I use fine grade verm personally. Just enough to get my coir right. I’m not one to measure and weigh  out everything. I approach it like I’m making pancake mix. All eyes and feel so I use the verm to get a good field capacity. Like 1-2 qts per 650gm brick of coir.





Ahh I see, I'll get a more consistent size next time as the bag I have ranges from dust to 5mm or so in size. I might skip pictures for today as I need to open the tubs really to get a worthwhile shot and I really want to avoid opening for now, I'm still terrified of what can happen haha. All tubs including the funky one progressing nice with more mycelium formed on the casing layer and the B+ I'd say is 99% colonized now :grin: Going to open up abit more airflow on the B+ later by removing the masking tape and adding 2layer of micropore tape. Each tub has 6holes but only 2 are breathable at the moment.

Now that they are this far along you don’t have much to worry about contamination wise. Your myc is established. It’s more about maintaining a good consistent  environment in the tubs. I. Going to be picking today. Woke up to an explosion in my stargazer tub. They shot up like 4” over night!

I did hear that but alot of the information I had noted down was out of date. Thanks for confirming that with me :thumbup: Make sure you get a quick picture before you pick them if you can id love to see how they turned out. :mushroom2:

That’s the third flush got the cake I’ve got sitting on the upside down tub. I was going to toss it because I didn’t make it properly to begin with and I was tired of cleaning side fruits off so I decided to just let it sit out like that.

I’ve got side pins on the trays that I did last weekend. Definitely switching up to using liners in the future. Seems like no matter how hard I press the sub down I still get the side pins.

I actually came up with a pretty good method to get them and “abort clumps” clean of substrate. Throw them in the dehydrator, once they are dry I dump them in a shoebox and shake the sub off of the fruit bodies. Sorta like the old school method of getting seeds out of seedy Mexican dirt weed. I ended up with like 60grams dry of super potent shit to grind up in capsules.

A lot if it is genetic. Pro tip for quickly finding genetics that fruit well is to let your petri dishes fully colonize and then clone one of the pins that form.

Does this look like too much moisture? I've not had to mist yet.

I think you're good as long as you don't see distinct pools. Wouldn't hurt to have more passive FAE but if you've already flipped the lid you're probably fine.

Day 8 progression :mushroom2:

After all that fuss over the "funky" tub what people were so adamant was "FUCKED" is doing great so far. Honestly think people didn't read that it was the underneath of the tub not the top.

Yeah it was just a pic with a bunch of weird shadows. I thought it was bad too. Glad it’s working well! The bottom pic is knotting up! Won’t be long now!

I’ve been noticing that when I take pics from a tray that I know is 100%good they can look funky if the pics are off or there is a reflection from something else in my room.

Haha yeah I've seen some funky looking pictures on here and it usually turns out to be something green reflecting in the picture haha. It would be a bonus if the small tub works out as that's made with grain I've prepared and sterilized myself. I will switch to a different grain instead of using brown rice next time though. I did notice the knotting happening can't wait to see the first pins form I think that day will be like Christmas day back in the 90s :grin:

Thanks for popping in "old dad" you been a top mentor. Without you I'd of been stressing so much and opening the tubs constantly causing issues.  :mushroom2:

So here are two trays that I did two weeks ago. 16 days to be exact. I decided to learn for myself why or why not to use a casing layer. Here are the results. Tray 1 cased.
Tray2 not cased.

I believe the jury is out on the importance of casing
