I’m usually 4-5 weeks from spore inoculation to seeing pins in the jar.

Thanks Tao. I know we kinda discussed this over DM already, but I was also wondering…

Say most of my jars were fully consolidated the day before I left to travel for 4 days. Could I put them in the fridge at that point or is it better to slow the process down esrlier during colonization (like now or in the next few days)?

Yes. Stick them in the crisper drawer if you can. It has the most consistent temperature. Things can freeze in the fridge when it cycles.
Now I have to search freezing and thawing mycelium…

Thanks for the advice everyone it's really appreciated.

Those hygrometers are inaccurate and useless in high humidity environments.
You would have better performance with a smaller tub or more cakes to fill up that one and preserve their microclimate; get them near eachother so they don't dry that much... or also, it's not late for something like this Ziplock bags as fruiting chambers
best of luck :biggrin:

NotWimbo: you're still good, mycelium loves burst grains, tender snack



Thanks for the advice everyone, it's really appreciated! I'll move them closer for now and observe. I'll do some reading on the ziploc tek and see if implementing that could help. I was expecting to have a few more cakes when acquiring this tub but the three remaining have been slow to colonize.

Cool. Does it matter if I do it now when still colonizing or if I do it after somewhat or fully consolidated?

I haven’t noticed a difference. I’ve put jars in the fridge right up to having pins in the jars. I don’t birth cakes until I see pins. That’s my indicator for full consolidation of healthy jars.

Hey team

Optimal amount if LC to use per quart of grain? (i searched, some conflicting answers in previous threads).

Seems like some people use .5, some 1. Saw a TC say they throw in way more than that.

Would 1.5 - 2 be alright assuming theres no pooling or what should we go with?

Gracias

It doesn't matter that much. More should lead to faster colonization at the cost of additional moisture.

But I've definitely been stoned and accidentally used a full 10mL with no ill effects.

GT, Jack Frost, SV-10 and Stargazers. I'll take more careful records of which take how long. I've been winging it, maybe time to document my processes, successes and failures. I'm just so damn lazy :blush:

Should I start fruiting this Nats shoebox or wait another couple of days?

We all go straight to fruiting conditions at spawn these days. No waiting needed

Check your shoeboxes for small holes right where your fingers would lift the box. Mine have 5 holes because they were intended to vent stinky shoes.

So I want to clone this fatty side pin but I'm wondering if I should just wait until the top pins are ready to harvest? Thanks!

If that's a tiny shoebox, it's already in fruiting conditions as those buggers get plenty of FAE from their weak little lid (at least mine did in my area). I'd usually leave the lid snapped until I saw knots, then I'd unsnap it so it's still resting on it. You can forget about 'em until fruits are near the top, too. I also liked fruiting them open air when I was home all day. I'd just go in and spray them a bit.

If it's a 16, they usually hold enough moisture to not dry out and be good with the lid resting on top once fruits start coming. The good thing about all of this is that it's a slow process and your sub will tell you how it's feeling so you can readjust if need be.



They're cool with being quadrupled up into a bigger tote, too.

Never grown nats, by the way. I'm speaking from cube growing.

salad,

Clone one of the smaller fruits from that cluster out in front.
