when to case hpoo?
    #5408122 - 03/16/06 12:32 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I have 2 tubs of hpoo spawning right now. One with GT and another with Mazatapec. They are 4 inches in depth and about 8 x 14 inches. My question is what do you look for to know when its time to case. The whole bottom looks to be colonized and there is myc. growth all through the substrate. There is an even amount of myc. on the top but it doesn't look like a cake or anything. Just a good amount of myc.

There shouldn't be any uncolonized areas. It usually takes 4-8 days for me.

You look for a totally colonized substrate, i.e. completely white.

I usually wait about 12 days.... but you should keep checking on it so you do not get overlay

What temp you got it at... should be 78-82

Case it... wait another 5 days in dark

then 12/12 light/dark high humidity and FAE

Someone please chime in if I am wrong

Usually 5 or 6 days does me good. Here is a pic of mine at 4 days.



As you can see in the middle it looks well colonized but on the sides there is still some uncolonized areas. So that should be covered up within a few days. But if your whole casing is like the middle of mine then you should be good. I had trouble telling at first because the whitness varies throughout the casing. Some looks white some is light brow. Just as long is there is no dark brown you're good.

Don't be checking on it too much because that will screw your pinset over. HPOO is sensitive to light so just check on it every 2 days or so untill it is done. I looked at mine too much the first time around and I got a really crappy pinset.

Hope this helps you out.

~Peace Out

**EDIT**

Oh yeah I forgot I have a pic of a fully colonize monotub too. HEre it is. again I hope this helps.

I guess it matters your spawn:poo ratio

I used half gallon jar of spawned grains with 10lb of 50/50 poo/straw mix..

How many days should I case this?

What is your ratio kungpow?
