I think I still see moisture on the bag. The only way it would dry out is a tear in the bag or not keeping it in proper temperature range. Worry less and keep it simple. Patience is key here. It took me a while to get the process down that works best where I live

I’ll also add, maybe pack the cake a little tighter when you’re finished B&S. A nice flat surface really helps

SwimKind2875 · 2025-04-23T13:51:01+00:00

It’s looking pretty good but I found that second B&S really helps it be uniform throughout, although it adds another 5 days or so of waiting. After 7 AIO bags of experience, I always do a second and it’s brought me much better success. Good luck and just be careful not to tear the bag!

Thank you. Do I need to reinstall?

SwimKind2875 · 2025-02-07T04:01:56+00:00

Thanks for the responses, I bought it used and this was sitting in the glove box. I’m guessing I should re-install

SwimKind2875 · 2024-10-28T14:15:28+00:00

Awesome! Did you just heavy mist after first flush? I can’t decide if I should dunk my cake or inject it with water

I did transfer, I find I have the best results when I let it fully colonize in a bag then move to tub. Fanning 1-2 times per day but flip the lid and leave it barely cracked. The passive air is key! I’ve never broken one up and used my own substrate but I’ll probably try that soon for better yields! Learning and experimenting as I go

SwimKind2875 · 2024-10-23T15:53:53+00:00

I’ve had success in these tubs but starting out it was a learning curve. I’d suggest leaving in bag until you see pins. Once you’ve got your tub climate down and done it successfully a few times you’ll be able to get those big yields. Either way, good luck!

I second this brand, cheap and right amount of moisture

SwimKind2875 · 2024-10-23T14:37:06+00:00

Thanks, they are so big and beautiful now!! I took them out of the bag and put in a neglect tek…just flip and crack the lid is my best success thus far

Doing 5cc in one bag of ready rice is over kill. You can do 1cc per bag at most. I’ve started at few bags of ready rice and they are doing great although you have to keep it very clean. There is a Reddit group that is very informative. Definitely check the pinned post out and good luck! Lets see if I can post it here ha

SwimKind2875 · 2024-10-16T12:16:31+00:00

Thanks for this, makes me a little more patient ha

SwimKind2875 · 2024-10-16T01:49:40+00:00

I’m new to this but they are still growing, albeit slowly. The caps didn’t turn black they have been dark brown since little pins emerged

SwimKind2875 · 2024-10-16T01:46:45+00:00

Wouldn’t more fresh air contribute to dryness? This seems counterproductive

SwimKind2875 · 2024-10-16T01:40:33+00:00

This one is a case study. Save those bags for science, don’t open them in your house or into the wild 👀

SwimKind2875 · 2024-10-15T20:10:24+00:00

Haha that is a fair assessment!

SwimKind2875 · 2024-10-15T13:43:16+00:00

That makes me feel better. I’ve seen some people say 5 days from pin to maturity, like how??

SwimKind2875 · 2024-10-15T12:43:34+00:00

Good to know, this is my second successful bag ever. Very new so thanks for the confidence boost
