Nice job, HC!  The shallow substrate depth is good to know, thanks.

What did you case those trays with?

---

Aussie cased with 50/50+ .

The sub . depth was some good advice from RR and Blue Helix  . As well as the casing depth and make up . I believe he did some experimenting with some different casing layers . Believe he tried a sand based , or cactus soil based and found 50/50 to work just as well . I don't believe
he  adjusted the ph though , as pans tend to not go as many flushes . Hopefully he'll step in and add some more worth wild  and helpful advice and info . As should anyone else who has any .

It's all new to me

I'll try adding some pics every now and then as I ubderstand these to be fast growing . Makes sense since they don't get very big .

Not with that weak ass pinset , lol , J/K .

If that's nailing it , now I know why you've never nailed me 

Luv ya Paw.

What kind of pinset you think it might get ? Will the heavy colonized parts produce ?

nice HC!

I am about to place an order with Ralph

I try to have the least expectations, that way I am always filled with good surprises =)

Hope I get a similiar outcome

cheers

I hope you do also

Well , they seem to have survived the night so I'll give a little more info .

This was made using a 2 month old master , 1 quart WBS inoculated via LC that had been refridgerated since colonization . That was then spawned to 2 1/2 pounds of Tenn. Stud 100% pre-pasteurized equine poo .

After 8 days colonizing it was ready to case . I used sterilized , we'll see how it holds up to the green , lol , 50/50+ .

The sub layer is an inch and a half with an 1/8" casing layer depth .

I left that in incubation for a day and a half , used a clean fork to patch , I just move casing material around with the fork to cover the exposed mycelium . I never add more casing material , just move it around a little . This stuff is fast going through ths casing layer .

Then in the Green House .

The temp is 78 F and the humidity has been around 100% the whole time . They don't seem to be aborting , as I was lead to believe the high humidity would do . Pins formed in 3 days 

Here's somee more pics just taken










Well , everything seems to be going OK so far . I'm watching them like a hawk . If anything seems to slow down , I might lower the humidity . Not changing a thing yet .


All in all , this has been a great experience and a whole lot of fun . Hopefully I'll be able to notch up a successful Pans grow on my belt . They are a little trickier then cubes , but nothing to be afraid of
