I just rub the swab up and down the gill while also rotating the swab. It usually turns the swab a light blue color. I may have a picture. If you are unsure about it test one on a plate. After you do it a few times you will get the feel of it.

First of my new cakes colonized are were soaking overnight, the uncolonized looking parts are actually stalled Bisporus, I later injected cubensis mycelium to see if they could salvage the cake, and fight against Bisporus. There seems to be peace.

These are cakes made with coco coir instead of vermiculite.



Last cakes I did, I top fruited them. They had a layer of coir towards the lid, and they pinned on that. Best cakes got me 140g wet I think.



Since I top fruited, I didn't bother coating them in verm or powdered coir last time. I'm wondering what to do this time. Would these cakes be happier if fruited on the lid upside down? And would you put a layer of vermiculite or coir now when I'm spawning? Is verm objectively better for rolling cakes?

I mean I suppose I could just do one of each and see the results.  I'd like to know what your recs for optimal output. I also plan on doing a water tub and leave them on top of the lids, although that might not be tall enough compared to just having the plastic container underneath.

Pan cyan in a shoebox. I was told this was TTBVI. Should I harvest them now or can I wait another 12 hours or so to harvest them?

Does anyone take their tubs outside for light? Obviously putting them in direct sun for a while can’t be good but I have a porch where I can get them good indirect sun.

I just leave all my tubs on the shelves and table in the room with regular sunlight coming through the window and let them be. Only time I mess with the tubs is if some tubs are dry and need a misting, or if I need to fix FAE. It's rainy season here and it's been very cloudy and dark during the day so it's not as bright in the room but my cubes are still doing good. I don't notice a difference with my cubensis grows

How do we know if they need more FAE? Was using a shoebox tek and am just using the sterlite boxes with the lids on but not tight/latched.

Also doors this agar look contaminated. Looks decent except for the off colored rings. Could just be lme?






Thanks again for any advice.

I’m not sure what you’re seeing but this looks like normal growth to me

Looks good. Actually very good, especially for starter grow.

Hard to see rings well, I see two, one near edge, one near center, but rings in agar can be normal from temp variations during grow. Harmless.

Flip lid upside down, should be just enough to be right.

Sometimes if not enough FAE, shrooms can get tall and skinny (like they "think" they're under leaves, and trying to reach the air)

But tall skinny can also be just how some shrooms are.

"Fuzzy feet" (mycelium above ground as a little skirt where the shroom meets the sub) can be a sign of low FAE too, but can also be genetic.

There's an argument that fuzzy feet is a good thing, mycelium contains more natural MAOI than shroom itself, and that can extend / strengthen a trip. But if it is there, it's very minor amounts.

Any light will do, they're not plants. I have an LED tube of 6500 k light on a 12 on 12 off timer, but I've seen shrooms grow well with any light.

Light doesn't have to be as close / bright as with plants.

"Shrooms, like people, will grow in darkness, but will be twisted and wired without light."

Thats too much airflow in my dry environment. The best amount of fae is the most you can give without drying things out

Do yall think I should toss these?

They’re like a month old. The two look pretty much fully colonized except for a few tiny spots you can see in the pics. No funky colors or weird growth.  I think they just stalled a bit might be bacteria.




But this one is from a plate that was already slow growing but it just didn’t recover from the last shake. It was 70% but not even so I shook it and this is it a week later. I’m thinking about pitching this one I think it’s baccy. Was from an agar plate and I absolutely stumbled around so I wouldn’t doubt it.




What do yall think? I mean 3 quarts seems like a lot to waste but I don’t want a colony of bacteria in my grow area.

First time with popcorn too some of the kernels are turning dark but even my healthy jars had that. It’s not in every jar but I used multiple brands and some yellow some white

how much grain do you think ive composted in the last decade?

Id probably shake the first 2 and toss the third.

Can someone tell me if this is normal? Very new at this. It's a B+ fruiting bag that I ordered. Their instructions never have you cut it open to fruit as it has a patch. However, I cut it open and put it in a humidity controlled monotub 21 days ago. It's looked a lot like this for the past 2 weeks, but no pins.  RH=87-90% Temp=67f (can't raise rh more due to condensation, would need a space heater to raise temp).  Any ideas?  Or is this all normal?

Can someone please tell me if this is normal? Very new groweer here.  This is GT, spawned to sub 20 days ago, no pins (unless those tan round things are pins, I think they may be seed tops, hard to tell). 

RH=87-90% Temp=67f (can't raise rh more due to condensation, would need a space heater to raise temp).  5lb sub, 3lb well colonized spawn spread over 2 7.5 qt tubs, both tubs look the same as of today.

Any ideas?  Or is this all normal?

I’ve always wondered what the rings were. Makes sense because I usually do see it after a growth spike because temps got a lil higher.
