To Patch...Or not to Patch?

So, really quick question as I'm still trying to work on my own personal casing strategy (with the help of you wonderful folks of course!) Should I Patch these bitches up, or just keep misting them once or twice a day until I see pins?
BTW, I fruited them two days ago after the myc started to poke through, I lightly patched a few spots and let the rest do its thing.


Thanks everyone, I know there are a dozen questions about simple casing techniques everyday on this board, but a second opinion is always appreciated!

I wouldn't patch if the casing has been in fruiting conditions for two days. If I need to patch I will do a light one and then put the casing directly into the FC.

It looks pretty evenly distributed. But if you want to go for a better pin set I might suggest a light scratch. Just sterilize a fork, then rough up the top layer of casing so it detaches from the bottom, then the myc will grow back more evenly.

At this stage thats not a bad idea.

I used a closet once setup a nice little lab trouble was all the shit that was in there ended up in the bedroom that pissed off the GF then I ended up dumping her as she was getting in the way of my sterile culture technique! Ya I got priorities too!!!"
