Quick Question:

I'm newer, so playing with the gap on 2 diff 12qt tubs for FAE. I def had them too open at one point and it dried out a bit, now I'm concerned I overcorrected and over hydrated. They seem to be in good shape (hydration wise) now, but have some stuff I'm not sure if it's contam or just dry mycelium, etc...

Also, since it's now pinning... if this is contam just dump the whole tub? Would the fruits be contaminated in any way? Is it worth still letting them fruit and harvesting them?

Thank you to anyone and everyone that responds! I love learning all of these new things and getting better grows =).

Pics:
TUB 1



TUB2




Apologies for quoting my own post, but it's been a couple days/pages and I think I got lost in the ether. The one box (with visible pins) actually looks like some decent clusters are starting to come in, but I'm still a bit concerned about potential issues/mold ruining the fruits.

Any thoughts would be most appreciated.

Updated TUB 2 Pics (actually looks better since I stopped overhydrating, imo, but I'm just a newb):

From my couch I'm not seeing any mold or nasty stuff, it just looks like mycelium. It's a bit fluffy in spots but that can happen. The slight color is probably from drying out. If you seen this days ago and it hasn't really overgrown your tub by now, you should be fine. To be honest your surface does look a bit dry but I'm viewing it on my phone so I could be missing the micro beads of water. Looking ok so far to me otherwise. :thumbup:

Thanks a ton for your thoughts. I can definitely breathe a little sigh of relief =D.

Help me decide course of action for my friend. He spawned 4 PE tubs to bulk on 1/4, they r 6 at shoeboxes with 1.5 qt of spawn each, I am not sure of the exact ratio but I used 650g coco in 4 tubs. In two of them, he used no casing layer and planned to add a casing layer to them after 5-7 days or 70% colonization. Since then, he read so many different posts/teks discussing the merits of various casing layer and pseudo casing layer teks generally and relating specifically to PE’s to avoid blobs on the first flush and for optimal harvests. On 1/8, (day 4) he added a 3/4” jiffy mix casing layer to one of the uncased  tubs after reading that 70% colonization was ideal, then he planned to keep patching any areas that break through. The first pic is one of two that was not initially cased. The next pic is the twin of the one that was cased on 1/8. Third pic is one of the two tubs with the 1/2”-3/4” casing layer put down when he spawned to bulk on 1/4. He pasteurized some Jiffy mix about 6 hours ago and was hoping for some input. Should he case the uncased tub with a 3/4” jiffy mix layer and leave the two tubs that were cased on 1/4 as is and wait?

Possibly something else entirely? I appreciate any insight. Mush love my friends.

Good morning guy's,


That's a Nats species i break the full colonized Ziplock apart and mix it with 1:1 Ratio of Coir and make 2 Ziplocks from 1 a guy told me that Nats are more aggressive and like 1:4 Ratio so i have know 2 Ziplocks from 1.

What you think how it looks?

Try either turning off VPN or using a different VPN server. Sometimes VPN servers get IP banned from public facing services due to others malicious usage of the VPN server. 

You might also want to try a different browser.

Hey y'all pirates. I've been searching for milo and millet, so far no luck. But the decision was made to learn a lot in the coming months so I tried whole oats and spelt for the first time. When I opened the bag over 25% of the oats turned out to be broken, so you can imagine how that turned out. I prepped the spelt (polished, for culinary purposes) the way I'd do rye. Pretty satisfied, but it seems a little on the wet side. A lone kernel popped. Would like a quick checkup by those knowledgeable. The condensation is due to my kitchen cooling down to about 5* C at night. It's only filled halfway because it only serves as a colonization speed  comparison to agar -> chips.

dehydrating in a convection oven?
I don't have a dehydrator (yet). My oven only goes as low as 170deg. Can I convection cook them at that temp to dehydrate? Or is that too high?

Yeah, fuck oats.

Polished I think means they abrade away some of the husk or hull of the grain. You can see that in the picture. To me it looks a little wet, but that may solely be a result of not having the husk on the properly hydrated endosperm. I would think it could lead to it becoming a sticky mess, and be very hard to break apart. Try it and let us know.

170 is fine. You might have to crack the oven door to let the moisture out. I don’t think an oven vents nearly as much air as a dehydrator. I imagine running a convection oven for 24 hrs would use quite a bit of energy though.

I will try out several (to me) new types of grain. Indeed, most of the hull is removed. I figured that'd probably mean less initial biological load. Not that sticky actually, loosened them 3 hrs post PC cycle. Inoculated with a wedge after cooling. Will report back on how they fared.

I don't see why not.  170 is not too hot.  and it will quickly dry them.

Hey guys, just wondering... I followed FrankHorrigan's guide and it worked pretty well. Had a bunch of mutants. After I picked them, I got actual mushrooms. I want to do this again. Can I use polyfill lids repeatedly or do I have to change the polyfill every time? I injected through the polyfill to inoculate WBS in jars. Thank you!

Are you saying I should pluck him off? Or wait until it matures and remove it then?

You can do whatever you like with him, wait until it matures and pluck it, wait until other pins come and pluck it. Wait until everything is fully grown and pluck it. I don't think it'll make much difference in your output either way.

Would appreciate some advice on some bags of GT/ESS/PE i have going. They were all put to bulk with Coir+Verm+1 quart grainspawn on 15.12 and i cased the PE and ESS (Koh Samui x PE from what i understand) on the 24.12. Until now only one of the GT bags gave me some decent fruits. Most bags have lots of side pins and blobs. Strangely even one of the GT bags seems to be forming blobs although i though thats a PE thing. I flooded the bags with water some days ago to rehydrate and that seems to have helped the ESS to form some normal pins but still not going too well. I also never used these bags before and think they could be getting too little FAE.

Any thoughts or advice?
