how's my casing doing?
    #7586089 - 11/01/07 11:18 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Hi guys! This is my first attempt at casing. I am using a metal tin that used to hold some cookies. I used the lid to keep it dark and C2O-ie while I waited for the casing (50/50+) to colonize, and then set it out in the terrarium. Its been about 4 days since I put it in, fanning three times a day, and I haven't seen much change. How does it look to you? Is it about to pin? Or am I getting the dreaded 'overlay'?

overlay is pretty rare and in it's worst form, resembles a brown fibrous welcome mat. It's a hard, impenetrable shell that forms over the colony that doesn't allow water in or pins out.

Here, read this...

Keep in mind that inoculating or whatever in front of a flow hood won't help your bad substrate, your bad inoculant, your bad sterile procedure, etc. etc. etc. It's not a +3 flowhood of magic, it's just a tool.

well, you guys were right :smile:


and a few days later:


I am still concerned about the areas that didn't get very many pins.  Especially, the really white area towards the right.  It's really well-colonized - why didn't it pin?

Should I do anything after I pick the first flush?  Dunk?
