Do they make special cameras to do this? Does anybody out there know of a decent one that's also not super expensive that'll get the job done?

I'm really interested but don't know where to start.


You could use a web cam with a free open source software like Chronolapse (http://www.chronolapse.com/) to do what you are wanting to do. HD webcams can be bought under $20 all over the web. I think you could do some epic documentation of grows with a quick easy set up like that, from what i have seen from the pictures you have posted!


Ooooooooh that's a slick answer ark, I'm gonna have to do that with my next tub.

Qq for everybody, what're the advantages of grain bags over jars? Is it just the quantity you can get or am I overlooking something?

Where to start?

IMO, grain bags are ideal for g2g transfers. Make up a 500ml jar of spawn that colonizes quickly and dump it in a 3lb bag of grain, shake her up and you'll have a large tub's worth of grain in no time. It saves space and time.

It's one of the reasons I want to get a flow hood. My sab is too small to work with bags, so I'm stuck doing it the old fashioned way.

i still just do g2g even with the ffu.

wedges to bags take forever and for me at least the mechanics of bags kinda limit me to pouring from a jar.

in fact.. wrong thread but.. i confess ive only a few times been able to pull off a2g with bags. no clue why but its obviously a skill issue:shrug:

I'd weigh that in my mind if I were you - not the worst problem to ponder/fantasize about throughout the day. Haha. I guess it all depends on how much spawn you want to create/have space for. One quart to one large spawn bag is somewhat tedious but certainly doable in most SABs. A dozen jars = a dozen bags is a lot of spawn. A dozen quarts is a years worth of magic for me. 🪄

I mean, you can always get a BIG SAB and find a way to make it work (bag-to-bag) but I understand 'elbow room' & the feeling of sweet relief freedom that comes with a flow hood - it's a real thing. 😎🤣

I'm just yapping and spit balling from an older guy tossing food salad for thought - don't mind me - but when I got a flowhood (ffu is smaller/lighter, I think) it was awesome but it was bulky, heavy, heat up the room & my zealous use had me SWIMMING in spawn with no place to fruit. "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom."  I've been much happier now that I'm cooking up smaller, more intimate batches in my SAB.

It's been a couple more days and my tub seems to have stalled out and I don't know why.

Should I just harvest what's there? It should all still have its potency, correct? Including all the little aborts.

The bag seems to have done okay but the caps seem small and I was hoping to get some spore prints. Maybe give the bag another day?

They are both first flushes.

Both seem to have humidity and removing tops gives fresh air. Trying to be patient but also not sure if I've done something wrong.

My son is moving out sometime in the next couple years and I plan to turn his room into a lab. That's when I'll probably end up getting a Flow hood or FFU.

Right now I'm just working off of a little table and my walk in closet so it doesn't make sense.

A TC once said that they buy coir by the pallet and that's my long term goal.

For now, I'm just having fun with a hobby.

I'd give them some more time but that's just me and I can't say if they'll grow more or not but I'd pick the ones who look ready and leave the rest since it won't harm you to wait another day or two to find out.

Isn't the micropore tape supposed to be off when you fruit it though? I don't use a mono tub so I seriously don't know but I think I remember seeing people write this before. Perhaps it's a lack of FAE due to the tape?

That tub looks like it has a lot of life to give. Let it ride, there's more development to be had.

The bag looks more iffy with the bluing caps on the big guys, but I'd still give it another day or two at least before making any calls.

Keep all the aborts, they're full of goodies just like regular fruits. Something like a splatter screen for kitchen cooking or window screen is a good tool to hold the little ones when you dehydrate so they don't fall through the cracks in your dehyd trays.

I wonder if this is the problem? Can anyone confirm?

Maybe I'll just do it. 🧐

Those holes are too big to completely remove the micropore. If you wanna add some air flow just poke a 1/4" hole in em and see how the tub reacts. You can always poke more holes.

I'd wager the fruits would benefit from some extra air flow as they mature and pack out the tub.

The right amount of air to introduce depends on your environment. Always good to make small adjustments and observe the effects.

:whathesaid:
I'm not experienced enough to tell you that it is for certain but as far as I know you want a high Co2 level during colonisation and that's why you use the tape then you open the tape up to give it FAE ie more oxygen to trigger pinning and I've seen many people having growth issues due to a lack of FAE, including myself.

I use a water tub and there isn't anything filtering the air coming into it since the tub isn't as exposed to contamination after the colonisation phase so it's common to have open air coming into the FC and there is no real need to filter it after you've engaged fruiting at least.

Done. We'll see how it goes.

Most prefer fruiting conditions as soon as we spawn. No need for reduced airflow for colonization with cubes.

I do agree that those holes are likely too big to just rip off the tape. I use micropore to dial in my tubs. In Summer I need a few 1/4” holes open. In Winter with much drier air I can cover most of the with micropore to prevent drying out.

I spawned 2 quart jars to 4 quarts coir. It colonized very nicely. Once it did that I should have opened up FAE with 1/4 inch holes?

Continuing transfers does not guarantee ryzomorphic growth. I've had luck with both low nutrient (2.5g per 500ml) and extremely high (20g per 500ml) nutrients bringing out ryzomorphic hyphae, but for whats it's worth, you should just try to learn the look and habits of your selected varieties.



The myc does whatever the fuck it wants ultimately.

Some cultures grow rhyzo more than others. Probably because they’re vigorous and absorbed nutrients quickly, but I had a strain that grew rhyzo and ropy as fuck on every plate. I went to take the final transfer and took just a scrap of a very thick rope structure.

The entire plate is just fuzz. No rhyzo at all. Same media recipe same ambient temps. wrote rhyzo on the plate and I think it was a sick joke from the shrooms 😂🤷🏻‍♂️ rhyzo or tomentose indicates absolutely nothing. And isolating “rhyzo” is not possible
