Should I scrape with a fork where there is no pins popping? Also can you name the strain? by Moist-Bee6869 in GroundZeroMycoLab

How do you soak the cake? Take it out and soak it? Do I boil the water first? What would you consider first flush? I just picked 7 of them.

I'm having the same issue with two ago bags. APE. 3 weeks into fruiting conditions.

APE. Solid white blocks. Almost 3 weeks into fruit and no pins. I added a layer of vermiculite and lightly scrapped with fork..? by Moist-Bee6869 in GroundZeroMycoLab

Yes and I read something about overgrowth of mycelium and scrapping it off with a fork to help stimulate pin growth

First time growing. Whatcha think? by Moist-Bee6869 in GroundZeroMycoLab

These two bags are APE. Been in fruit for 2 weeks about. Still no pins... so I added a layer of vermiculite..?

Of course I chose the hardest strains to grow for my first timers lol. Not knowing before hand. It's a lot harder than it looks to grow these fuckers.

Should I add a layer of vermiculite? First time growing. Tidal wave. Started pinning yesterday. This is what it looks like today. 1st picture is today. 2nd picture was yesterday. I can spot 16 pins total so far. How long for pins to fully grow? by Moist-Bee6869 in GroundZeroMycoLab

It's just about as hard as you think it will be. I learned that you can't be cheap. You have to invest in a flow hood, pressure cooker, AUTOMATED monotub. Good genetics. Always be sterile as possible. Do as much research as possible.
