my first mono tubs with pics...any advice is welcome

this is all from reading like a mad man on the shroomery for many months. im a noob at making posts, so respect my disability. any advice i could get would be greatly apreciated. ive never sucessfully use casing material other than vermiculite and im pretty sure im ready to give it a try, with some help. well[image]http://www.shroomery.org/forums/thumbs/11-23/743342711-thumb_2010-12-11_12-57- 56_343.jpg[/image],   this was my biggest success on poo so far.. i made a big poo patty with verma and treated it like a brf cake. it was spawned with popcorn... so i quit for a while.. now here is the new show that i need advice with..       ...so a question i know right now is.. i have some amjor condensation im my two monos..(first ones ever)so i opeded the lids for a lil bit as you can see.. is this ok to let them open like that.. it defeats the purpose of the tyvek.. how about my colonozation on them.. how many days should i wait to case or should i just do it the way i did my first one and just give it fruting conditions.. i have plentyof jiffy mix 50/50. i realy want to try it out.. i can pasturize it very easily.. sugesstions please

Looking good. Now if you are keeping all of your jars like that in a box, that is no bueno as the heat builds up and can cause contamination. remember that the mycelium produces heat and the internal temp of the jar is higher than than the ambian room temp. Yes it is ok to open your tub and fan, this will help with pin set. If those tubs are a poo sub you don't nessesarly have to case to get fruits, but if you do wait till the mycelium has consolidated the entire sub. Looks ready for a casing.

from what i read about late casing it sounds pretty good. but even witht hat lil piece of poo still black like that.. doesnt that mean its not fully colonized yet and not time for casing. uhg i cant get my head around this casing strategy.. theres too many ways to succeed

so i guess ill case em tonight ant let them incubate for a few more days. never used jiffy mix before. i hope its simple as field capacity, pasturizing and applying. today i accidenty brought my hpoo to 165, is this to much?.. ive already made a mono tub with it anyway, only because i thought i have brought hpoo to 175 before with results. here is the latest of the small tubs . and the new tub. my first large tub.. i found it very hard to be sterile with this thing.. cutting the plastic and put my hand into it all... i hope it works

dude you are stressing way too much. as long as your spawn is clean and your clean and not careless your fine. keep it simple, and the less steps the less likely you are to fuck up.

royal fuck uppp.. im guessing this is a result of my sub being above field capacity.... serious bummer boys and girls check it out so i i dabbed very lightly witha papaer towel to soak it upp.. may have beena stuid thing to do but i couldnt just leave it there.. damnit and i thought things were rolling along smoothly.. will this fuck up my entire tub... do you think it will still fruit atleast something.. and to update the lil tubs.. i cased them after four days of light exposure.. i wanted to wait for the first pins to show but i had to much condensation in there i thought it was neccisary to put a casing layer in there to help it out.. i wont give up until i get this right... please, any positive feedback is wanted. im so close to getting this down!

You should try to loosen the polyfil a lot more if you haven't already. Maybe fan a lot more without misting. I could be wrong and if the sub is just too wet then I don't know if there is to much you could do but I definitely think it is savable. I would wait for some more experienced cultivators to comment but I think you still have a shot at making it work. Think positive thoughts!

Fill in that spot with verm, it will pull out some of the water from the sub.

I generally dont pat dry my tubs... If there is too much standing water, i generally just tilt it at an angle and let the water run off to the sides to be absorbed later... Supplement with more fanning...
There is no need to add any vermiculite or anything else to the top of it...

serious question.. i have a large mono tub/tubs that i noticed on the last bit of poo that was not colonized started to get a whitish greyish mold growing on it.. when i opened it up and fanned it "stupid move" the air inside smelled not as fresh and when i breathed it,it made me feel slightly off, like wierd. is this super dangerous??? could i possibly die from this.. im sure prolonged exposure to any unknown mold is not smart. i will take a pics tomorrow. any way the mycelium seems to be winning even tho the poo had gotten hit by something.

the mold i was talking about in the 51 qt.    not the best quality pics.. i will put these in the contam forum as well. in your experiences. i imagine it would be very hard to know what this is just by these pics. but for an experienced grower who has seen a lot...you might.

Very nice brother, looks like some stellar looking fruits. Not sure about the mold, I'm sure that you will get some good help in the contam section. Keep us posted on both the grow and what you find out about the contam issue.

