Hey all. This is my first grow and used SharperDreaming shoebox TEK.

I spawned to bulk 6/1. Looks good to me so far, but my first grow. How's it looking to you guys?


Thanks

Why would sterilizing jars for mushroom use be different than…sterilizing jars for food?


It's because people leave them on for like 21499343 hours with the heat turned on max and they run out of water. They probably had enough complaints that they put the disclaimer so they can tell people to fuck off when they call to cry about their presto becoming a tibetan singing bowl. The legal cover regarding cubes is just a bonus at this point.

Or I don't know, mushroom growers are just a lot more retarded than canners. :shrug:

EDIT: But I don't understand why the presto is done for just because the handle screw is lose. Just tighten it back? Did you strip the threads or something?

They look slightly off but brf cakes always look kinda weird and I'd still birth them once jar 2 finishes up personally.

Thanks Way, they had a weird growth that didnt look like mycelium at first, but it never spread or grew in the last week or turned colors. So i just put them aside. The mycelium just grew over the weird patch. :shrug:

Probably a really noob question;

But has anyone ever just buried unbroken up BRF cakes in coir in shoeboxes?

Somewhere in between spawning it to bulk and spawning them as cakes?

Is there any con to doing this?


Yes and it works very well. In my opinion much better than breaking them up. Just lay out a couple inches of coir, pack the cakes in like jars in the case they came in (touching at the edges) and then cover with another inch of coir. Big beautiful flushes.


I really like the idea and i want to bury a single cake too.

I bought coir and this mini shoebox like tub (3 litre).

Is that a good size to bury ONE PF cake? (230ml jar for scale)

If I'm using wide mouth jars in PC and will use LC or SSLC what will be the best lid setup? I saw these and do I tighten lid when PC and after inoculation? I'm not making LC with these, these are for the quart grain jars.

Do I need the gasket?

Thanks.

My questions may be stupid but this is my only cake of this variety out of 10 and i don't want to make mistakes.

Need to max out yields in the safest way possible.

Never messed with the screw as I shouldnt have to. Of course I tightened it after the leak begun. Now it just leaks a bit less. Can use teflon tape or glue but it shouldnt have come down to this. I never ran it dry. It always had the same amount of water as I started with after a cycle. Now I dont trust running it though. Perpetually worried about it running dry now.

So I've been thinking about that convo we had yesterday about over-wet shoeboxes. Are there any visual indicators about substrate hydration levels/ evaporation/ fae before the myc has fully taken over the surface? Can you tell if a substrate is too wet before that point? Obviously your field capacity is the last point of reference, but there's still a bunch of shit after than like environmental conditions, shoebox in a mono etc. What are we looking for here exactly?

I opened my lids because it felt a bit wet and swampy in there but I mean I don't really have any real reason to do that. :shrug:

Might be the plastic got deformed or something. Is the screw tight or just spinning? You can put gaskets/o rings and stuff. Shoot presto an email, just don't tell them about the mushrooms

You really should be able to drop your shit in the box at field capacity and leave it alone until harvest without worrying about any of this. You should never mist before the surface is mostly covered, so you shouldn't be increasing the amount of moisture in the box at all and it should remain at field capacity or close to it. It should be getting the same FAE throughout. If anything, I'd expect a shoebox to look more dry rather than wet before full colonization.

His tub stood out to me because I saw no evaporation on the walls at all and how big the drops of moisture were. Every shoebox I have had that is setup right (field capacity and not giving too much air) looked different to his.

Mine usually have small beads of moisture on the bottom 3/4th of the walls or so. Small enough that they dont really run down the sides and pool.The top of the walls and part of the outside of the lid are usually completely dry from proper airflow and evaporation occurring.

The center of the lid can have a lot of moisture on it, but it doesn't drip onto the substrate. If I remove the lid and turn it sideways at all though, water will come pouring off.

I also use taller shoeboxes though, but that is what I have come to notice. Your climate may be different and your airflow could be more or less depending on the box.

You can tell if the sub is over field capacity by the color alone sometimes. Excess moisture everywhere in the tub, water dropping off the lid or walls and pooling on the substrate is generally an indicator that things are too wet and it isn't getting enough air in my experience.

That said, it isn't the end of the world if your walls are running with water and you get some pooling around the outside.  It isn't gonna make the difference between shrooms or no shrooms.

And again, this is my experience. Plenty of other people's shoeboxes look different.

That's the way she goes, boys. Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn't, cause that's the fuckin way she goes.

Appreciate the advice. I tightened the screw. The hole isnt stripped. It got loosened somehow. Shouldnt have happened. Even after tightening though theres a slow leak and now I have to run the stovetop hotter than usual to get to 15 psi. Im hesitant to run a full cycle now as mentioned. The problem will likely continue to worsen.

Kind of flustered about it. Its practically brand new and was not abused or used improperly. Shouldnt be suprised. Everythjng is made cheap and shitty and comes half broken nowadays why should pressure cookers be exempt.

I got money luckily. What I should really do is buy 10 of them, take a sledgehammer or torch to them, then ship them back to presto to let them know what I think about their shoddy products.

Another question on burying PF cakes.

Should i dunk them as normal before burying or is this counter-productive since they get less air while wet and are thus more prone to contamination?

For the record I do live right on the water, and the boxes are not the purple clasped ones you see in the teks. Since wiping it up surface conditions have been spot on. Im eternally in your debt for pointing out what I should have seen myself.

Right, yeah that makes sense. I got mine stacked in 2x2 pairs in another tub, obviously the top ones have a lot more condensation that the bottom ones. Coir is just as black as when I spawned it 5 days ago.

I'm probably just overthinking this, is just that without a full myc cover on the top it's a bit difficult to judge what's going on.
