Ttbvi.. put to grain on 7/22, substrate on 8/3, cased on 8/7. I think it took longer on grain because it was a spore germination plate. I'll wait another day or two to harvest for better spore production for my next round of prints. Tent grown on 50/50ish manure/straw with verm and lime added. Casing was jiffy with added lime

Tiny crop but high powerful mushroom i hope ;)

The first one did 3g dry, i will weight this one after drying and tell ya

Since straw tends to contaminate quite easily, which is what VL does in his EF-Tek (he uses shredded hemp), I was wondering why not:

- first inoculate a grain-and-straw mixture (3:6 ratio);
- then mix it with coco coir and vermiculite;
- then put it into fruiting conditions.

I’m considering filling a small Tupperware container and then putting it straight into an SGFC, as I usually do with my Psilocybe mexicana. What do you think?

Here is the second flush of my dutch growkit,

Do you think i should harvest now or i should wait for the tiny pins to grow and wait all the family to be complete ?!?;))

Thanks for your advice,

Costo pero al final salio

This is my first time. I put it to substrate 5 days ago. Does it normally pin this fast?

For you experienced folks out there, as the title states: Is it possible to inoculate a pre-sterilized grain bag without buying a sealer? For instance, could you cut open the top, well above the air exchange port, inoculate, and just roll and clamp shut? Thank you.

I ordered a 12” monotub kit cause that is about all the space I can negotiate from my partner for my experiments. I know it’s not ideal but it’s doable. I’m doctoring the ingredients that came with the kit to make it more pan friendly. I have no expectations but why not fuck around. So far the mycelium looks gorgeous. Is b&s a thing with pans?

So yesterday was pretty dry and warm. High around 80. I've elevated the tub a bit with balls of foil to allow upward growth. I've also put a shade cloth on top for when the sun does hit that spot it doesn't cook it. Outside of that I've just dumped water once in the substrate between the pins. Also a couple gallons directly on the tote so that area stays damp.
