Set up a couple of new nat shoeboxes today but my grow room can get super cold in winter and drops below 6 C (~40F) in the night.

I have a spare 60 L storage tub lying around that's big enough to fit both shoeboxes inside. I'm having intrusive thoughts about chucking a heat mat and a wire rack in there so the shoeboxes don't make direct contact and using that to try and keep everything a little warmer.

I'm 90% sure this will do more harm than good but thought I'd check in for a second opinion.

Find a small oil filled radiator and warm the room.

Is 3qts of spawn overkill for a 7qt tub? Should I split it between two tubs or just send it?

You can between 3 7qt tubs. I do 1qt spawn per 7qt shoebox.

Thoughts on this spawn? We left town for a week, and it was oppressively hot in the house and really took off. Probably 85. I think it looks like healthy mycelium, but there are some wet spots as you can see.

Looks fairly bacterial but I’d probably still send it 1:1-1:2

It is a little strange to see that while most of the mycelium has settled though - I usually see it with fairly overgrown LC.

Surely not a Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast, but rather a mycelial mat that bears some resemblance?

I've seen it with cubes and several gourmet species (oysters especially). Does cordyceps more readily float to the top before the LC gets overgrown?

Cheers, I'll see how they go in ambient temps for a while and grab a small heater if I don't see any progress.

how much longer before harvest? they don't look like they'll get much bigger and the big one has a hole in the cap. i don't really know what to make of these poor guys, other than they're super strong.

for context, i had a suspicious grain jar that i buried in a flower pot outside. these are the biggest ones but it's still pinning.

i have these grain jars that i think look ready to bulk. they are 22 days old, a week since the last shake (twice), and i don't see any big signs of contam besides maybe a little moisture? i've seen people call bacteria on similar looking spawn so i guess a separate question would be how you tell, but my main concern is a good ratio.

my first and only other real grow was 1:1 with all 7 in one bin, which i believe to be inefficient. with this, i was thinking 1:2 across 2 bins but i personally think these look fine enough to go 1:3? i am very new to the whole ratio thing. number of bins is not a concern, if it's better practice to spread further i would love to.

more potentially damning context, these are the last jars of my "syringe to grain" practice (forgive me). the 4 were inoculated with a flame sterilized needle. like an idiot, i forgot to for the 3 which is why they are separated. if that info alone brings down the likelihood of success at higher ratios, i would be very grateful to find that out now and not 2 weeks from now.





currently planning on spawning tomorrow. is bucket tek still a thing? idk.

Those fruits are ready to harvest.  Make sure to clean off the mud before you dry them.

22 days to colonize jars that only have 1/4 pt of grain in them is pretty damn slow.  I would go 1:2 at most for your spawn ratio since they are already struggling.  The spikey mycelium is a tell that there's some bacteria action going on...it's not a deal breaker, but it will effect overall output of the culture.  I wouldn't go past 1:2 with those personally.

You can do bucket tek or just add water to the coco to bring it up to FC - it really doesn't matter.

I think the spore syringes I have from some random vendor are duds; can hardly get them to germinate, and others have also reported crap syringes from this vendor.

Am I allowed to ask for spores in the Marketplace if I have none to trade?
