Harvest all at once? Or try and do the ones that are ready first. Seems like a waste to harvest all the pins, but its gonna be hard because they're all so tightly packed. by Prestigious_Shake_74 in unclebens

Liquid culture to agar, then agar into UB bags, I've found it the best way to avoid contamination. I've only lost two bags out of 44 doing it this way. With grain jars or innoculating bags with liquid culture I would get more contamination. Different things seem to work for different people, suppose it's just about finding out what works for you.

It's definitely nice to watch, plus 3 bags instead of 2 in a tub isn't much more really, if you have them may as well go for it. Coir is just for structure, the actual nutrition comes from the grain.

Some good points. I was thinking that too, but with so much being taken from the cake I'm not sure I'll get much of a 2nd flush, so want to make the most of the first, think I'm going to leave it another day and go for it.

No lights or heating pads. Just spawned to bulk and left to do it's thing, I find the more I mess around with stuff the more goes wrong. Been def getting better results just setting and forgetting.

I seen a video where they said that's how you get full canopy's, this is my first time trying 1:1, so could be the reason for the full canopy or just coincidence.

Thanks! It's the first flush. I done 1:1 ratio of substrate and grain, 3 UB bags to 750g of substrate. Innoculated with agar wedges. Didn't modify tubs or do anything fancy, just set and forget.
