any pics? I've gotten by with some pretty sticky millet but it's not ideal

As long as it isn't soupy, it should be fine. I have some millet pucks going that were unshakable because I added to much water. Got the okay from trypt that they'll be okay:):mushroom2:




Doesn't get any more porridge than that :batlol:



I’d recommend against using that :lol:

What kind of millet did you use?? I’m guessing there was a mixup somewhere


Regular food-grade millet from the grocery store. Maybe it's not whole grain.

Q: sterilized millet. Turned into porridge. Any harm in seeing if it can pass as spawn? I'll put more effort into finding whole grain oats or rye...


Have you check out this Tek? I mostly use millet and this has never failed me when following it to a T:mushroom2:


I'll check it out, thanks!

Is this millet legit?

It kinda looks like they took the hull off of it. With millet being so small and if it’s hulled, that could turn to pudding pretty quickly, especially if you quadrupled the water.

Like Astro said, looks like hulled millet. First time I ran millet it was hulled; I did Stipe's method, soaking it in boiled (but no longer boiling) water for 30m. Seemed fine but stuck like concrete after PCing. Sounds like you did no-prep and used too much water.

I did manage to use my hulled stuff, just did a shorter soak (like 15m). Then got unhulled and it's awesome.

If you're just worried about keeping things out without lowering FAE too much I like to use polyfill stuffing in the holes.

Edit: Micro pore tape in my use cases has always been way too restrictive for my needs.

Thanks for your response, Cica.

I used to use polyfil before, then I switched to Mefix MΓΆlnlycke, and I think in the end I'll stick with Mefix.

I haven't seen much conclusive information, but rather estimates that Micropore reduces airflow by 80 – 90%. And adding ~9 new holes for every existing hole puts me off a bit. So I'll just stick with Mefix. It doesn't filter as much, but well... I'm already familiar with it.

If switching rooms actually ends up causing contamination, then I'll worry about it then. :ohwell:

Hugs :heart:

What are you worried about getting into the tubs? Correct me if I'm wrong but, aren't fungus gnats the only real concern with running open holes on fruiting chambers?

The other concern is a tub drying out if people can't control excessive airflow, or if they made too many or too big of holes.

Gnats will always find a way. Little bastards

Personally I used polyfil, micropore, and nothing kept gnats out for me. I try to err on the side of prevention and simply not have any in the house. Which can be hard to do. I moved recently and eradicating them from my new place has been a challenge. Now thst I got snow on the ground and none are coming from outside I think I got a handle on them now. Lots of fly paper and traps are going to do more than taping holes IME at least.

one of my little friends seems to have a small tear (pic1 top left)...the rest are pretty far behind, I can't really run a dehydrator just for him...do I pop him in the fridge? let him ride a couple more hours? (I'll be up for another 8ish)

My post was in response to Belintaf, from his wording it sounds like he's concerned about covering holes to avoid contam(could totally be reading into that wrong),  I'm just curious why. I know gnats can be a catalyst for contam, but I was under the impression that bacterial grain/cakes were the weakening factor that lets mold get a foothold on a sub, not mold spores getting introduced to a healthy sub.

It's your call, id let him keep growing, he's got some time yet before dropping spores, and even if he does it's no biggie. I prefer to harvest all at once.:mushroom2: the others are not far behind at all:smile: they will likely start opening up in the next day or two

Nah, spors won't effect following flushes.

Anytime! Happy to help:smile::mushroom2: If you have a feed mill around you, bulk white millet generally isn't too bad price wise. Around me it's $36 for 50lbs. Which will fill two 5 gallon buckets up. Depending on how much you are growing, it could last a very very long time.
