Nice!@DankTankerous. Since I'm definitely a NOOB at this, my question 2 you is why do you feel you started 2 early? You don't feel the colonization was done yet? Like instead of starting at 90-100%, you feel it was lower? Also, how would that contaminate? I'm sorry 4 all the questions, but I'm really trying to get my "learn on" so 2 speak. Your absolutely right about "Have Patience". I think I need to put that into practice more often. So, I haven't set up the incubator yet, nor have I done the tent. It was raining as if it was monsoon season n I totally wasn't in the mood 2 do any work as well as properly getting my work area sterile. I rather wait til I'm ready than to mess everything up due to laziness.(Did I mention I'm pretty lazy?) I guess I'll be getting all cleaned up n sterile b4 the day is over. Is the tub above the 6qt tub that your talking about? I've seen a vid I believe either on YouTube or Tapatalk n the dude was doing monotub tek w/o any holes or polyfill. He just used the cover of the tub n placed it on top of the tub as usual, but instead of locking it down, he left it loosely on top n was turning it clockwise exposing only the 4 corner of the tub to air n as the shrooms fruited, he continued to turn the top everyday or every other day exposing more n more of the corners. I'm nowhere near advanced for that, but I will eventually try that method to see if it's actually do-able. Thankx for letting me know that I should be able to stretch the bulk substrate with the pasteurized straw. I haven't ordered any bulk substrate yet, but I'm gonna have to order this week coming up. I plan on grabbing about 10llbs. of manure, a brick of coir, n about 3 gallons of vermiculite. Seems like all the vids I've seen with the brf tek, the shrooms grow better or more in abundance when their rolled in the vermiculite after birthing so I gotta make sure I have that on hand b4 my jars get that far. I believe it was you that said so, but I 2 would be happy with just 1 shroom n I would feel a major accomplishment if I can get the colonization part down pact! Everything, including a contamination is just another lesson learned. I welcome those as well as any success, cause then I'll know what not 2 do or where I went wrong. Ok, I think I talked a hole in your head already Dank. Also, your blue mystic is coming along lovely. I have a sour bubbly from mephisto, a Bubblicious, NY Diesel, n a LSD-25 that I'll take pics of later n post. Keep everything going n growing all n Thankx for allowing me 2 share!
