Right now, no.

This is my only monotub so I figured that if I don't run a fan it would be best for colonization.

I'm planning on running a ceiling fan and a high powered small fan to circulate the air once I fruit, but for now I'm going to keep the air still.

I have an old house, so I'm sure there's enough draft anyway.

Should I do different?

Also, my pasteurized cvg colonizes in roughly the same amount of time.

no u don't need a fan during spawn run.  and i don't even run a fan anymore when fruiting, i crack the window a little.  just base it all on ur top hole evaporation size

Started fruiting today. Going to post pics of my dry circles once the air has a few hours to exchange, just to make sure my air exchange is up to par.

For those of you that haven't been growing contaminants, how long until you start to see pins from the day you start fruiting?

As far as lighting goes. I have tried using artificial light 12 on 12 off a day and just used indirect sunlight from my window, but haven't noticed a difference.

I've seen a few posts relatively recent saying that a few minutes of direct sunlight a day really helps with fruiting. What do you guys think about that?

i fruited with regular incandescents and now use 6500k cfl and a room with a window giving indirect sun.  have not noticed a difference :shrug:  but then again, i never ran a test with isolates, so could be the culture talking
pins can take up to 10 days sometimes, esp.  if u mistakenly put tub into fruiting a little too early (i used to do that a lot)

A week ago I did a test where I left a petri open in front of my flowhood for 15 minutes to test my flow's efficiency.

I also left a petri open air in the room for about 15 seconds to see what grows on it.

Nothing on either so far, and like I said, it's been a week.

No pins yet on the fruiting monotub but it's been only 3 days or so since I fruited it.

Still no pins.

I might be having a problem with FAE.

My dry spots around my top holes are not as big as I think they should be. I even have one hole completely empty and the dry ring isn't very big.

Could be due to temperature fluctuation. It's been getting pretty warm during the day and a little chilly at night. I haven't been using central air or heat since it's been pretty comfortable regardless of the temperature.

So far nothing has germinated on the open petris I left out. It looks like some bacteria may be about to grow on the one I left in open air for 15 seconds. A few small perfect wet circles have appeared.

No green anywhere, I'm happy about that.

Except one of my master jars got hit with green. Not sure how but it happened.

Everything else is going well.

Pictures are sort of irrelevant since there's not much going on, but at least you can see in the first one how my dry spot looks around the top hole. You can barely see the bottom of the hole at the top of the pic.



And here's a closeup of the substrate surface.



How does it look to you guys?

Also, I haven't been misting the surface, it seems there's enough water there anyway. I have been fanning a couple of times a day.

dont mist and don't fan.  it looks really good right now.  keep both top holes really loose till u see the pin set, then take one out.  the evap ring around the first picture looks fine.  u just gotta wait it out.  how long has it been in fruiting, and do u have a fan in the room?

Nope, no fan running. Should I?

Fruiting for 5 or 6 days now.

try it with the fan and both top holes loose.  u want the fan in the room just circulating the air, not pointing at or even really near ur tubs.  just helps get stale air outta the tub, slowly but surely.  i point mine at the ceiling.  i want to mount it high on the wall soon, and just point it forward on low, so the air streams weakest point is gently hitting the top holes.

Thank you, I'll get a fan going in there.

Hope to see pins soon!

don't worry u will.  just takes time, prob see knots in 2 more days i bet.  just keep an eye on the top hole evaporation, keep it like it is.  how are the bottom holes looking?

Got those little white specs coming in that turn into pins. I think they're called primordia, or maybe it's called knotting. Anyway, it's looking nice. Around day 10 in fruiting.

Knotting is the little white specks.  Primordia are when they start to look like mushrooms:  you can see a cap and a stem, but the whole thing is still white and it isn't very well defined.  After that is a pin, which has coloration in the cap but it isn't any wider than the sides of the fruit.

Glad you're finally getting results!  :thumbup:
