r/northspore

I did a B/S 6 days ago on this 2 pound grain bag I see just a few grains that still need to be colonized. I have a 3 pound bag of substrate that should be sterilized it’s in the same type of bag that the grain is in but the seller didn’t seal the tops of the 2 substrate bags I have. When I get ready to spawn to bulk should I be worried about the open tops of the substrate bags? I can provide more pics of the substrate bags if needed but don’t want to move them around to much if not necessary. Ideally I would have liked to use my boomer bin I got from north spores but I feel like the bin is to big as I only have a 2 pound bag of grain and 2 3 pound bags of substrate I’m a first time grower so anything tips or advice is much appreciated

So I posted yesterday about my contamination in my all in one northspore bag. So I cut the bag in half and put the good side in 2 mason jars… take a look and tell me what y’all think.

Is this normal ?

Hey there this is my first northspore all in one bag. We are well over 2 months since inoculation, everything seemed normal at first I thought I had contamination and was shocked because I took all the precautions and kept everything very sterile. I only open the tub once every 10-14 days. But today I checked and there is a corner that just looks terrible and I’m afraid I may have ruined it somehow. It’s green oozing like wet black mold. But maybe I’m wrong and this is completely normal. I’m not sure and need help.

Mixed it up about a week ago, time to mix in tub? I don’t want to wait too long like before and have to fruit in bag

I think its ready to fruit how should I move forward besides the FAE?

2nd Flush of White Rabbit was a good one with the Boomr Bin

Thanks for all the advice

These are so damn easy to grow, delicious and insanely cool looking. I'm on a mission to make sure the world knows about these. Let me know if you have questions!

Quick follow-up to the first harvest posted 11 days ago. The initial flush took the lion's share of the canopy, but I decided to let the block ride completely dry without a dunk to test moisture retention and vigor.

​Flush two still pushed out solid coverage and kept the exact same wavy, saucer-like margin expression across the tub.

Really pleased with how resilient this genetic line is holding up through multiple runs.

Any advice would be appreciated, don’t want to start over if I don’t have to, should I try a bin instead?

Over the past few weeks, I colonized grain successfully and had to take a week out of town. Before I went out of town, I wasn’t sure if my grainspawn was going to be OK so I put it into substrate so that it can continue colonizing the substrate for the record. The grainspawn was completely colonized successfully. There is some slightly orange dots of liquid around parts of the substrate and I am not sure if it is contamination or metabolites/mycopiss

So these apes have been in fruiting conditions for about 2 weeks, the only requirement in barely scraping by with is heat(it’s a little cold in the apt.) But there are these tiny blue dots all over which I’m assuming may be bruising? I don’t know hlep this is my second grow

So one block is doing great yes I know now the SGFC method is better but anyway why can’t I get the other block to pin (hillbilly and B+) not sure which one is which is it overlay
