i checked on the mono's today and godamn, a ton of pins and some fruit bodies popping up. its a pretty good pinset if i dont say so myself. their two 22 gal. mono's. redboy colonized rye spawned to hpoo with 50/50+ casing.

i know for a fact the cooler temps are slowing things down quite a bit. but they're chugging along.

where do i start. well id like to thank jesus for giving me this wonderful voice. oh god and my mom, dont know where id be without you. and everybody who knew i could do this. haha jk.

if everything goes well the way it should ill have alot of prints to be giving away. ill keep this post updated of course

heres two days later... not bad. like i said they are growing slower than some of the other mono posts ive looked at recently but they are looking really healthy. my house only gets up to 66. im thinking thats what is slowing the growth down. my next mono (in growlog forum) i do im going to put the mono in a big walk in closet with a space heater set to 72-75 and see how that goes.

good job. I've got some LC in jars of WBS right now colonizing. They'll go to monotubs too of Puerto Rican and Hawaiian. Good job with yours, and wish me luck with mine.

You would like to trade prints when I have some ready?

Tub 1 two days later... I love when these things start to just take off.






Tub 2 two days later.
any ideas why some of the smaller mushrooms in these couple pics are already opening their caps?

i do mist them with a pump up sprayer and fan 1-2 times a day.

there are only 3-4 of them where the caps have opened so maybe budda is right and they are mutants.

they are smaller ones, the ones that are opening up. im kinda bummed i was hoping i was going to have a tub full of 8" mushies


some of the caps are even starting to crack.

isnt that a sign of lack of moisture?

its a mono so i try not to mess with it to much you know.

IMO you need higher humidity and you need to add some water to the substrate. I'd suggest you mist like you are but maybe a bit more often and also give the substrate extra water it needs to get those guys bigger by pouring water down the sides of the tray, a lot of water, letting it soak for an hour or two and then pour ALL of the water out. This should give those guys a boost and hopefully prevent the flush from finishing too soon.

If you're only going to spray, and so are increasing the amount you spray, do so through MORE applications over time than through more spraying each application. You can easily hurt future flushes through aborting those pins by spraying to much in one application.

You must remember that shrooms LOVE water, and to get to their full potential you just must give it to them. Next time you need higher humidity from the start, and a good watering schedule. You won't run into those early cap breaking bastards, and your substrate will shrink a lot less too.

And for Jadian,

It's easy, just tilt the monotub/tray/whatever you're using over, maybe even use the drilled holes and take the poly-fill out for a second, and pour the water out. Use your hand to hold the substrate in the container if necessary (can easily do this without damaging anything) and let it all drain out, and maybe even check an hour later to see if any water has pooled up on the bottom, and if so dump it out too. Shrooms that size will not bend or break from the tilt. I've found that doing this very late in a flush can be bad though as tall fruits can break when it's tilted.

my sub hasnt shrunk much at all. i think im doing a good job at keeping this thing at the proper hydration. i do just give it a light misting 2-3 times a day. i think thats working out for me

here's a couple nice piles i just picked. no wet weights but ill get a total once they're all picked and dried hopefully by the weekend. these mono's did great. im hoping to still get 10 or so more piles like that.

Nice, I love the piles post harvest too.

Sounds and looks like you've got it down pretty well!

I'd try though, for next time, to bump humidity to prevent the caps cracking etc. Some of your early pics show signs of needing a bit more humidity/water, you can tell a lot from the color/texture of their caps.

Also, the substrate can be lacking in water while your casing is wet. This can and will end a flush early if it's dry. Make sure you check it too during a flush, and the flood method I spoke of earlier can help that, or using a syringe to directly squirt water into the substrate (in small doses in separate areas).

Excellent job though and...
Enjoy those fruits!

yea i dont know how to do that though. i know they are mono's and your not even supposed to mess with them but i have been spraying and fanning them 2-3 times a day. and the casing is always moist. so i dont think under humidity is the problem.

i did see in one of fahtster's (the man) hillbilly grow logs that his were doing the same thing and he and RR both came to the conclusion that the cracks were from just the mushrooms growing to fast. but who knows. i think im going to run a bubble stone with a tray of water attached to the side next time anyways.

I think you're right in opening those up multiple times. They need the FAE. It personally don't like the set it and forget it idea. I tried it and got contamination, tried it again with bumped up FAE and it worked. But yeah having high humidity while fanning in a monotub seems contradictory, I don't have any suggestions as I moved to a greenhouse/freezer after trying monotub 2 times. Oh and I HIGHLY suggest this for you too if you love those piles!

Make sure the casing surface isn't just moist, but slightly wet (hyphae's pictures are great to see this). And I HIGHLY suggest the mid flush flood method, it bumps up my flushes even though they are already in a high ass humidity/fae environment in the freezer.

No it's something I picked up from RogerRabbit in this post:
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/6660798#6660798

I just made up that name so it's not a tek or anything.

I think though, that this method isn't needed, if you water absolutely perfectly and have perfect conditions, as the substrate wouldn't then need extra water. But for me, with work etc, perfection never fully occurs. So this method helps.

You can also give water by pouring over time. The first time the casing pulls away from the walls at all, you can pour a tiny amount of water down the side, and do so maybe twice a day during the whole flush. As long as it isn't pooled up at the bottom after a couple hours (and if it is pour it out!) you're fine.

Shrooms THRIVE on water, but not too much!

2nd harvest.

this is only 3/4 of just one of my 2 mono's (getting tired of picking)
i havent even touched my 2nd monotub yet.
i never thought when i started this hobby i would be one of those guys with a mound of mushies. but... fuc yea!

these 2 mono's will way more than i and my friends can consume in a long time. i might have to call her quites for a spell.
