I started cultivation on Producers Pride oats. I don't love oats now, but I grew pounds of cubes on them. When I started doing tamps I swear that oats were better at growing stones in the jars than wheat or millet. For me anyway.

Thank you for your reply.

In regards to my question about getting it up towards the middle. I have a small, flat rack, but is there a certain one you recommend? Like one that sits up maybe 7-8 inches or more? Or maybe I could use my flat rack, but put something underneath it? It's a stupid question, but the way I have it, the plates sit only about an inch higher than the bottom of the flow hood.

Looks like this might get lost before answered. so, here you go buddy.


Always check your local dollar store for all these items first.

I mean you could just buy the $1.25 plain black cookie Cooling racks.from dollar store. And use a couple wood blocks or something on each side to  prop it up on to whatever height you need. But if you want something that stands on its own check out the pictures below the first one.




Go to Amazon and search for expandable cupboard shelves or kitchen storage shelves. And or walmart. Also look for keywords foldable/stackable  baking cooling racks.



They make them that are foldable and stackable. These are the Racks you're looking for that everybody uses.

Definitely look for stackable. Or even better multi-tiered. just in case you need to go higher.

Your choice on which one. They make plastic ones too but metal probably easier to clean.

I have both of the racks pictured below. I make good use out of them for other projects.








It will work out best for you if you keep your work inside the red space in the pic below.




Good luck! Hope this helps.

First timer: I've noticed that within the last 5 days my grain spawn jars seem to have stalled out, there hasn't been any noticeable growth. They're only about 15% colonized, so I think it may be too early to shake.

I'm wondering if it's a gas exchange issue? I don't remember reading anywhere that grain spawn jars need air exchange but perhaps they do?

Otherwise they look very healthy. Just nice white patches of mycelium, no signs of contam.

I'm using whole oats (horse feed) that I boiled then sterilized in the pressure cooker. Inoculated them with agar wedges in a SAB.

I have 6 jars that were all growing at the same rate and then stalled at the same time. Temps have been kept around 70F.

Im having some trouble fruiting. Im able to get grain jars going well, clean. But when I fruit, Ive had hard luck.

Ive been doing shoeboxes, they're in a hot water cupboard, which can fluctuate between 15 - 23 degrees Celsius.

I'm considering making a small fruiting tent, hoping this will help. Any suggestions?

I notice many Martha tent designs on necessarily include temp control?

My shoebox literally exploded with pins. The sub consists of one quart of spawn and 1.5 quarts of coir. I added water according to Beef's formula: weight of coir in grams x 4.25 = water in milliliters. It's been three days since the first pin appeared. But what should I do with so many pins? Should I try bottom watering?

Should be enough h2o in there to support the flush. I would LITFA.
And congrats! Looks great.

Do they have filtered holes? If no then you should make lids that do, sterilize them and swap them out in your SAB

I disagree. Back the threads off a little bit. Dont open it, but let it breathe

Thanks. No, it’s not, I made LC with the fastest-growing mushroom I grew for the first time.
