Interesting.
Eco earth is all I've ever used, but I've never had a mold issue that wasn't ties to bad spawn.

Also, i never measure shit, just eyeball field capacity



I bought a bunch of eco earth years ago that I was slowly using up. I had no problems with it. I always used 4.5mL of water to each gram of coir. Always came close enough to field capacity. I moved and bought another bunch of eco earth and immediately had issues. Lots of moldy tubs. Had to titrate down to about 3mL of water per gram of coir to avoid making soup. Heard everyone tell me mold is always from the spawn, but I’ve been doing this a long time. I know what sketchy spawn looks like. Started PCing bags of coir as an experiment and all my mold problems disappeared. Water retention was not what I liked, so I tried canna coir. Now I’m growing like I used to. Bucket tek my coir with 4.5mL per gram. Big fruits, no mold.

Eco earth can suck it.

I got a brand called 'BEST COCO PEAT' because it's the best. Says so right in the name. It's only coco coir though, no peat. So maybe it's not actually the best either.

how do you all transfer plins? just stab them with a scalpel? tweezers? do you worry about the extra bits of myc that are stuck to the bottom?

Scalpel and tweezers. Scalpel alone is fine but tweezers are nice for stringy fruits and removing the cap and base to get a true clone.

“mycena subcyanocephala“ native to Taiwan.

They’re blue so obviously magical.
Who is going to hunt these down and spread the spores around?

I'm convinced that the issue I'm having is with the oats I'm using and it's not something else. Idk wtf it is. I buy my oats at TSC. I followed Bod's guide (this is my third try, second try I thought I was being too annoying).

What other grain teks do people use? When I looked for WBS at TSC, all of it had sunflower and cracked corn and peanuts

Ten days after inoculation, nothing is happening. I have a grow bag which still shows signs of humidity. It's on a high shelf with indirect daylight only. Is it unusual to take this long?

Lots of people have issues with those producers pride oats. Try a different grain. I suggest pennington classic wbs from petsmart. 24 hour soak 15 minute simmer

Or you can waste months trying to get them to work and never succeed, like I did.

I have been using Mother Earth, Coco Bliss. 50 liter bag. Just because I had it from my summer gardening. So far no issues. Same amounts as the brick teks.

It's been two weeks and I am just barely seeing a quarter sized mycelium growth in my grain bag. Ambient temperature is between 60-72freedom units so I am not sure why this one is stalling so much. Do I just let it go?
