wait a week after full colonization of the surface of the substrate jar, birth, dunk 24 hours and roll in dry vermiculite. (DNR Tek) or crush ths cakes up and spawn to coir

the benefits of this method is that the vermiculite creates an environment/climate that is beneficial to the primordia. Sort of like a casing layer on a bulk substrate. (micro-climate) so to say. This satisfies the thriving primordia (pins).
