Wet substrate

Bought some surfin spore substrate mix on Amazon and followed directions of 14 cups boiled water in 5 gallon bucket. Cover. Wait 90. Mix. At 90 minutes it’s still damn hot as I mix. Once mixed I can squeeze drip drip water out of it. Maybe too much water?
Should I wait 24 lid on and by then will it have less water upon squeeze? 💦 or do I go to the nursery now to mix something in while it’s still warm to absorb?

If it is too wet you can add vermiculite to dry it up a little.
A few drips when squeezed hard is really what we are looking for though.

Ok will do. When I squeeze it, it’s a weener dribble.

It’s one on Amazon. It makes 10 pounds. So I’m doing 5 pounds w 3 pound spawn of Bluey in a 66 montotub. 5 pounds w 3 pound spawn pe w casing layer. Maybe casing on Bluey not sure. Still investigating casing layer.

Better edit out vendor names and links. It's against mushcult rules.

For future grows, you can just use plain coir, or coir and verm and it's a lot cheaper, like less than half the price, and produces consistently good results. What you bought is basically that already but with some gypsum added, which doesn't really do anything for cubes anyway. I hope your grow goes well.

I also bought CANNA Coco Brick 40l Expandable Natural Plant Medium Soil Substrate, 40 Liter Expanded - 8 Liter Dry Is that the same thing? Looks like it expands to massive amounts where I could start an orchard of shrooms.

we shall see. first attempt. all youtube and you peeps guiding my hand. 
I inoculated bags on 5/23. PE growing slower than Bluey. but now they are all white. Break Shake x2.
I freakin have four bags but will wait another two weeks until I substrate the other two. I don't have room. I hope they don't go rotten or turn me into a mushroom zombie as I sleep.

Can I just add vermiculite to that pasteurized 10 lb mix straight out of the bag until I reduce the weener dribble to a subtle few drips?

Well the supposed substrate I bought that says it comes out to be 10 lbs. I was planning to split it to two 3lb spawn bags but my first PE mixed with 5lbs only came up to a little more than an inch in a 66qt tub. So I added another 2.5 lbs of sub to get it to 2 inches and will add another inch casing of just coco coir asap.

Daylight spectrum - between 5000K and 7000K, 6500K is common. Normal ambient light is fine too, if there's a window where the tubs are at. They aren't plants, don't require much light and it's not a major pinning trigger.

Should I case my penis now?

It is considerably thicker than my Bluey V. Does Bluey need casing?

Both were spawned to bulk on 6/18/23

You can try casing it but most often with PE, as I understand that's done when you spawn to bulk, so I'd recommend getting a second opinion from someone with more experience of PE. Other than that, I'd recommend only misting as needed, not on a schedule. And patience. Patience is, for many it seems, the hardest part. You'll get there.

? It is already spawned to bulk. yes, at the start I put a casing later, and it's recommended to do another once colonized, was wondering if it is time to do so.
