Bulk casing question.
    #5681118 - 05/27/06 05:40 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

I have 5 lbs of tenn stud done and ready. I cased a little while back with verm/coir. Not sure how much of each, but more verm. than coir.

I fruited about 4 days ago. Myc. had started to show through a little and I got worried that since i used coir it would not stop eating. So i Fruited.

I am doing a mono tub. I put four holes in the bottom and four holes in the top stuffed with poly-fill. I also put in a 25 watt bulb in the top of the tub on a timer for 12/12.

The myc. is still coming up through the casing slowly (I never patched) and looks pretty even. I'm not sure how even though, this is my first bulk grow. Anyway does this sound good to everyone?

The myc coming through the casing doesn't seem nearly as white as it wan on the poo, but stays when sprayed. Maybe its just the casing is a lighter color than the poo and it does not look as white. hmm.

I am really just worried that i didn't let the casing colonize enough and don't want to get mold.

any advice tips or criticism appreciated.

You're on track. Just let it go. Make sure it gets pleny of air exchange. I'm no fan of stuffing polyfil in the vent holes, because it can slow down air exchange, leading to more vegetative growth instead of fruiting. There is no reason to try to keep a fruiting chamber sterile. Massive air exchanges will stimulate pinning and decrease the chances for molds.
