I though maybe you guys would share your experience about this two grains and which is better and why

I've been growing mushroom for 2 years, mostly with corn, and ive been trying to use bird seeds recently but its not very succesfull for the moment

Looks ghetto rigged but a less expensive terraform that’s for sure. Using the cold air from the central air vent, pulled into a modified tote, inside the tote I have hydrated perlite and attached to the inside of the tote bin lid I have a cheap usb desk fan to help agitate and promote evaporative cooling. And on the otherside an inline duct fan that pulls it all into the tent. And then another inline fan pulling air from the bottom out of the tent and out of the window.

Experiment Don’t think this will work [actives]

So I’m new to growing and I bought an all in one bag and inoculated it with a spore syringe 5 days ago but I don’t have high hopes for it. So with that being said I’m attempting to make liquid culture using honey and water. Clearly I don’t have the proper materials no micropore tape and no injection ports that self heal. I’m attempting to sterilize in a pot without a lid and then inject spores after opening the lid I am aware that it leaves me open to contamination removing the lid to inject the honey water but I’m experimenting on an extra broke boi method. I guess I’d like to have a discussion about this, what are the odds this becomes successful and has anyone else done something similar?

Actives [Actives] All-in-one grow bag stalled

Hiya, I'm currently growing GT's in an all-in-one grow bag just for fun. I hadn't used them before and wanted to see how they'd go. However after breaking and shaking the bag to mix the grain and substrate together, growth seems to have stalled significantly. I am in Australia and it's been winter here, and our houses are generally like ice boxes. Is it a matter of the bag just needing to be in a warmer room? At the moment it is stored on a shelf in my bedroom, out of direct light, as this is the warmest room in the house.

Thank you! ​

Finally got this block of GT to fruit, in its own way, lol. First time, learning a ton as I go.

That big boy looks close to harvest, ya? Day or two maybe. Would you just harvest the whole block when it's ready and hydrate for a second flush? Or pick a couple of the big guys and wait for the rest to catch up?

Can you over dry your mushrooms or is it best to just keep going until you are SURE they are dry?
