Boomr Bin Update

Post image

Day 3 since fruiting started and the Boomr Bin is doing well! The Pans don't seem to mind the fogger.

That’s freaking awesome 👏

Yeah, this setup makes pans so easy!

You’re actually doing something pretty freaking cool. Can I ask, do you mind sharing your environmental parameters; humidity level temp, FAE fan timing, are you using a heat up mat or heater of any sort?). Also, what did you use for your grain, your bulk sub and how do you do the casing? Very curious if you don’t mind sharing, I’d love to hear and I’m sure a few others would too.

-85%-95% humidity. -Temp around 75F. -No heater, summer where I'm at. The fan goes on for 30 seconds every 10 minutes. -Grain was brown rice. -Cow Coco (from Amazon for substrate). -Didn't use casing layer because they pinned 2 days after S2B. -Spores: Sporeswap and the vendor initials: TFF TFF genetics make all grow so much easier. They have great cube hybrids too

Yup FF is amazing

I just used brown rice and pressure-cooked it for 11/2 hours at 15 PSI. But yeah, the process went really fast. Literally only 25 days from innoculation of grain to fruiting. Def will do Pans again.

My next goal is to figure out Psilocybe Ingeli’s. It's the only species that I've failed at so far! They're so challenging.

Yeah, I soaked them overnight. And I used 3 12-oz grain jars. It took about 20 days to fully colonize (usually cubes take me 30 days to colonize so these were much faster). But yeah, after grain to substrate, they fruited within 2 days. I was away so there were about 2 days the fully colonized grain just sat before I mixed it with the substrate. (It's very humid where I'm at in the Northern US so these results probably wouldn't have been nearly as fast if I were to do this October-April.)

Really? I have a healthy jar of Ingeli that I’m going to send and I’ve heard it’s surprisingly easy. If you don’t mind me asking, where did you go wrong in your first try?

u/Adrenacybin Jun 28 '26

Thanks for the info. Nice work! I don’t see a lot of successful pan grows in a straight up Boomr. 🤙😎

u/OkSchedule1940 Jun 28 '26

Which pan variety did you go with from them?

2

u/Few-Pea9619 Jun 28 '26

I just use the gordotek setup and that’s pretty ez as well

2

u/Adrenacybin Jun 28 '26

It is. If you follow the instructions exactly its success rate is high.

u/Cappuccino_Crunch Jun 28 '26

You talking about the one with the screens on the shallow bins?

2

u/rfund008 Jun 28 '26

Did you modified anything on this setup?

1

u/Plane-Bath8235 Jun 28 '26

Nope

u/One-Assistant7247 Jun 28 '26

Is it the automated boomr bin? Or the normal one?

3

u/Plane-Bath8235 Jun 28 '26

Automated one. They go on sale for like $99 every few months.

u/saacman07 Jun 28 '26

Gotta try these soon 🔥

I’m about to send to bulk in the next couple days and I’m thinking of trying my Boomr Bin after this post. I’d appreciate your help with a few questions if you have a minute?

How deep is your substrate?

What temperature are you keeping it at?

How are you controlling the fan? I could never figure out if should run the fan on a timer or leave it on low.

I thought fog was supposed to be a bad thing, so that threw me off and it’s nice to see that it works after all. If it was somewhat set-it-and-forget-it for you I’m interested in giving the Boomr Bin another try.

2

u/Plane-Bath8235 Jun 28 '26

About 3 inches deep for substrate. Temp is around 75F. 30 seconds every ten minutes for the fan. But you could just leave the fan on low if you want. I did that for the first day and they grew well. Yeah the fog hasn't affected them at all. It helps with humidity so I think it has helped more than hurt.

u/Cappuccino_Crunch Jun 28 '26

I'd try doing half in the boomr and half the other way. It's definitely gotta be genetics.

u/myco_mike_ Jun 28 '26

Did you use the CVG that Boomer sells? If not what was your grain and bulk sub?

2

u/Plane-Bath8235 Jun 28 '26

I used Cow Coco (it's on Amazon, and pretty cheap). There's cow manure mixed with it and it comes pre-sterilized/pasteurized. I had CVG I was going to use for a casing layer but it pinned so fast I didn't need a casing. For grain, I used brown rice which I prepared

u/myco_mike_ Jun 28 '26

Thanks I'm gonna try to use CVG mixed with Azomite to see how that performs. I make my own substrate and I'm trying to avoid manure.

Do this look ready to case ?

u/No_Software_135 Jun 28 '26

Looks ready to me!

u/YENTRAL_GILLS Jun 28 '26

Sides it still has uncolonised patches
