It seems like it, it could have gone faster, but it's my first time. I'll be checking on it in a little bit, I need to get ahold of the camera first.

I cut away a section fo the duct tape to see the substrate. I kinda got a view on to the surface when using the pre-flash red light on the camera to see thru the condesation, but I couldn't get a good picture of it, only this one. The top looked creamy but I couldn't tell that well since everything had a red hue and looking thru the condensation didn't help. If I took the blanket off and brought it into the light I'm sure I could see it and get a picture, but I don't think I'm supposed to.

If anyone has any better ideas on how to get a better view, I'll give it a try, I just cant open the actual container yet. By the loks of it, it might not need 3 days more, but I do think it needs a little more time. I think I'll give it 2 days extra, I want it nice and colonized before I case.

I just got my spore print from FSRC, it's a SA from April of 05. I'll be putting it in the GB, and making a few LCs of it. I'm expecting a print from the FSP in Italy. I got the confirmation email and I have a Hypholoma capnoides coming in the mail.
On a side note, I've decided to do 60/40 verm/coir, I don't have any hydrated lime, so its the next best thing I guess. I was looking forward to using 50/50+, bummer.

I went to Osh to get some gypsum but they only had it in 40lb bags for $6. The price isn't my worry, it's getting too much that worries me, and I'd hate to just toss a lot of it. I probably should have bought it anyways, but I didn't, so here is the mix I'll be going with:
20% Coir 50% Verm 25% Peat + 5% Powdered Oyster Shell
I only needed like a cup of gypsum, so you can see how 40lb would be a tad wasteful. I pulled that mistake with the 4 cubic foot bag of Perlite -- whcih I'm not even using right now.

I've finished mixing and now finished nuking all the quart jars of casing mix. Here's the final mix: 10.75 cups coco coir 19 cups vermiculite 10.1 cups peat moss 0.5 cups powder oyster shell
It's all in quart jars now and I'm going to wait until noon to case.

I've just finished casing and putting the covered double tub back under the bed. I only used 6 of the 13 jars of casing mix, so for next time I mix, a 3/4inch casing layer takes about half of what I mixed up.
Here's the tub before it was opened, lots of condensation.

Here's the opened tub.
 There was a couple areas with a good amount of puddled water, but that was from the water falling from the top when I moved it to the bathroom, I won't be moving it like that again until harvest, so it shouldn't pose a problem.
There were porous clusters of myc that looked almost like caulk which you can see here.
 The discoloration is myc piss I'm fairly sure.
Here is more of what I think is myc piss.

And here is the final picture before I closed her up.

Does all that myc piss mean I should have cased earlier? I think I might have waited a day longer than I should have, but I was waiting until that little bit of substrate I had a view of was colonized.
I also was planning on getting another 49 qt tub from Kmart to use as the top tub (and move the hole a few inches higher than they are now), but their "Come back in 2 days and we should have more in" and more of my phone calls has resulted in them only having 45qt tubs in. yay. So my tops holes are not as high as they should be, but nothing can be done about that now. Next time.
Aside from that, the casing layer should be done in 5 days, so expect an update then.

bump, anyone care to elaborate? This is my first grow, so I'm seeing this all in person for the first time.

It looks good man. I think you could have cased a little sooner, but what the hell huh? Are you planning on cold shocking and light shocking the pinset? Or are you going to put them in optimum conditions and wait for it to happen by itself?

At noon today the blanket was taken off, the light was turned on, and the 12' oscillating fan was turn on (the fan faces the wall with its back to the tub on the lowest setting. The light's being turned off at around 9. I'm still considering light on/off times to use with the timer. I think from 4am-2pm (not so early as to wake anyone up, and not so late as to have the glow under the bed noticable later in the day. I wasn't home today, so I had my roommate turn on all the stuff I had set up earlier for him. When I get back tomorrow mourning, I'll post pictures.

Here's some pictures of the setup. I was hoping to see the top more evenly colonized. There's some pretty big clumos of myc., I don't know why is colonized so oddly, any input?

I figured I'd take pictures of the Z jars to show how they ended up (I'll spawn them eventually, but I figure I'll learn from this casing before I case the Zs). I also took pictures of the LC jars, I'll be using some of the myc to inoc 8 pint jars to be used as cakes. I skipped cakes altogether but I still would like to have some fun with them seeing as I have so much Perlite anyways .
The Z Jars

One of the LC jars (pint size). They all look roughly the same. One or two have a little bit of sediment stuck to the bottom of the myc because I never filtered and re-PCed, but the stuff isn't big enough to clog a needle even if I did suck some up.

I don't know about this casing... it looks too moist in there (there're beads of water on the myc poking through in clumps) and the myc is, as you could see, in clumps and not in the vallies of the casing... I still see no knots and definatly no pins. *sigh* next time I guess. Sorry to disapoint you guys that were wanting to see some shrooms.
