I would like to add that I plan on discontinuing my use of lc in the near future, as I just see it as an additional vector for contamination, and will soon just be dumping clean, colonized agar plates directly into my bags in front of an FFU, then sealing. I can produce an infinite number of plates quickly and effectively, while being able to visibly check for contamination, before expanding to grain, so why fuck with lc? One plate, one bag, one tub.

But thats just my thought process.

Yeah... See how many bags go bad and you can nail down your contam vectors. I did agar for 2 years before I attempted LC. Glad I waited.

thank you for your reply, i only had 2 bags popped in around 25, so apart from this issue do you think the 0.2 /0.3 micron filter is enough for 4 quart of spawn?

about the water content of the coir, it must be different for each brand but i think it couldn't be that far apart
i'm doing 800g coir + 3 quarts of verm with 3.7L (4 quarts) of water, i tried hydrating the coir alone and it was 3.4g x gram of coir, over that it would have been muddy. when i squeeze a hand full of substrate it would drop around 5 drops to a very small stream, is that right? TY!

You should get 3 drops of water out of squeezing it like it owes you money.


A stream is way too much

When do I harvest my shrooms? I've looked into it a bit, and every strain looks different. I had one of my jars grow my first mushroom last week, but now it looks shriveled and is getting black; Have I waited too long?

A second jar is growing three new mushrooms. How do I know when to harvest them?

You can harvest after the veil breaks. If it's PE type shrooms, wait until it has a little give, kinda like a marshmallow, then harvest. If the Shroom has shriveled and is turning black, you waited to long.

Hey Shroomers,
Is this 7 litre tub good for a quart of spawn and 3 quarts of substrate?
The image is just of the substrate still need to add spawn.
I was just gonna cover with a plastic bag with some holes. I have a 20 litre pastywhyte tub but I don't think I have enough bulk substrate/spawn.
Thanks!

Thanks! And should I try to harvest the "underground" part of my mushrooms or just the part that is above the surface?

I looked through the forum for advice on dehydration but I'm getting a lot of conflicting ideas. I have a space heater with a fan in my room. Will putting my mushrooms on a rack next to that be sufficient to dry them? I plan to order a food dehydrator but it won't come until next week.

Also, each jar is growing mushrooms at a different rate. I should harvest each mushroom individually once it's "ripe"?

Just harvest the mushroom itself. Either lightly twist and pull so it breaks off the surface without damaging the surface of the substrate, or cut it off with a knife or scissors. You can air dry them like you mention, but a dehydrator will work better. You can try putting them in a paper bag in your fridge until your dehydrator arrives. Also, yes harvest as they are ready if you can since youโ€™re not talking about a lot of fruits. Look into curved aquarium scissors. They make real easy work of harvesting, especially in tight places.

I wouldn't eat that mushroom up top. Looks to be rotting a little.

Definitely knock the cake out of its jar and either finish the flush in a water tub, or harvest those little shrooms. Dunk, and prepare for the next flush.

You can make a watertub out of most things, heres one I made out of a shoe box using quarter pint cakes. Just a little water in the bottom of the box with the cakes on plastic jar lids.



If you go the water tub route, and keep those mushrooms growing, be sure to add a little water in the dish they are sitting in for 24hrs. They'll need some bottom watering after putting out the one shroom otherwise those smaller mushrooms won't grow much more.

What do you think about these plates? thats bought LC on bought plates(light malt and yeast it says)





as i'm getting some fruit from some LC, (others seem slow af) i'm questioning if i should trust my bought LCs or if i should clone fruits on agar, given that i don't have a flowhood but only a SAB

I personally think it's a little lazy to be selling plates when they haven't figured out how to fully dissolve yeast.

Should I soak up these big droplets (by the side of the box) with a paper towel, or leave them alone? 6qt shoebox, I'm running four shoeboxes of the same thing, and this is the only one getting these big droplets. I haven't been misting.

This is what I thought. I know I can make a better product than that. Is there such a market that those are passable to the point of profitability?

Let em be. It's about to start pinning and will have no issue sucking up the water itself

That'll work. They may be a little cramped for headspace, but you can always dub tub if needed. If it was me I'd use less substate to allow the headspace and speed up colonization. But that's just preference. 1:3 spawn to sub ratio is totally fine :smile::mushroom2: happy growing!

Thank you! I've been second guessing my surface conditions, especially with the droplets and the corners looking dry. But it seems happy so far
