Bucket grow, ran out of sub, need alt
    #28438479 - 08/18/23 06:18 PM (5 months, 7 days ago)

So I got my lions mane grow going in my bucket but somehow underestimated how much substrate I'd have when hydrating my wood pellets and now there's a bit of a gap at the top of my bucket.



I'm trying to figure out what to throw on top so it doesn't start making fruiting bodies in that space and instead grows out the holes drilled on the side.

Here's a few ideas I have:
1. I have some cardboard packing lying around that I could rip up and fit in that space.
2. I have some leftover CV sub from my cubes I spawned to bulk the day after.
3. I leave it and see what happens...???
4. I break down and get more wood pellets to fill it in.

It's been colonizing in my basement for 5-6 days because I got busy this week and forgot about it until now. Would love some advice from more experienced growers. Thanks!

You could throw coir on top but personally I would just let it go and make sure the fruiting conditions are good. That will promote fruits growing out the sides rather than on top. If it grows some fruits on the top pick them before they use too much of the energy.
