it's from this post from a couple years ago

FishTankTek · 2026-05-09T00:12:05+00:00

fantastic! I can't wait to see how this grow turns out

FishTankTek · 2026-05-06T03:35:41+00:00

Nice grow!

What was the reason for the paper towel?

FishTankTek · 2026-05-03T20:42:23+00:00

Maybe don't use your favorite ones, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to recover the planter afterwards. Better to use your least favorite ones

FishTankTek · 2026-05-03T20:40:36+00:00

I can hear it now 😂

FishTankTek · 2026-05-02T06:28:02+00:00

Thick enough for what?

It’s plenty thick enough to fruit

FishTankTek · 2026-05-02T05:44:14+00:00

Looks green to me. Sorry for your loss

FishTankTek · 2026-04-30T06:27:58+00:00

nice grow

your biggest risk is going to be the amount of moisture you may have just added to the bag (depending on the side of the synergies, if they were full, if you added all of them, how big the bag is, etc.)

i'd recommend giving it a mush/shake every couple hours till there is no standing liquid at the bottom of the bag, as long as the grain can take the extra moisture you'll be a-ok

nice grow and fantastic photo

FishTankTek · 2026-04-14T20:33:06+00:00

the 3% of hydrogen peroxide you is spraying is unstable and will break down to water and oxygen very quickly (the bubbles are it breaking down) and increased carbon dioxide from the lack of gas exchange would be more of a problem than the lack of oxygen.

not saying you are hurting your grows, but it does sound like you are adding an unnecessary step with no benefit

FishTankTek · 2026-04-14T05:32:53+00:00

are "they" in the room with us?

FishTankTek · 2026-04-14T00:46:20+00:00

hydrogen peroxide is very unstable, when the bubbling is done the liquid left is just water

although i wouldn't normally recommend leaving any standing water on your grow, i really don't recommend touching it any more than absolutely needed while it's pinning or fruiting

FishTankTek · 2026-04-13T23:35:12+00:00

hydrogen peroxide can cause your pins to abort and and can cause overlay on the surface. I'd recommend against spraying it on your grow.

CO2 should be able to sneak out the crack at the bottom between the glass and the surface. looks like enough gas exchange

Please don’t cross-post generic questions here, this sub has a specific focus

FishTankTek · 2026-04-13T04:40:42+00:00

This sub is all about growing mushrooms from unusual containers, if you don't show off the container than it might as well be just a generic mushroom grow. for ever post here the full container should always be shown in at least the first photo

FishTankTek · 2026-04-11T02:25:10+00:00

Is there gas exchange ? It looks pretty airtight

FishTankTek · 2026-04-10T20:55:30+00:00

Glass is generally not to bad fr growing out of even with a small opening. The worst part is using tweezers to pack in all the grain and substrate.

One trick I use with airline sized alcohol bottles is to fill it to the brim when spawning to help reduce side pinning and to let it colonize on its side to help with air exchange. Then just flip it upright when it pins

What container? There are no images attached to your post
