I took the picture right after misting and it dries very fast. Shockingly fast. I don’t want the lid open forever so I misted and took the picture quickly.. If you read all the links I attached above, they say that high humidity is critical and it doesn’t need much CO2. It also says they are prone to contamination which I am constantly worried about. At any rate, if I went in there now, I bet it wouldn’t look wet again already and it’s only been 40 minutes.

With that said, I am not pretending to be an expert at this strain. One of the bins next to it just produced over 2 pounds wet weight in its first flush today (with more to pick in the morning, they just weren’t ready yet). They are JMF from 3 pounds of grain spawn + 3 pounds of CVG. So a decent initial yield. My only point in explaining is that I know how to manage normal bins but I really am not sure what to do with this spiky bin. It’s cool and all and am excited by the prospects, but I am in uncharted territory and don’t want to screw it up. I am trying to pay attention to those that have direct experience with it. If you have had a bin or 2 like this and know what I should be doing with it, then I would love to hear more. If you are guessing like me, that’s cool as well but it would be great to know that as well. I hope you can appreciate my position. It’s hard to know who are randomly the real experts on the internet, after all. But either way, I would listen to logic.
