Case/monotub question
#14514143 - 05/26/11 08:41 AM (12 years, 9 months ago) |

I attempted to use the "Shroom Wizard's Grow Guide" (who happens to claim that this method is great for beginners) and followed procedure step by step, while implementing some techniques from other teks. I crumbled about four cakes, cased them, and waited. Patched a couple places, then noticed a mushroom growing on the side of the tub and on the bottom, underneath the casing. What the hell did I do wrong and will there be more mushrooms? There is no overlay so I think it's okay for now. This tek seemed easy enough, but I'm not sure it's all that great. Perhaps I need more patience.

the tek is terrible, and you didnt follow it precisely.
start some new cakes and PM me when you need to build a fruiting chamber.
we'll get you some mushrooms

Actually, I did follow it precisely, except when it came to keeping the jars completely sealed as he said (bc of gas exchange and such. But since you said the tek is terrible, that seems to be the flaw.

sounds like light is hitting the mycelium under the casing

Can anyone answer my question? I need to know if it will recover by placing the entire casing in a fruiting chamber of some kind. I already know the things that trigger pinning bc I tried cakes before, I just need to know if the myc in the casing is still okay.

not sure, yes maybe. hopefully
i answered what i thought you might have done wrong the first time
but this new question seems like it has a simple answer, but maybe im not getting it
you should leave it in the monotub as far as a FC goes
is there any specific reasons you would change the FC?

I guess I was asking another question..... anyway, to be specific, the casing is in a tub, now will it do me better to place that tub in a bigger tub so it can increase RH or what?

Does it let light into the bottom around the mycelium? If so you can cover it up with tape or paint the outside dark so light doesn't cause side pinning.

i would leave it in the tub it colonized in
the tighter it fits in that tub the more surface pinning youll have, no more side mushrooms(usually love side mushrooms, they only look a few inches tall, but then you find out its stemming from the center of the bottom of the sub, it makes it like 30" long )

I'll get it up in a bit.... btw, from what I researched, what I have going is not actually a monotub, per se. I only put that in the title to grab someone's attention.

Would it help if I put perlite in the bottom of tub B and placed tub A inside?

place fully colonized substrate into fruiting chamber.
if you dont know what fruiting chamber you should use, click the link in my sig titled PROPER SGFC

I didnt find the actual tek u used but a quick search came up with about 100 threads saying it was garbage. Search ohmatic monotub. He is the one who came up with the monotub. Do some research there's a shit ton of info on this site. Use it to you advantage. As far as your tray/tub not much u can do except see what happens. Good luck

tub a just needs holes drilled in it...
and the substrate isnt fully colonized.
you should wait before introducing fruiting conditions.

Thanks for the help, my fellow brethren. I'll read more and learn more. Just when I think I've read everything, more pops up and I think to myself, "WTH???".

No, not if you're trying to raise relative humidity in chamber A.
The problem could be so many things. How often do you mist/fan? What's your light cycle? 12 on, 12 off is best. Optimally you should use either 6500k bulbs or actual day light. I know you said you know the pinning triggers but a review never hurt anyone. Are you using a multi-spore inoculate? Because that's a roll of the dice, as you probably know. I remember RR saying one time that the number one pinning trigger is saturation (not overly so) of the mycelium, then evaporation due to fresh air exchange.
I hope I haven't missed the mark on what you're looking for. As far as a final answer to the question about the mycelium being ok, it's hard to say really because of the casing, but as long as it's not dried out and it hasn't produced mushrooms (not many anyway), then it still should be good. Maybe a dunking is in order...
Final words: Mist/Fan, Mist/Fan, Mist/Fan, and GL
