here's an update on how the tubs are doing, since this is my first time I'm not 100% on identifying knots and primordia formation

i hope i see pins soon! there seems to be alot of metabolite build up. i've been fanning & misting only 2x a day, approx 12h apart and placing crumpled wax paper over the surface.
box #1:

box #2:

think this box is ready to fruit?:

oh and off topic, but looks what I found at the local farmers market

your first two pics are metabolites. maybe not enough fresh air.
the second is some weird mycelium, looks infected, but you'll know in a few days.
put holes in the plastic sheet, or just fan it out ~3 times a day.

ok cool thanks for the speedy reply, I've moved the plastic over so there's a nice slot for FAE

what is it about the second box that makes you believe theres an infection? i'm curious to learn how to "read" the mycellium but at this point most of the boxes look the same to me lol...

I agree with k00laide, that 3rd tubs myc. looks a little funny. The top 2 are definitely loaded with metabolites; I would guess your tubs are a little too wet and is why you are seeing pooling and metabolites like that. Definitely get that FAE up.

hmmm okay I hope it turns out to make it
been focusing on giving the tubs a good fanning 3-4x a day and misting only in the morning
i'm getting nervous, the tubs have been in the FC for a week now and I still don't see pinning

Just let them be and they will be. The first time I went through the whole process I was nervous around every bend. Give it time. Next time I would let the tubs colonize and consolidate till they show signs of either knots or pins.

I'm hoping the next run will go better, and probably faster if I start with an LC instead of MS syringe.
Am I dealing with any "overlay" with my tubs? I've been doing mad amounts of reading trying to figure out the best thing to do, but not experienced enough to tell whether its myc continuing to colonize or overlay
I've been noticing small pools of metabolites and I've been just tilting my tubs in different directions until the substrate has reabsorbed the metabolite moisture. I figured this would be better than attempting to wick up the excess?

Your next time should definitely go better. This round you have learned a lot and have gone through the motions so that next time you will be able to make adjustments. LC batches should definitely go by faster,I have found that a straight water LC is the best way to go.
I don't think your dealing with overlay but can't be 100% sure, from my experience reading overlay is pretty rare and doesn't come around too often.
Personally when my tubs get metabolites like that I start to soak them up with the corners of paper towels. For me metabolites always indicate too moist of conditions.

the window the MSG's are sitting next to is half open (not the half nearest the tubs) so there is some air flow. hygrometer right next to the MSG has been right around 60% these days.
i've been placing the crumpled wax paper over the substrate to keep local RH% high.
hopefully these conditions are ideal for a MSG tub, i've been leaving the shelves mostly uncovered to get good FAE w/o noticing a drop in RH%.

thanks guys! i'm soooooo excited
Had this posted over at the contamination forum but wasn't getting any responses...
MS syringe of Equador inoculated in WBS and spawned to Coir/Verm/Coffee MSG tub
Been bagged up and sitting waiting for 100% colonization before fruiting, noticed weird yellow fuzz today.
I don't have much experience, but this didn't look like the metabolites in my other tubs so curious to see what this is and if I can fix it with H2O2 if it indeed is a contam
tub #3

Still got that question unanswered, but here's some pinporn from tub #1 third day of fruiting


largest fruits in the tub so far:

a baby pin next to slightly more mature fruit:

pin just started, about 3mm in diameter:

Hey Neuron, not sure I can help you out with the possible contam problem with tub #3. However I am very excited for you, it's always awesome to start seeing pins poppin up. Looks like some of those tubs are going to push out side pins like crazy; I wouldnt worry but next time definitely use a trash bag. Same thing happened to me my last go around with the MSG, side pinning isn't too bad just a pain in the ass. Also looks like some of those caps might be a little too moist but I could be wrong; with the metabolites and moist looking caps I'd def say cool it on the misting for a couple days just so the tubs dry out a little. Keep those updates rollin brother!

cool thanks for the pointer, check out the dimpled cap few pix down, is that what you mean?
man the rate of growth when fruiting is so fun, every morning feels like christmas morning

looks like tub #3 (still colonizing in closet) got hit with trich, the yellow funkiness has taken on a shade of green 
but good news, I woke up to this today

looks like somebody had a wet dream last night...

veils broken, others starting to split.... harvest time!



1st flush: 76.1g (wet)
some other good news, saw my first pin in tub #2 today:
