does this casing look normal
    #7941581 - 01/27/08 05:45 PM (16 years, 5 days ago)

long time lurker first time poster =)

i tried some casings of wbs but they failed (actually 2 ) because i used potting soil and had problems with it ,

Anyway this is the third time so i wanted to make sure this time
this is 1 quart of wbs cased with coir verm , since coir verm casings tend to overlay they are cased and put in fc directly , no different smells coming from it lil bit of shroomy and coir , why i felt like asking this time is my jars colonize %100 but on the outside even though u can see it all around the kernel it is weak , during searching in some of the topics i heard if you had a big hole for gas exchange or in a dry climate tops and sides of the glass tend to colonize late and weak , so im guessing it is no problem , here are the photos

well sorry about the flash its just a phone cam i know everything seems sooo white =)

looks nice coir/verm is a sub. I use coir/coffe grounds/verm, works like magic.

looks good so far, but also looks like it could use some more time colonizing before fruiting it. id give it a couple more days

i know it is used as a substrate also but had no other choice since i dont have peat moss and had troubles with potting soil , wanted to try an old casing since it has been used many times before except overlay problem =/
btw forgot to mention this is day 3 of casing casing is directly put in the fruiting chamber because i know coir tends to overlay , applied a really thin layer 3/16" or so because i had troubles with a thicker casing before anyway the substrate itself is 2.25" i guess

As long as there are no colors or odors you are golden.
