what brand coir are you using? or is it a generic bulk brick?
some brands can hold more than others

i usually start around 4x and if i need to add more i will

a lot of people will omit the verm and wonder why 5x makes it soupy lol
i havent ever really had a coir good enough that held 5x without verm

i use 4.44x for cannacoir brand right now currently and no verm
i used to use eco earth and that only holds 3.5-4x water

i also prefer my coir a little on the drier side than overly wet.. ymmv


Coco Bliss.  No verm.  And thank you.  Yeah let's use a little Common Sense folks definitely going to be soupy without the verm But I feel like he had Verm his recipe when he saying that.  But he did it both ways so I may be wrong.

Hi! So, sorry if this is too long, I just wanna be thorough, but here’s the story so far: I had my first two successful colonizations with some all-in-one bags. Same genetics, liquid culture, but one bag definitely colonized a bit faster than the other, though both took months even with breaking and mixing. Inoculated 8/1/24, but I had to travel a bunch Nov-Jan and put off fruiting until about a week and a half ago. Seems like that may have been a mistake.

From what I’ve read, I’ve definitely got a lot of overlay on the cakes, but I did the recommended hoodie tek anyway, leaving them each in a slightly propped open dub tub of shoeboxes. Didn’t have rubber bands, so I tied them with twine, which didn’t work because both bags got a bunch of side pins. The fast bag kept growing and I felt bad for the side pins so I cut the bag off and put some wet perlite and a sheet of foil in that dub tub. It has been producing prodigiously all week, and I’ve been harvesting as they mature, still first flush, and still no fruits in the middle top of the cake, but a ton everywhere else. Still in a dub tub, spraying the top tub a couple times a day as it uses it, and that cake is doing great.

The other bag is still in the bag hoodie tek style in its dub tub with nothing else. I’ve been spraying and fanning, indirect light, room is 70-72 all day, same conditions the other bag was in before I cut the bag off and just stuck it in the SGFC with the foil and perlite. There are still a bunch of pins around the edges and on the sides, and even new pins showing up, but they’re just not growing much. Don’t look like aborts either, as far as I know. I’ve added a pic, and I’d appreciate any advice or guesses on what’s going wrong. Should I fork tek the overlay part? Should I cut the bag off and do the same perlite/foil that I did for the other one? Is it too dry? Too wet? I took the top tub off today and just left the hoodie, and there does appear to be more evaporation happening, and a few more pins, but no big growth. Is it maybe fighting contam or something? I have no idea. Thanks!







I would look into a water tub instead of the sgfc. Those are outdated nowadays. Water tubs are simple and easy and we'll do the trick for you. It's hard to tell in the pic because of the lighting but if all of those side pins have black caps then they are aborts.

Also that sounds like way too much misting


Also it might do you some good to check out this thread by beef about "rescuing your all-in-one bag". He offers good advice on is willing to help when you are in need.

Is it normal for semps to be really slow colonizer?
I have received a sample on agar a while ago that I have decided to send to grain. It did colonize 2 grains while my ATL snowman did colonize 50% of its jar!

Ive heard it's luck of the draw. You came either getbsome that move relatively quick.  Or you get the ones that take a looooong time.  Seems to be that slower is more common tho. However I have never grown them.So this is just what I've been told. 


"The semps are reporting back at 1-13 days till germ. I've had somethings take up to a month (older spores)"
-lewdoja-

I know that's only talking about the germination time but gives a an idea about their speed at least. 

Ive got some going on agar rn as well they took 5 days to germ and 7days to grow out a just enough to take some tranfers. 

I'm not too sure about actual colonization speed. But I have been told you could be looking at a good month or two from Spawn to harvest.

All I can say is it's certainly slower to pin but my plates n grain have been average

Has anyone tried the "buffered" coco bliss.




As opposed to coco bliss "premium coco coir pith"



I never noticed they had one that was buffered.


This is what buffered means


100% Buffered Coco Coir for Plants - Our coco coir block has been pre-buffered to cut down excess salts and stabilize pH levels, saving you the time and hassle of buffering it yourself. This enhances nutrient availability and soil balance, making Buffered Coco Bliss an ideal soil amendment for indoor plants, outdoor plants, and more.

Does it make a difference?

Nice.  I just received mine as well from another member. Actually I've got two different cultures from separate members. Hopefully they are quick like yours. that would be nice.

In my experience semps will colonize just as quickly as cubes. Once you reach full colonization is when they slow down. Time to pin is usually longer than cubes, and mushroom growth is much slower than cubes.

Any thoughts on my current sub conditions?



Rye grain spawned at 1:2 ratio with FC coir 2 weeks ago.

Bottom left is some exposed grains. I compacted my sub as much as possible and tried to make it even. It wasn’t until I had applied a pseudo casing and looked from the sides that I realised the sub was NOT even 🤣 so I tried to redistribute the top layer which ended up in some exposed grains 😅

Second pic is showing a small amount of what I assume to be myco-piss localised in one area.

A quick update on my two recent "problems".

This was not mold, early Ochra mycelium breaking the surface.


It colonized fine, well except for overlay.. Picture below was not trichoderma.


It was matted mycelium from drying out. The green color was actually blue so bruising.

I removed the overlay and gave it a good mist.



The mold tub today.


The trichoderma tub today.



All in all I am pretty happy with where I'm at, the overlay is back with a vengeance, but there is no going back now :muppet:

To everyone that helped me get this far I really appreciate it and I love this community.
:seriousthankyou:
