My first grow, I was meant to be doing neglect tek but I’m pretty sure it started forming overlay
Hi there guys! This is my first every grow, I was meant to be doing neglect tek but I’m pretty sure it started forming overlay. I initiated fruiting conditions today by opening up the lid, what are your thoughts on this tub?
Shroomok comment: It's not overlayed yet, but you are right mycelium need more fresh air to avoid overlay
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.
