No horses in your area?
I think people have had success with pans on coir before, but iirc yields were sub par

I found it at a feed store. It was in the bird seed section. Just a white bag that says white millet on it. I get oats from TSC.

So I know you guys do the measurements by volume. So I just wanna clarify. I put 1 lb grain spawn into the quart jars. it occupied around 2/3 of the jar. If you want to do 1:3 ratio of spawn to bulk sub, that means 1 x 1 lb grain spawn + 3 x full quart jar of bulk sub.

1 unit of bulk sub is = to 1 full quart jar of bulk sub
1 unit of grain spawn is 1 lb of grain spawn

correct?

A brick.

The last ones seemed a bit small, but it's been awhile since I bought a brick. I should have weighed it, but I'm sure even a slightly larger brick wouldn't take too much longer to colonize.

A full quart of oats weighs 13 oz at my house. How did you get a pound into a quart jar?
Did I misunderstand?

I haven't been able to find a good price on millet recently. The $40 50lb I bought in 2019 is just about out and the same bag is now $100. I just switched to WBS because of that. It seems to be doing well. It doesn't seem to colonize as quickly after shakes though. You may need to look further from home. How close are you to agricultural land? I was surprised at how many feed stores there were when I started looking. I have multiple feed stores and even a grain mill in my area. Tractor Supply is great, but the local feed stores are cheaper.

What is a normal amount of time for agar-to-grain to fully colonize? I'm at 6 days. There is growth but it's not close to complete?

How long is a piece of string?

It's not really a set time, there are many factors that can influence growth.

A good healthy culture can colonize a jar in around 10-12 days if you go heavy on the transfer or lc.

A2G can take quiet some time, if your jar is at 6 days since inoculation it's perfectly normal that it doesn't achieve full growth yet.

About 2 weeks. A little shorter if a big piece is used, a little longer if a small piece is used.

You still have to shake at the right times though.

I would like to clarify some contradicting information.

So we have a lot of set and forget teks which more or less claim that you don't need fanning or increasing FAE to initiate pinning. There's also a guide into misting and FAE which more or less advices the same thing which is you only increase FAE once pinning starts. However, this is contradictory to the youtube video I saw that advices growers to fan their tubs at 100% colonization to initiate pinning.

So I guess my question is, do I really need to do fanning to initiate pinning? or does set and forget alone is enough to initiate pinning? and FAE should only begin after I see pins?

FAE is introduce immediately after spawning to bulk. I’ve never fanned any of my tubs and they pin just fine. The amount of FAE can be controlled by tapping up or untapping holes in your tub. I use pasty’s ezdial tub set up and for me there basically set and forget until the first flush.
