What would you do: wait or tub it?
    #10845419 -

The situation:

I have two 18-gallon tubs, all set to go (sterile/polyfil/bags/light).

I have the equivalent of 10 quart jars of WBS, 5 of B+ and 5 of Argentina. I plan to do one monotub for each strain.

I originally thought I would need less spawn, so 3 of the 10 jars were prepared and inoculated 5 days after the other 7.

All of the Argentina wbs jars colonized about twice as fast as all of the B+ jars. At this point, the 7 jars are each between 95-100% colonized. The ones that are 100% are in a sterile refrigerated container. They look okay, no piss but are very very dense with growth. The rest are waiting in the closet. The 3 "late" jars are about 50% colonized and have been shaken. They are also in the closet.

I'm going out of town tomorrow for 3 days, and will be working all day on the 4th day so can't do anything then either.

Should I a) just use the 7 colonized jars that I have and make the tubs tomorrow before I leave (coir/coffee/verm) - which would be 4Q B+ and 3Q Arg, I don't know if that's enough - or b) put all but the 50% colonized 3 in the refrigerator and wait until I get back to make the tubs or c) just leave them as is and wait until all are 100% after I get back to tub it?

Mostly I'm worried about the more colonized jars becoming TOO colonized while I'm away. They're in the dark so shouldn't pin, but this is my first grow by myself and I want it to be perfect. :smile:

I use 3 quarts for the same size mono all the time.  all your jars will be fine just leave em and continue where you left off when you get back.

I wouldnt have put them in the fridge unless you werent using them for weeks. 

the whole dark thing is outdated info.  all my and other TCs jars are in the light the whole time. 

they wont become too colonized. it just giving them time to consolodate, which is good if you have the patients/time.

I would just leave all of them right where they are and spawn them when you get back.  more spawn just speeds up colonization times.  I use 3 quarts and it takes 14 days to fully colonize, with more spawn it could be 7-10 day b4 its  fully colonized. 

your fine, let them do their thing.:thumbup:
