@Kloakk

Did you only use one quart of spawn?
Gonna take a little longer with that ratio of 1:4
Typically we're spawning 1:2



Yes, 1:4+1qt pseudo casing. I've read that with Ochraceocentrata a 1:4 ratio will help with the overlay. It was also suggested by both Beef and LewDoja.

The longer wait is fine by me, but I don't want the surface to dry out, so what I was wondering is, is it normal to have no condensation inside the tub after 2 hours? And if not, should I tape some of the holes in my pw ez dial tub? And thanks :smile:



Definitely tape up the holes....

I'd do all of them and then remove the some of top ones once fully colonized, to help triggga pins.  But it's more about watching the dry ring that will form around the holes, not getting too big.
Dialing in tubs is like a dance.


If you didn't mist the fk out of it give it a good spritz (heavy but very fine mist)

Those look great man! Did you just replace the usual bag with a jar and fruited in a jcm or watertub? Or did you use a tent?



Hey thanks! It's also a wild clone foraged by my house. I sorta winged it and stacked quarts sideways in an unmodified tub, lid askew, balancing max fae with high humidity by misting them when they ask. Pretty much cube tek but on the kitchen counter.

Only passive heating of the room is required, to keep Temps above 65°f.  Don't use a heat-mat.

Optimal 70-78° for cubes pans like a bit warmer.
Below 70 is fine just slower growth.

Freezer tape? Is that like masking tape.

When ever we mention tape it's assumed MicroPore (first aid kit) type.


As HBO mentioned, good job on the perfectly level sub.

Hopefully its compacted really well, too.

And thanks, I did my best to level the sub.

i think its fine to use masking tape until hes fully colonized. tends to keep the top layer from drying out particularly in the winter if theres a forced air furnace.

let me be clear tho, take the tape off when youve got surface coditions set.

How long ago did you "mist the fk out of it"? It seems like it has too much FAE going on because there is a lack of condensation

Yeah, the way I read pw's ez dial tek is that it's giving me options, and I was wondering how I am supposed to know how many holes to keep open. But as I said, I have regular tape and SFD.:takingnotes:

Center holes on long sides. Two bottoms holes on short sides. I use painters tape to completey block air flow in these holes.

I've taped all the holes with freezer tape and there is slight condensation.
