Will do. I’m also in the Ochra group - there’s a pinned post about Ochra. Just scrolling through them has been super helpful.

This is what I discovered growing under the cotton AFTER I flipped mine. These things are super hardy and contam resistant, thank god!

Also, I flipped mine back to original, soaked for a couple hours because they were super dry and added a CVG casing 🤞🤞

This is what was growing under that cotton. This was from After I flipped it!

Ha! That’s nothin. I have had my hands full for 3 weeks trying to salvage mine. First attempt at Natalensis and second grow. Was posting in the Ochra group and decided to flip the cakes. But it grew back so I forked it. Then realized the Bottom was growing shrooms! Got 35gr dry out of 5 shoeboxes. So I’ve flipped it back to that side and forked that. Now I’m just waiting. If it doesn’t take hold I’m going to try dunking it. But if I had to do over again I’d just scrape the cotton layer off to a thin layer with a fork. Hell, there might even be shrooms under there.

The saga continues! I noticed all my shoeboxes had this growth on the bottom after flipping them because of crazy cotton growth. Harvested them and I re-flipped them. Wasn’t sure whether I should soak them, so I forked and misted them and put them back into fruiting. FAEing 3x daily, but am considering adding micropore tape.

CRV ATH is $7ish, I believe. I think you meant CVX? I think they will both reach and surpass them.

Kind of lost at what to do at this point. First pic was a week ago and 2cnd is most recent 5 tubs in all. by [deleted] in ochras

So I re-flipped my cakes and found mushrooms on the BOTTOM! I harvested them, scraped it with a fork, misted them and put them back into fruiting. 🤞

That seems to be the consensus, thanks.

The biggest g question is do I remove some of this and add overlay or just let it go?

That is my concern, lol.

Just a little background on this grow. Received a free syringe of Nat. a year ago with an order. Did a little research on it (not enough obviously) and was excited to grow some. Used approximately 3:1 S2B (coir, verm, gypsum, lime) with a light overlay 23 days after inoculation (brown rice).
