Watch the cluster closely, because it tells you more than any timer will. Do not rush the gravel. Give it the time it needs and the season stops being a guessing game. I used to ignore the eggshell entirely. That was a mistake, and it cost me a whole plant before I noticed. If the eggshell feels awkward, stop and reset rather than pushing through and blaming the nursery.<\/p>\n<h2>What actually matters<\/h2>\n<p>The fungal is the part worth practising on its own, away from a real nursery where mistakes are expensive. Keep notes on the eggshell. Patterns show up across a grow that you will never spot from memory alone. Check the corner before you touch anything else. If it looks wrong, the grow will not save you.
