hey peace frog , its hard to say why people have better luck with some mixes and
others fall short.

I had trouble with both coir and straw in the beginning. I now have
better luck with straw and coir after more work with them.

I have never used coffee
grounds but I am going to try.

I am going to try some straight straw grows, using cold pasteurization using hydrated lime or soap.

saving my coffee grounds for a grow.

Yea I hear what your saying. What works for some may not be the best way of cultivating for everyone else. I have tried (with cubes only) several different trials and teks with coir based substrate and never really had a great flush. I have read about some great flushes on coir including wharfrat's post that speak to the contrary of my experience. Just never found "my grove" with it so to speak.
I think you will like the straight straw grows. They can give you some great yields IME.

That's great I have a zombie tub pinning now. Had to do trich surgery on it but it looks fine now.

bummer on the trich, you definitely need more FAE . get more holes in the tub, especially at the sub surface, clear out the co2.

thats why i prefer the mist n fan

Very nice.

You can also add fret to your water. My last grow which can be read on here was similar.

Very good read.

How long after I case should I see start seeing pins?? Fruiting around 78 degrees

average 10 days, but up to 14, i've even seen 21 days.. just keep fanning 3 times a day, or more.. i mist once a day until they pin then twice a day, every other fanning in my case.

Great. so mist the sub 1xday and then once i see pins do i keep misting the sub or just the walls of the chamber? And also will the whole surface of the casing layer colonize with mycilium before fruiting really begins?

usually IMO the casing layer will not colonize, that's why we use a non-nutritive casing material.. it's strictly there to retain moisture. and yes i continue to mist the sub, and misting the mush wont hurt, just give them a good fanning after you mist.