Uncle Harvey is here! just one of the two tonight.. only have one dehydrator..the big one i am holing weighed at 36g wet. they grew so big a had to take the lid off and threw some seran out it so they could push out. i wonder what my yeild will be for each one dry.. heres some porn..      ... so about picking fruits.. i heard many say cut them at the base... i on the other hand have never.. but i have also never done a mono tub... as you can see i threw in a pic of my sub after a raped it. i plan on using some more pasturized casing and patching it up and soakin it with the spray bottle...do you think this will be sufficient for a second go. thank everybody for the comments, especially the nice ones i think ill try cutting some out and ripping some out and see what works best or least amount of time till the 2nd flush..

Great looking fruits brother! You planning on printing any of them? Keep us posted on the dry weight. I personally like to cut mine at the base, RR has states a ton of times that they do not rot so for me it saves the extra step if cleaning the actual shroom and casing the craters.

all though they dont rot they do attract fungus Gnats. Pull em, plus this will stimulate growth in oter areas of the casing as the stems are not soaking up water. FYI gently twist.

second tub cleand up.. i will let you know the dry weight this evening for both of the small tub's first flush. i am super happy with the results. no here is a pick of a smaller casing i did with hpoo and jiffy.. i had one mush have a super head start should i cut him out before he would open.. i want the other pins to survive.. i am just no sure if cutting it would make the other pins wig out or even if i left it on there and it the cap opened up.. that might signal the other to do the same.. i just want those other pins to get nice and big with no problems.. what should i doo??

I would just pull the ones with the head start when their veils tear, shouldn't mess with the other pins.

update... 3 oz. dry from my two mini monos... heres my first 51 qt. mono.. i had a lot of aborts as you can see..    i used to keep every abort..lol so do you think its because my holes arent close anough to the substrate level.. i guess it could be a mixure of a few different things.. i pulled two of the headstarters out of there.. i wonder if tht did it... here is some porn i wanted to share.. with an AWESOME shot of a mushroom on a mushroom    i love this pic.. it should win a contest or something...hehe o and check this out.. i want to use this.. as a casing.. but because it has coco and wormcastings in it, could i spawn to it?

I would be careful with that grow medium... check the label on the bottom left. Trichoderma treated it looks like? Otherwise looks like a pretty sweet mix. Useful for lots of stuff I bet

2nd flush on my mini monos!!! i feel like an idiot for not taking any prints yet. i just put the one mini in for the third flush. do you think its the strain or what that is making them so gigantic.. or just the horsepoo mono tub cased with jiffy mix is a sweet mix? im afraid if i dont take prints of this one none of my other tubs will turn out this big two days  whoa.. these are the bigger mushrooms than i ever thought i would grow. LOL but there are still problems with the larger mono tubs i need serious advice.. maybe it becasue i didnt case them, but the headstarters are making sooo many aborts. bummin me out a bit. what is the secret?! ive been looking at the pink buffalos without anycasing any his boom all at the same time.. i ripped this guy out. he was way ahead and the next night bummer.. lol this will be my last post on this thread.i wasnt sure how long i could keep it going. cased rye with jiffy.. just wanted to see if it worked

I'm loving this thread. Hpoo does put out some big shrooms compared to coir or brf cakes, especially when it's got a heavy casing on it.
Strange that you're getting that many aborts. The other fruits look very happy. Are you providing enough fresh air during fruiting? That would be my first suspect.

yes i fan two to three times a day. usually two because of the dry climate. but that was only drying out my uncased subs.... okay, so get this. i let my two large monos fruit with no casing, i wanted to see if it would work well. i dont believe so folks.. i live in a very dry climate..i think that casing is the only way to go to get good results around here. i cased the one tub after first flush with no casing.. now i have a field of pins and the casing doesnt dry out easy at all

Interesting find brother, nice second flush those are definitely some monsters that mono is putting out! I usually do my tubs in a Gh; use doc T style tubs. I live in a drier climate myself, but never case, might have to try it myself.

Fanning twice a day is not a lot of fresh air. Is there a fan in the room? If the room air isn't circulating well, and you are only fanning twice a day, I'd say that lack of fae is your culprit on the aborts issue.
You can keep fae low to a point, but once you have vigorously growing pins, you have to keep up with oxygen demands or your yield will suffer.

I will double up fanning when pins are growing.. the reason i didnt do it more than 2 to 3 times is my dry climate, and everytime i fan i would imagine humidity has to build back up because it has been taken out. but now i am going to stick with casings, so i dont have to worry about anything drying out.. i was just seeing if i could pull it off without one..
