@big_henry please share photos of your problem on Discord or Reddit? I'll check them out and hope we can save some of your cakes; and figure out what's causing the problem to avoid mistakes in the future
@John the principle of PC fan in monotub the same a ceiling-mounted exhaust fan in your bathroom. The PC fan works by PULLING the air up instead of the PC fan blowing air into the tub. So that it pulls old air out of the box while force the fresh air to be pulled in through the air vents, which is protected with polyfill/synthetic filters/sponge where it can be filtered.
@Mr OCd it depends on the sclerotia species, the speed of colonization and the speed of sclerotia growth. To be sure of the results, I'd recommend waiting 3+ months AFTER COLONIZATION
I've followed the tips in this article. Unfortunately I lost 2 cakes to aggressive overlay, 1 cake to contamination, and it looks like I'm going lose 2 more :( Live and learn. The last set of 2 has just come back with a vengeance. Oh well. Maybe I should stick to spores instead of LC.
Would love to see your mushroom growing bins. Been hit and miss with me and it would maybe help me figure mine out so I don’t get so many failures. My email is jeff@satterthwaite.com
"You can harvest one jar in 3 month, another jar in 6 month or even in 1 year." - Does this mean after innoculation or colonization.. I have a bag that I inoculated with LC 3 months ago and I dont want to accidentially open it too early!
thanks for the info I'm cultivating this strain in combination with some golden teachers for my very first grows.This post had a lot of useful information im going to try and cold shock my tubs into pinning with some 20 hour light and some ice packs
maybe look in to that blanket thing that was mentioned
These need more fae and light than cubes to reduce overlay. These will probably always make some overlay but can be reduced. But the mushrooms tend to be tough and useually manage to poke through the overlay and fully grow. I use grow bags for these. But i had to get a hole punch and make 4 punches and 8 holes total about an inch above the sub in each corner of the rectangular bag. Then on the opposit side of the filter patch. I put 2 punches which equates to 4 holes total. Put micropore tape over all the holes and give them plenty of light as soon as theres a decient amount of mycelium on the top of the cake. Adding fae and more light made less overlay and less noodely mushrooms. They stopped collapsing under their own weight, wernt super lumpy anymore and grew thicker healthier stems after i made those 2 changes.
I have the yellow liquid, it happened after my first flush. Will, actually my wife did the first flush. And she was very rough with the cake. In fact, she broke it in half. Could this be the cause of this yellow e substance
@Robin Yes, USED coffee grounds, right from the pot of done coffee!
Coffee grounds are initially too acidic for mushrooms to grow on, and the brewing process cuts down the acid.

@Joe yes, dry shrooms first! Otherwise, fresh mushrooms cause honey fermentation

So if I want to store my grow in raw honey should I dry them first or can I place them fresh picked straight into the honey

Fork it like a tractor
Is this overlay? Growing first time I have no idea whats going on
I used fork to kinda rip along top of cake to expose more space to grow

I'm interested about pc fan on the top.
It's just a hole for the fan or filter used too between the the hole and pc fan?
Thanks

I inoculated whole oats in a bag a few days ago with Amazonian and have seen 0 signs of life. Should i increase ambient temperature? It is cold in the house, so my only theory is low temp

My first grow, I was meant to be doing neglect tek but I’m pretty sure it started forming overlay
