Quick update folks, thanks to this forum and plenty of commenters in this Q&A thread I've finally reached pinning stage. Thanks to whoever on here that mentioned my substrate was dry looking as pins literally appeared overnight after misting more frequently. Certainly avoided a tub filled with blobs as before all i saw were blobs appearing.

Hopefully I can harvest these soon. Perhaps a week from now?

Two bins, same genetics, same process. I don't think the substrate was evenly saturated when I pulled it from bucket. Top half was dryer than second so in theory one tub has wetter substrate. Only other difference is one has "gasket" lid. No funky colors just very different results so far. Yall see any concerns?

I’ve been out for about a year, moving, etc. Now that I’m settled in to my new place and have a larger space to grow, I’d like to reimagine my setup and not (necessarily) just do the same thing I was doing before.

I was doing monotubs (beefy tubs) before - I now have about 35 sq ft or so to have active production (versus just a closet). This is for personal use, psychedelic + gourmet, but I share with friends and I deeply enjoy this pursuit, so my budget for equipment could be a bit higher…

Should I do a Martha tent? Something else? TIA

I've been reading about hulled and unhulled millet and how to prepare it. Does anyone know which I have?



It's Walmart brand Finch Food.

As for preparing it, i was thinking of dumping it into boiling water, turning the stove off, straining, and PCing it wet.

I usually do a 1:5 ratio for PE, but this time I miscalculated the coir and went with 1:2 (double the spawn) instead. Surprisingly the yield is way better and the mushrooms are much denser. Does this mean I've been wasting a ton of coir whole time?"

Personally I would go all in on Dreamers.
They aren’t that expensive to build and in my experience are far superior to just straight up monos (I use beefs too).

To be honest however, small monos like beefs have given me bigger fruits as opposed to running shoeboxes in the dreamer, and I think a mix of both is optimal.
Dreamers are fucking great for exotics.

If you used 2x the spawn, did you 2x the weight?  Lower ratios are about getting the most out of your spawn.  As in, if you had made two of those 1:5 tubs, would the outcome be the same?

Yeah, pretty sure this is really stupid, but I’m going to ask anyways:

Once I get a mushroom to actually sprout, can I take a piece of the cap/make a cut and place it on/in an agar plate and clone the genetics? I really hope my question makes sense, as I’m not sure how else to ask.

Thanks

Thats called cloning and its very common.

Its best practice to take from the cleaner inner tissue.
It may take a few tries to get a clean one.

Taking from the cap is dirty as hell.

You want to take the tissue from the middle inside of the stipe.

You could technically do it.  But would be a nightmare scenario.

I’ll add that inner cap tissue is my favorite tissue to clone.  It’s globular and not stringy like stipe tissue and real easy to get to.  Just break off a piece of cap at the center and it’s right there


It’s a smaller target but I’ll take it over stringy stipe material any day

Is the idea that material from near the base of the stripe grows more vigorously not well founded?

The cap and the base are your best bets , if there is meat on the cap it's a great spot to clone from as it's structure is different Frome the Stipe , like faht said the Stipe is very stringy this is due to a Stipe being made up of mycelium running parrelel to eachother where as a cap consists of tightly woven mycelium, great spot between the gills and outerskin/ pellicle
