😂 I meant for consumption, I can’t easily access wheat or rye, May try brown rice though if millet doesn’t work as well.

I had never heard of misting the actual fruit. Will do that, thanks.

Looks great! When did you go to bulk?

First, thanks guys, really appreciate the kind words. I read about how faht had good pinset with laymix, so I did that with that tub. Can't verify just yet, but spawn 2 new tubs yesterday and laymixed both so I'm excited to see if they have as good pinsett when times come.

@Strawboy, I believe I spawned this tub 06.06.25, and as I mentioned above I'm pretty sure it's my own fault and not the culture, right after I spawned it we had almost a month of 32°C(90°F) and I don't have any way to cool the grow room. They colonized the tub within 10-12 days, but then just stalled.

Luckily nothing contaminated(had cactus soil in my casing) and as soon as it got a little lower temperature I put it in the dreamer tub, less then a week and I saw pins

That looks fantastic.  Hoping the next trays I've got going turn out half that good.

Thanks man Several people, including Fahtster, ReverendMyc and myself have had great results with laymixing semps, so if you have spawn to spare, I suggest trying it

So the one's I have going now (that seem to be doing well)...I kind of jumped the gun and just did them like lasagna.  Coir, spawn, coir, spawn, coir, spawn, top layer of coir.  This actually seems to have worked fine.  Cased them after they colonized most of the top layer.  These are looking good so far.  I've got more jars that are ready to spawn to bulk and coir ready to go.  Hopefully can get them s2b this evening.  I'll look at the laymixing closer and give that a shot.  The water tubs seem to work well for this.  Got a sterilite container with 1/2-1" water in bottom and 2 take out trays sitting in the water filled with substrate.  Got the handles on the sterilite flipped up and lid is resting on handles which creates small air gap.  Seems to allow enough FAE without drying things out.

For zaps, going to use same setup but stick an aquarium bubbler in the water to further increase humidity. 

Unless something goes sour though, I'm anticipating enough subtrops from this grow to take some wicked trips

Yeah man, didn't even think of the lasagna tek, I'm sure that will work great as well, I'm shooting from the hip here, but I think the good pinset comes from the layer of spawn just beneath the top layer of coir, and if that is the case, lasagna should perform the same as laymixing

Nice move with the water tub, now I want pictures of the setup your running I'm trying to get my Zapo's going as well, but it's been to warm here and a no go, did some transfers to new plates a couple of days ago, so fingers crossed we don't get another heat wave this summer, looking forward to seeing how it works out for the both of us. And yeah, took 1,2g of these and well, it was more then enough, which means the amount of semps I have stored will last be passed down to my kids

Not yet, how long since pins? They are beautiful though
