Do I need to cover the holes after inoculating. It seems in RR's video that the holes were left uncovered after inoc. ???

a mod should move this

this should be posted in the mushroom cultivation forum

but, to answer the question, if you cover your holes with tape (PF tek right?) you don't get needed gas exchange and mycelial growth is much slower.

It's best not to cover them with anything except the foil lid.

That's the purpose of the verm layer on top, the 4 innco. holes should be left exposed.

That would explain my slow growth...
I'm going to try taking off the second layer of foil.

2nd layer? Foil doesn't prevent gas exchange in the least so I wouldn't worry about it.
