Double Tub Slow growth.
    #14455327 - 05/15/11 08:55 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I spawned 2 quarts of rye to about 5 quarts of poo/coir substrate on May 10th. I checked the tub today and the growth seems to be moving rather slow, the temps are holding at a steady 68 - 72.

I would attribute this to the amount of spawn used; however, on the 13th I found that the mushroom smell in the room that they're in was very prevalent.  So I checked on them, the duct tape that I had used to seal the two boxes on top of one another was coming off, due to the humidity in the tub. So I re-taped the boxes to ensure that is was a air tight seal.

The myc that is poking through the top layer of substrate is really thick and clumpy, but only in a few select areas. I'm hoping that the mushrooms did not start to pin because of the FAE, due to the tape coming off. I don't want to open the tub and endanger the myc, but I don't want to have pinning mushrooms and not know about it. I can't see what's going on underneath the layers because there is a trash bag obstructing my view.

I would have taken I picture, but the texture of the box itself blurs the image. So I drew a picture of what it looks like. Should I just wait it out?

No, it's not completely air tight, I follow Cariltos Tek. The top hole are covered by a trash bag, and the lower holes with the poly-fill are exposed. I was talking about the seam between the top and the bottom tub. BTW What is GE?
