My first Mini-Mono tub *update* almost done-May 26 pics
    #14368788 - 04/28/11 06:57 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

I figured I'd give these mini-mono's a go....  have a few colonizing...  this one is a 19L Sterilite;

spawned with 3 qts of Golden Teacher (on wheat berries), to coir/verm with a bit of coffee grounds and gypsum...  spawned it 7 days ago...  checked it just now, and this is what it looks like......

I had to dab up some water droplets with a paper towel... 

Think I should fruit it??

Please don't dab uncolonized tubs.

How does it smell?

Then don't. It's that easy.

:whathesaid:

Also, did you notice that you have two small unblocked holes by the handles of the tub? I'd recommend cutting a hole in the lid & covering it w/ plastic wrap duct taped to the top of the lid. That way you can tell when it's fully colonized w/out exposing it to FAE. For next time. Don't do it now, lol

Give it another week, I say. More or less. 5-10 days.

Don't fruit it. Give it longer.

Thanks Doc_T...  shoulda went with my instincts...

@Todlow:  LoL!  thanks for pointing out those holes....  guess I missed them...  and I did have plastic wrap over the top, taped on...  but I removed it when I saw all of the water droplets on the surface... 

guess I jumped the gun... 

I just put the lid back on without the plastic wrap...  is that ok??

I meant a hole in the lid for light & viewport. I don't wrap my lids w/ plastic wrap & just cover the holes w/ duct tape. My lids are my GE spots for colonizing monos.

What type of tape is that covering your holes?

Also, I wouldn't recommend moving a colonizing tub until it's ready for fruiting. You'll cause the air to exchange too rapidly & CO2 levels will drop too low.

I had the wrap under the lid, so i could peek at it without giving it fresh air...
and the tape is a double layer of micropore tape..

oic...hmm. Next time, def. cut the hole in the lid before you spawn to bulk. It'll help a lot, I bet. I like my tubs to get some indirect light when colonizing.

IDK about micropore tape on a colonizing mono. Seems like it'd get wet from the condensation, which wouldn't be good.

hmmmm...  so duct tape is better??  i figured micropore would be ok for GE...  and a double layer wouldn't allow for too much...  moisture seems pretty good..  doesn't feel light at all...

Thanks for the advice...  think i should fruit it once the surface is totally covered?

yea, you're probably going to see pins soon though, as you introduced so much FAE & cleaned off the surface of water...evaporating water from the substrate is a huge pinning trigger. It happened to me on my first bulk run. I kept handling my tubs too much & caused early pinning due to too much AE

No need to dink around with tab.
Build the tub, pop the whole thing in a plastic bag. Don't seal it, just fold it over.

I saw it, just seems like taking the lid off would move the plastic wrap a bit, well at least more than just peeking in through the top.
