Depends, is it wascally? Maybe it's just lost on its way to Albuquerque.

I did look like a cartoon if that's what you're wondering.
Me and my somewhat cowboy shaped hat chased that rabbit around my yard until I got it to go back out where it came from.

Does anybody put shoeboxes straight into fruiting conditions by putting them into a monotub without the shoebox lid on?

---

No, but you could put multiple shoeboxes into a mono with the lids off and it would work as a fruiting chamber

Oh ok. My substrate was made on the wetter side though and in my experience, when I first started mycology, I would try putting tape over the holes of the monotubs while letting it colonize and within a few days it started smelling sour and colonized very slow. I used the same substrate recipe that I have right now. I didn't know much at the time though so maybe it was the grain spawn or some other factor that led it to start smelling.

Wetter substrate in shoeboxes with the lids on is all good then?
And when I mean wet, i mean when I squeeze the substrate a stream of water comes out. I noticed from what I read online most people consider field capacity as a couple drops of water when you squeeze it.

---

If the substrate is on the wetter side, the you should do the opposite and give them more air for higher evaporation, but you should always get field capacity in the first place. I don't know the size of you grows, but it's not that hard to sqeezer out the excess water. That said, the coir I get is not consistent and I have used wet sub(coir only) and when I do I have all my Ez dial holes open.

What is your substrate and what are you growing?

Yea that's why I was just thinking of leaving the lid off of the shoeboxes right away and put them straight in monotubs with micropore tape on the holes putting the shoeboxes straight into fruiting conditions. I have never seen that before and was wondering if anybody ever did it.
I mean I can squeeze it out but lately I have A LOT on my plate and idk if I'd be able to do that in the next couple days. I just want to throw them in the shoeboxes and get it over with lol. And like I said the grain spawn bags are already questionable (my first time using bags and I don't think I got the right ones), and I don't want to wait longer because they might end up getting metabolites or worse if they really are bacterial, and in my opinion they are. And they already been sitting there for a while now

Lately I have been mostly using 68L monotubs with 5 jars with a 1:2 grain spawn/sub ratio. CVG is what I use and I am growing cubes, Tidal Wave

---

Youre overthinking it, when you go to spawn, grab coir by the handful and squeeze out the excess before putting it into the shoeboxes, or just add some dry verm. I like to do the handful thing because then i can semi standardize shoebox amounts.

Came back again! It's exploiting all of my weaknesses!

Once again, I have chased it out of my yard and shored up those defenses. Covering up these weak spots.

It's good exercise.😂

Do fruits get less potent the longer they are in the dehydrator?

These Jack Frost fruits been in the dehydrator for 34 hours now and it is still not totally cracker dry. I usually do 55 degrees Celsius for 12-24 hours depending on the type of fruits but these will not get cracker dry. I upped the temp to 70 degrees around 12 hours ago or so. These fruits always take forever to get dry. It still has a spongy texture. It is 6:30am here and I haven't slept and been so busy in life I barely have been sleeping lately. They are still pretty spongy. Im gonna sleep soon and idk how long I'll be passed out for so I won't be able to keep checking on them. And this is my chance to actually get a good sleep.
I am hoping when I wake up these will finally be dry but not much potency loss.

It's weird, some of my Jack Frost grows do just fine in the dehydrator, some of them come out spongy and take forever to dehydrate, they don't even get fully cracker dry tbh. That's why I asked the other day if some fruits never get cracker dry no matter how long they been dehydrating but some said no, and some said yea some fruits are like that, but usually with PE

How is my grain spawn looking, its WBS, the outer hull of the small grains looks uncolonized, but i see inside them that mycelium has reached it. Go to bulk now?
