white trash bag to line monotub
    #11709884 - 12/24/09 01:03 AM (15 years, 27 days ago)

I made my first monotub a week ago and used a white trash bag to line it because the only black one I had was disgusting.  In retrospect I realize this was probably a mistake.  I won't be able to check on the tub for another week since I'm on vacation, but when I get back I plan on covering the outside of the tub with a black bag to try to rectify my mistake.  Is there a better option or should I just bend over and deal with side pinning?

if your monotub is not clear it should not be a problem

in all honesty you should still be fine.a white bag will still block indirect light, which, when direct even, is only a third or fourth pinning factor.i dont think it will make your sides pin enough to take away from overall growth and flush.

You will be fine. The bag blocks air to the sub more than anything because it sticks to the colonized sub. If you are that worried, have a good friend help you take the colonized sub block out in one piece and set it in a PMP. Then you will have pins all over it, top and sides and you will be able to harvest them all. Plus this gives you more fruiting surface.

Thank you.  I'm glad somebody understands this.  The color of the bag is irrelevant.  Light isn't what causes side pinning.  The air gap around the edges does, and it doesn't matter if the tub is black, white, blue or whatever. 

Light anywhere on a mycelial network will stimulate pinning anywhere else on the network where the conditions are right, and around the edges of a tub are the perfect conditions for pins to form.

the air gap around the edges does cause side pinning, this is true, as ive seen with unlined monotubs when the sub shrinks.
why though when i use a clear garbage bag instead of a black one in a clear tub, do i get mushrooms growing compacted in between the bag and the sub, even though there is no airspace?on the top and bottom?they look like invitro mushrooms they have so little room.
i never get this with black bags, and i thoroughly check all sides of each tubs contents before discarding.

well the blue container lets in blue light and the black bag stops it the clear and white plastic does not and light is also a important factor in pinning (make sense?)
