First tub has problems!!
#14342611 - 04/24/11 08:45 AM (12 years, 9 months ago) |

I made this tub using damion 5050 tek, with 4 quarts b rye grain, the tub was very bright white when I started fruiting, today is day 7, I have a tropic aire humidifier running in it as well as a hose for fresh air, both go through a filter and a fan that I cut on in the closet from time to time, on average probably 8 hours a day just for some extra air movement, I never turn off the pumps, temp runs between 75-80 and humidity is pretty stable at 90, it drops to about 75-80 when the extra fan is on but I mist when I turn the fan on and off to add some of that moisture back
My problem is that the myc on the very tips is turning a shade of yellow/white and I now see what I believe to be metabolites forming on some of the darker patches, but the droplets look a little more orange than yellow to me, there's also a little bruising prob from misting though I try to not spray at the surface, have I ruined my first tub? Will I even get a flush? Is there anything I can do to help it succed at this point or what? Any help is greatly appreciated, I've done sorta tubs before using 5 gallon buckets but this is my first time with an actual tub I hope I can still get a nice flush out of it I'm working on a pic but can't get it to upload

I'm curious as to why you're running hoses into a monotub? Folks here have said it a million times "set-n-forget neglect tek." A bit of fanning and misting should be plenty, assuming you can't get proper FAE and RH by just leaving the tub alone.
More details would probably help people diagnose your problems.

sounds like moisture overkill.
monotubs dont require any more that misting once in a while with a sprayer. not a humidifier. humidifiers are best used for green houses.

Yea the piping is totally unneeded, but Im sure you will still get at least one flush from this tub

I was using the air pumps because it's in a shotgun style tub, the rh was getting around 70 without the humidifier I was going to take it out as soon as I see pins, and I used a tube for extra air because it only has a few inches on either side of it before the closet walls, should I take both hoses out and just mist daily and leave the fan running in the far side of the closet? I like the set it and forget it idea but after growing herb I learned attention payed to fine details will make a great deal of difference if this is wrong and I've gone too far with this please let me know and I'll go back to the set and forget ideas, also in your opinion is the shotgun tub better or worse than a tub with only 4 larger holes? Thank you for the help and don't be afraid to tell me if any of those ideas suck I'm def a newb and I just want to treat the myc the best I can

If its a properly built sgfc then your humidity isnt 70% wat your problem is is that your hygrometer isnt calibrated properly

So I should get a new one and just set it and forget it? And pull out the extra air supply? Leave the fan in the closet?

a new one wat? SGFC? no. A hygrometer? NO just calibrate the one you got, but pull out the air supply and there is no need for a fan with a sgfc

Well the hygrometer I got is super cheap made for reptile cages so maybe I just need to update that, the tub my mono tub is in is a shut gun tub not a small mono inside a shotgun, and any tips on getting the picture upload to work I have a pic but couldn't manage to get it to upload, let me work on that now...

the two lines are my air and humidity lines with holes drilled in them, the gauges are a cheap temp and humidity gauge set for a reptile cage, you can see the holes drilled in it 1/4" holes every two inches has a blueish tint to the pic from the light but you can clearly see the yellowing and where its the darkest are the droplets of what i believe to be metabolites but not positive, ive never run across them before

Even the patches that look brown in that have white myc running through them, I didn't want it to start climbing walls, should I in the future wait until everything is thick white? Also from my experience if only a little is left uncolonized it generally fills in in the first week of fruiting before pins form but I may have still jumped the gun a day or two, my first tub I couldn't help myself haha

It could for a few hours, or in the garage for a day? And so mr helpful your saying it being not 100 percent colonized is causing my problems or are you just saying that for future reference?
Any other tips? Any bets on if I'll get anything? I love this strain I'd like to see somethin nice

just for future reference. Does it look like this? if it does, that's not a good sign. Sounds like you also need a real fc
