cutting off the outer ring of the plate after some questionable spawn.
