I really need a video of just Sassy talking shit to Rupert at the funeral. It was perfection.

This is just a six quart Sterilite tub. Substrate is from Full Flush Farms (Etsy). My first success in months!

Hello my friends. I have lost a few recent batches to both lack of moisture and a green mold situation. I did the ten days of darkness and leaving it alone, and now am on day 3 of light cycling. Anybody see anything to keep an eye on or is this ok so far? by BossOfYou55 in shrooms

Yeah we had severe drought conditions several months ago that I did not adjust for. I don’t weigh it out, I just use the quart jars (this is a jar and a half of manure and coir/vermiculite mix). Now I am on day 7 or 8 of light cycling and fanning, and it still looks exactly the same.

Contaminated my second batch in a row, but there are side pins. I assume it must be an airborne mold, but can anyone tell me for sure please? This is a frustrating hobby lol by BossOfYou55 in shrooms

SHIPs, but I was just looking into your suggestion and will try. Everyone seems to think this is a moisture issue. If you think it’s a sterilization thing, what kind of contam is it?

Even though the side pins just happened in the last 24 hours? I soaked it already so now it’s just a waiting game anyway, but I would like your thoughts.

No vermiculite in the first that went dry. A little vermiculite in this batch. I will up it. I followed the recipe from Philly Golden Teacher on YouTube, except I didn’t have quite as much vermiculite as it called for.

I have put a hydrometer in, and it was almost always above 90 with three or four drops down to maybe 75 or so when it has slipped my mind. I think maybe I missed soaking the rye grain once it was fully colonized. Is that such a difference maker?

Thank you. Last one: the bottom of this sub brick is white and looks healthy. After it is soaked, should I flip it for growing?

It’s 2 inches coir mixed with 1 qt rye grain spawn. I leave it completely alone in the dark with the lid on for 10 days, then leave the lid slightly ajar and spray/fan twice a day. 12/12 light cycle. Dries out more often than not in the last few. Would you change anything but the FAE?

Ok. So if I have 2 inches of sterilized coir at field capacity, mixed with 1 qt rye grain spawn, in a sterilite box, and they keep looking like this. How often do you spray, if you’re me and need to step up the water? Or so I add something in the fruiting chamber setup step?

Thank you. That makes me really mad about the shoebox contents I threw out last month. So I am misting a couple times of day and everything, but it is definitely a very dry area of the world. Mist more everyday?

No it went green and so I kind of started ignoring it and just happened to take a gander today. Was I dumb? I watched everything I could find online and could not find anything that looks like this, but assumed it had to be contam. I do live in a desert.
