12th Day of Mono Colinization UPDATED w/ FULL TUB PIC
    #13115910 - 08/28/10 07:14 PM (13 years, 6 months ago)

1 brick of coir
6 quarts of wbs
1 quart of verm

It's been colonizing for 12 days.. I figured it would have been ready by now but it's looked this way for the past 4 to 5 days.. doesn't seem to be wanting to finish up.

It's been closed the whole time ( these pictures are through the side) Hygrometer reads 99% and temp is around 80 F.

Comments? Suggestions?

There is a considerable amount of coir showing still, in my opinion.

What kind of tub where you using.  It almost looks like you were not getting enough GE.  Can you take better pictures ??  What I mean by that is better lighting.

It's a clear, like 64L rubbermaid. I don't know why it wouldn't be getting enough GE. Followed the steps I did last time and I have full colonization in about 10 days.

The tub is covered in condensation. That's why I had to take that angle of picture.. I didn't want to open the tub.

ahh  I would crack the lid for a few seconds then cover it back up and wait another 2 days or so and see if anything happens.  It will either start to colonize again and or pin.  If it starts to colonize again that means you were not getting enough GE.  But I have actually fruited mono tubs that were less colonized then that.

My plan was also to case it once it got colonized. Do you think maybe remove the polyfil would get the colonization started again?

I would not completely remove the polyfill cause then it would start to pin cause then you would be getting to much FAE and not GE.  You can take some of the polyfill out and or don't pack the holes so tight.

I'm just afraid that since it's not colonized fully I am opening it up to contams by fruiting it.

Coir and verm doesnt really contaminate that easy usually if coir contaminates it is because your spawn was bad.

Well.. another note.. the tub is covered by a blanket to keep light from getting to it. Could this be a problem with the polyfil and GE?

It's possible if your polyfill is to tight and you have a blanket over it, then it is a double whammy.  Also there is no need to hide colonizing jars and tubs from light.

Word, I'll take the blanket off and loosen the polyfil then give it a couple days and see if I can get it to show any progress.

If they dont start to colonize then fruit them you will get at least one good flush out of it.

I think I'm going to case it as well because last time I got heavy side pinning.

Side pinning is because of the lack of a liner in the tub
