First Mono...
    #14436177 - 05/11/11 06:04 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Ok first time with grain and mono and everything has went amazing thus far... The only thing that is bugging me is the fact the caps look as if water has dripped on them and bruised them.



To me it looks like they are "melting" where the water dripped on them.

Do you think it's bacteria? I took the lid off and re washed it in soapy water and dried it with paper towels before I put it back on today.

I also found that there was a lot of aerial myc on the base of the mushrooms so I took some of the polyfill out to allow for more FAE. Good idea or not?

It looks like rot on the caps... are you over misting that mono?

I had a crop that was also super sensitive to water. I never did figure out wtf was going on. Any water at all that touched the fruitbody would instantly bruise it a very deep blue. I misted and it created spots that at first I thought was a contamn and then I realized the strangeness that was happening.

My only theory was that it was some kind of contaminate causing the condition.

No I have only misted it like 2 times since I have fruited it. There was a lot of water in the tub when I went to fruit it so I dumped it out but its still drying out... I have been fanning a lot... The spots are blue and I can tell it was from the lid before I washed it and dried it off because there were large beads of water on it before that...


Well it's AA+ so I guess I could see how they might be sensitive to water... I guess I will just have to see what happens now that I have dried the lid...

thats why you should always fan after you mist. you dont want caps and fruits to be wet, otherwise you can get bacterial growth on the caps.

if you mist, fan afterwords and that should dryu of any excess moisture

a little dehydrator burn like that is no big deal.

Ok... I picked a few more that were ready today. As I look at it more and more I just keep seeing tons and tons of more pins popping up! Monotub's are AMAZING!!!
