outdoor Tub watering questions

meanman420 · 09-06-08, 15:30

I had a bag of supercake mix that I put too much LC in and it got wet spot while recovering from a knead so I took this tub and crumbled the substrate into it covered with 1/2 inch of moist fine grade verm and covered that with sun bleached grass clippings and spayed it to just get it moist not soaking wet.I also drilled a bunch of little holes in the bottom and 8 decent sized holes in the sides after I covered the bottom with duct tape.It has been sitting in a very well shaded area for a while and took quite some time to for these shrooms to grow to the size they are at.Temps between 67 and 90.I was wondering how I should go about watering these without getting aborts and also was thinking of casing with a 50/50 of worm castings and strw and was wondering ifI could do these after the first flush?

I just use a garden hose with a fine mist from the sprayer from about 5 feet back to water an outdoor tub.

don't case with substrates, case with verm or something , straw and earthworm castings are just food! it will beef your bed up in the long run though! if you're trying to expand it.

Isee LOTS of pins in those pics, that i can make out, mist from far away and wait a few days! So i'd just leave it alone if it were mine, other then watering.

I dont have a fine mist sprayer for the hose but I guess I could use a spray bottle.Those pins have been there for like 3 days or so and they are growing but not verry fast at all.I wonder what is making the slow growth.
