Time to fruit mono-tub??
    #12541788 - 05/11/10 07:25 AM (14 years, 8 months ago)

ok so this is my first attempt at a mono tub after many successful runs with PF-Tek.

The complete top and sides of my tub look to be fully colonized. Most of the bottom is white aswell, insept for a large circular area.

The top appears to be showing very small pins, should i fruit it at this point before waiting for the bottom to colonize?
(by fruit I mean allowing fresh air exchange, which i blocked for colonization period) 

Heres a few shots of the top:

wait for the whole tub to colonize first. Most people let it go for at least a few days after that in order for the myceluim to consolidate the substrate...it gives better results.

If you open it up to look at it too much then it will pin because of the fresh air you let in. You don't want to fruit it until it completely colonized because you can get contamination very easily on uncolonized substrate. One you fruit it the mycelium starts putting most of it's energy towards producing mushrooms and slows down colonization.

I have never opened it once since i made it, its been sealed with a few holes for gas exchange. The container is clear, so that's how i know whats going on in there lol.

Edit: I forgot to mention, the sub is 100% coir.

cool, hopefully it will colonize quickly cause it does look like that puppy is starting to pin.
