I would never advise anyone that light isn't necessary. For our purposes it makes sooo much of a difference. Inadequate light makes shrooms look shitty. If you put a fully colonized sub in its side with one side facing the indirect light source and the other facing away you will see better pinsets on the light facing side and significantly less on the side thats getting less light.


I completely agree. I never said lighting isn't necessary. The point I was trying to make is the details of the lighting do not matter too much. 12 hours vs. 8 hours doesn't make a huge difference for hobby-scale growers.

It's 1/3rd less light.

But yeah, it depends on your goals I guess.  It's not going to make or break your grow but it might be the difference between a lush canopy and a sparse one.

I always had the best results with 12/12 light.  Nothing special, just enough that everything fruiting is in some light.  An outlet timer is a great thing for hands free light managing.  The fungi appreciate the regularity.

I just did my first agar to grain transfers the other day. The agar wedges are now sitting on top of the millet. The wedges are really starting to “fluff up” and I can see that the mycelium is starting to grow from the agar into the grain.

Here’s my quick question… Should I wait for “30% colonization” before shaking, or just wait until “a few dozen grains” have been colonized? I’ve seen both methods suggested here at Shroomery, but I’m not sure if one or their other is outdated.

Six of one ....you could give it a little shake and distribute some grain around, or you could wait till it's ??% colonized. If it was mine, I'd have roll/shake. I like to fiddle...

Mine always do better when I leave them alone and shake at 30% and once again at full colonization.

I also always hunt with my grandpa's lucky red hat, and I don't ever bring a banana on a boat.

An agar wedge dropped on top like that I would let colonize about ten or twenty millet and then shake the hell out of it.

I often shake spawn early though and then again at 70% to see how it recovers (contam check).  But especially with millet or other spawn with a lot of inoculation points I like to shake early.

How's this tub looking? 5 days since spawning. Also I have a concert on the 17th. Do you think they will fruit by then?

It’s great being part of a community.
Exposed to the public. This comment would sound like nonsense.

I perfectly understand what this means and I think that’s pretty cool.

You wait until they stop growing. I always snapped a pic in the same spot each day to compare.

It looks good. You might have some fruits by then but generally tubs will consolidate for a few days after full colonization so it's going to be tight. Keeping temps of the room above 70 may help increase your chances. Just try to avoid hitting 80.

No heating mats. Heat the room not the sub.

Probably not. You may see pins by 12 days since spawning.
