Also canndo told me that its not considered a casing unless there's nutrition in it. So did I case or did I not case canndo? You tell me. Now you really confused me.

Thanks I used a small layer of Coco and vermiculite. Also the coco inve been using I've pasturized over hydrated and squeezed out a few times now. Theres very little nutrition in this coco.
Just use vermiculite.. and dont expect huge flushes with multispore grows.. dont get me wrong, you can yeild alot, but a good mono culture is the way to go to have nice even gigantic flushes..

Honestly I'm just f****** around right now and I'm not expecting huge flushes by any means. I did it this way for a reason I made a lot of boxes using not much spawn in them. I did it this way for practice. Practice maintaining them. Also this way I have no problem throwing them away.

He said coir has to much nutrition.. you dont need nutrition in the casing layer.. the casing layer just allows more point for pins to form

I have invested absolutely nothing into this grow except some bird seed plastic tubs and some spores that I damn near get for free

1. The LACK of nutrition signals to the mycelium mass that it is running out of food, so it will begin to fruit in order to perpetuate its DNA through spors

So practicing with these shoeboxes one thing I really need to narrow down is why does a pin not fruit? I know it could be many things and i knowbits kinda normal for a few to do. My last shoeboxes I would leave the lid snapped on until they reach the top and then dub tub. Wondering if leaving the snapped still allows enough fae? My rh here is high about 70% wonder if unsnapping after pinning would be better. To much fae theyll dry out and die not enough theyll suffocate or rot from the moisture. See now theres a lot going on there scientifically right? But the answer can be something as simple as just unsnapping a corner oor not doing anything at all, or simply preparing it.
