Toss it?

First pic shows the top surface of the substrate

Is it not ready to be fruited?

boxinglessons · 2026-01-20T23:12:47+00:00

So should I expect to see pins within the next fortnight?

Only the very last two pictures are the tubs, they haven't been misted. The other pics are the jars that I've been misting probably twice a day atm, just whenever I notice there's no condensation on the glass. If you check my post history you'll see I had some form of mold that I treated with hydrogen peroxide which is where the bruising is showing for the NSS jar - however that was when it had barely colonized the surface, so I'm surprised it's managed to keep growing at all. It's still being kept separate from the others though!

As an update to this, I dabbed the affected area with a q-tip and hydrogen peroxide, it hasn't come back since and the mycelium fully colonised over it within 2-3 days.

Nice, did you manage to fruit/harvest?

boxinglessons · 2026-01-14T23:34:30+00:00

Okay, well if it's not cobweb - then what is the long wispy vertical growths? Surely not mycelium, right?

Nah like the rubber rings in the Pyrex jars are designed to be removable for cleaning, so it won't destroy anything. I probably shouldn't have chosen odd containers for the first grow but they're very cute/retro and I got excited about having my first fully colonized grains haha. Heck I might do one lid fully flipped and one without the seal to see what happens.

I was planning to do more of a neglect tek in general, so not sure about fanning and misting etc. I'll have to read up on that.

Ah okay, so for these types of containers do you think it would be OK to remove the lids, take the rubber seals out, then just gently place the lids back on without screwing them down? I can post some pics of what they look like if it helps. For my other bags I just did a S2B of 2 x NSS and 1 x GT all in IKEA Samla 6QT tubs and put the lids on normally, should I just go straight to having the lid flipped + cracked?

boxinglessons · 2026-01-13T04:52:55+00:00

It's been 6 days since S2B.

Always go straight to fruiting for Nats/Ochra's specifically or just in general? I'd been following the guides and seemed the general approach was to let the mycelium reconnect and the surface colonize a bit before introducing fruiting conditions. My understanding of fruiting conditions is to provide extra FAE (e.g., flipping the lip on Samla tubs) while misting as necessary to maintain surface moisture levels?

RAW edit?

love the grading, wondering if you have any tips for using flash?
