bulk sub colonizing well, when to case?
    #8068476 - 02/25/08 12:52 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

last sunday i spawned my rye grains to a coir/coffee bulk sub. i just popped the lids open just a little to take a quick look to see how it's colonizing...top layer is colonizing quite well, but i know the whole sub hasn't colonized from looking at the bottoms. this is how we look as of right now:
tub# 1


and tub# 2



now for my questions:
how many more days do you think until it's time for a casing? i've currently got verm, but have been having trouble hunting down peat moss. all i can find is these huge 3.8 cu. ft. bricks that cost like $15... i just need a bit, i'll never use all that before it goes bad... any suggestions?
is there any good ways to tell if the bulk sub has fully colonized? or am i just going to have to wait till it looks like the bottom is fully colonized also, then it's time for casing?

case when it's 100%

I think what he is asking is when to tell when it is, in fact, 100% colonized.

I would give it a couple more days at least-say3-5 more depending on how fast your strain is colonizing the sub.



Doc

A good rule to follow is that if you see that it has colonized the outer surface it is safe to case-meaning the bottom, top, and sides that are visible.

Miracle Grow Moisture Control can be had from just about any Home Despot. Or you could late case with coir. Or you can go hobo style with verm (usually not recommended). Or 50/50 verm/coir.
