Shoebox in fruiting stalled?
    #28456029 - 09/02/23 01:22 PM (1 year, 4 months ago)

Just wanted someone to chime in on my shoebox of Blue Pulaski Cubensis. Everything looks fine but the fruiting stage (3 weeks or so) seems to be growing at a crawl. The jars looked and smelled fine before spawning it on straight coir. I dub tubed the shoebox and added a few holes covered with micropore tape to aid FAE although I understand that FAE is not a problem with shoeboxes. Oh, I also wrapped the seam between the two tubs with micropore tape to keep contams out.

Anyway, just wanted to get some input with my process. My gut feeling is that I just need to wait it out. I opened the tub for these attached images so if it's an FAE issue then hopefully it's got a fresh dose of air and will become more active. Any input is appreciated. Thank you!

Looks a little dry, but otherwise looks like it's about to take off.

I'd throw a top layer of hydrated coir on there.

Nice job! I see hella primordia going, it is now just the waiting game as stated above, get your surface conditions right and looks like it will explode when it is ready. Nice work. I am jelly lol.

Thanks much, man!!!  When I opened the shoebox for the pics I also took the time to mist it lightly.  If after a week or so if nothing happens then I will case it.  Thanks again!!

Quick question pertaining to my shoebox.  Since our last chat the shoebox has a million of those tiny white dots (primordia) and I see one tiny mushroom forming.  What I am a lil concerned about is what looks like blobs forming that are blue in color.  I thought it was Trichoderma at first because it looked green but it's clearly blue and has formed in several areas.  I know that trich grows fast and this occurrence is moving at a snails pace. Sorry I don't have a pic but I didn't want to break the micro tape seal on the dubtub.  Also, the tub has a very small pool of yellow metabolites on it.  I'm gonna let the tub run it's course but thought I'd get some input on it.  What do you think is going on?

Thanks in advance

Take the tub apart and take some pics.

Why is it even sealed up with micropore?

Just added two pics to the posting.  Thanks in advance.

PS.  The tub smells fresh and looks good to my untrained eye.

I was experimenting.  Just trying to lessen my contam rate after 5 boxes contamed after the first flush.  I had a total of 7 boxes going last year and two had contamed right away and didn't produce anything.  Anyway, I suspected that maybe contamination entered the boxes through the space between the tubs thus the micropore tape to test hypothesis.

Thanks much..

PS.  with the previous boxes I did follow the tek 100% (zero micropore tape)

Oh no!!!  Damn it!!!!  It's growing so slow??  Like no mold that I have experienced in the past.  Recommendation: would you toss the box and start over?

I personally have enough going to not keep it around,  but if you need fruits keep it outside if you can
