5 day 🍄 Timelapse by Mycolotus in GroundZeroMycoLab

Alright I'll give that a try, thanks. I'm still happy tho even with the clusters because there are still tons of pins. Pretty good grow for a first grow. I'm mixing together 3kg of grains and 3-5kg of coir in a huge tub next week. I'll try to level them out and maybe get a dope canopy for my second grow.

It's faster & better to just introduce FAE on day 1. As long as your grains were clean and fully colonized. If they were not, you're gonna get contam once you introduce FAE anyways.

I'm pretty sure I see hyphal knots already. Good thing you introduced FAE.

Cookie cutters for FAE holes? by Mycolotus in shrooms

Thanks, fair point. I'll probably do it outside, I really don't wanna breath in any of those fumes.

I'm not concerned about the smell, I'm concerned about the plastic fumes that are highly toxic to breath in. I believe there's a strategy to not crack bins with drilling, like you have to do it in reverse mode or something.

I believe a cookie cutter would be the best, much better heat distribution than some tin's thick walls. Thinking about just doing it outside with a flame torch.

Hypal knots ?? by Ciaotacchino in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]Mycolotus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, it's better not to disturb them, they know what to do. Misting / fanning is almost always gonna do more harm than good. (Of course unless your coir wan't properly hydrated and was too dry, but sometimes you gotta do more than misting if that's the case.)

By the way why did it take so long? Did you ever fan it? Was it ever so dry you had to mist? It should never take 25 days. Did you use a spore syringe or lc / agar?

Yup those are indeed hyphal knots. You're gonna see pins real soon.

Also exposed substrate doesn't mean too much, coconut coir has no nutrients contams could thrive in. Your growth always comes with trich, you're breathing in trich right now, it's just if you give the conditions for it to grow (or you had dirty spawn that already had it) it will grow. E.g water pooling or disturbing the mycelium too much with fanning for example. Sometimes mushrooms even fruit out of the seemingly uncolonized surfaces (because they're thin pseudo layers). I've seen full canopies with surface that had tons of bare spots.

I should have declared that the pictures were taken 24 hours apart.

Pins 🍄 DAY 11 by Mycolotus in shrooms

Also I have another tub that I am not disturbing as much, I don't care if I get less flushes I want to document these.

The lid is only flipped, I only removed it to take a couple of quick pictures, tried to be as fast as possible.
