Hey soz for leaving you hanging so long, internet connection has only just been repaired...

Es, the specific temperature is not of such importance, a stable temperature is.... So, pick one and stick with it.
ndanger needs to add another half cc of spore solution to the jars not doing anything, make sure to shake the syringe well first.

AI, a couple of interesting things you put out there for me to try, thanks.

Thanks man and good to hear from ya. The ambient temp in the closet is 79F 80% of the time making the tub temp that the jars are in about 81F. Sometimes if I leave the bedroom door open and it gets a little more ac the closet temp drops to 77 20% of the time but my growth is looking good and clean. What do you think about what IS said about cells dieing after 25 days cuz I may have to wait a total of 5 weeks til I'm ready to fruit.

Erm, no I suggest one does the dunk, dry off and roll (don't try to roll a wet cake its like putting lipstick on a hippo), but this only applies to PF tek.

Then again you are doing a bulk tray so there is no chance to realy dunk the tray safely. You can top up with distilled water an equal weight in water to the weight of your wet harvest., maybe 10 percent less... Just pour over very gently and let it drain in. High level of fresh air exchange is then needed to make sure molds etc wich will be present on top of your tub don't get a leg up. Stale damp environments are bad.

Oh yeah you asked about the strain, it is cambo's, tough fuggers and very pretty in early stages, amazingly woody stipes (mushroom stems), which feel more like solid branches then fungi. I'm sure they will upset the stomach quite a bit. The reason one cooks mushrooms of the potable varieties is to convert the tissue into a form that is actualy accessable to our digestive systems. There is something like a 35% increase in nutrients when a mushroom is cooked. Lol, I guess its a little unnessecary information but still interesting, but to bring it back to where I begun, I would prefer eating only the caps on these. The only reason I grew them out to that size is because it is for trading, more weight means more trades... and just check how nicely blue they bruise...

I am a bit confused once again. I was going to do the 5 gallon bucket pasturization method and layer the wbs on the trash bag in my tub with the poo mix and spray the sides with spring water and wait for it. That's what our tek says to do am I correct?

yep, follow the tek to the T. I didn't even need to mist or anything, if anything my pooh was a little too wet when I made the tub. I will now for the second flush add moisture via the air.

By the way, would I just need to inoculate a half cc onto one inoculation hole... as I see it impossible inoculate all 4 with just a half cc?

Cool. What do you mean via the air? are you saying mist the air around it and let it seep through the polyfill so you dont have to open the tub.

Um... half cc per jar... yes I know! But the question asked was do I only inoculate one hole in the jar?
What up IS? I know you asked anc the question but I would say yes with one hole and just shake it up a little. It's all going to the same place ya know? My bad it took me to long to type cuz some came to the door hence the edit.
