This is my first attempt at using grains and doing casings.Started out with 2 jars of popcorn inoculated with around 4cc of spore solution each.I had used most of the colonized popcorn to try my first G2G,popcorn to rye,100%success,but what I had left over ,,which wasn't really that much at all,,,is what I used for this casing,had a depth of around a 1/4 inch of popcorn,used a 50/50 mix of coco core and vermiculite,top and bottom,not sure how much,not very much. Incubated for 3 days,when I took it out of incubation I lightly re-cased,misted and placed into fruiting chamber.Temp is 60-75....Hum is 75-90.....Noticed first pins,Apr 16th.

Yeah that looks really good.

So the substrate is straight p'corn, right? Can you tell me how big the tray is and how much weight you get when the flush finishes?

[Dr.Hallucination]

The measurements of the tray are 9x13x2.5 with a total casing depth of 1,1/4inches,this includes the top and bottom 50/50 mix,Not very much at all...and yes Dial8,will post first flush results.

Well,,,since I wasn't even really expecting anything to happen with it at all because of how little was put in...And it my first try and all...So...I'm not expecting any thing from a second flush either.

[Dr.Hallucination]

Well,I didn't wait until the first flush was completely finished,I picked 60g wet on the 19th,to make some tea,was very nice.On the 22nd I cleaned it,another 70g wet.130gwet total first flush.
