So this time around, I've mixed things up a bit. First, I added ½" polyfilled holes high up on the short ends of the lids and may end up adding some smaller holes lower on the long sides if needed. Then, I cut back the amount of water in my coir again. This time, I used 4qt of water to 1lb of dry coir. And finally, put the tubs right into fruiting instead of covering for colonization.
I also did some mild experimentation with the sub. It's mostly coir, but I also added some used bark chips and pumice pieces from repotting some orchids, as well as using about 8oz of a 2mo old batch of organic fertilizer I use in my little raised bed. It's all worm/bat/kelp based, and I boiled it with the water before hydrating/pasteurizing my coir.
So far, these tubs are looking great. They are about 5 days in and starting to knot up a bit. The far left is from what I've been calling my EQ isolate lineage (probably not a true isolate yet), the middle is the B+ that I started from some dried gills, and the far right is a clone from a mushroom with an interesting bell shaped cap.
The pic of all 3 was taken about 16hrs ago. And the individual pics should be in order from left to right.
