First monotub TC *PinPorn* (WBS+coir/verm)
    #14613442 - 06/14/11 05:32 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

First off, thanks to everyone here for helping me get this far. Im currently waiting on my first monotub to colonize. I spawned to bulk on 6/2. I checked it today and saw there was a lot of sitting puddles of water on the top of the substrate. It looks like there is a clear film on some parts of the sub as well. I dabbed slightly with a paper towel and it seems congealed. Is it just my imagination? It doesn't look like contam. Has anyone else seen this? I'm not too worried about it because it looks healthy and contam free but I'm curious why it looks like congealed water. The bottom pic is as good as I can get. Sorry if it doesn't help.

I could be wrong so you might wait on someone else for sure but that looks like contam to me... I threw away two trays that looked almost exactly like that because i figured they were contamed... isnt that cobweb or something?

It doesn't look like cobweb to me, but I'm not an expert.

6 qts of WBS, 1 brick coir, 2 qt. verm.

It's fine.

I had it on my last APE mono tub when I put it into Fruiting Conditions.

It's just from pooling water, from the condensation of colonizing mycelium, on the substrate that was there a bit too long. You may get a few metabolites on that spot of the substrate, but no worries.

That tub is def. ready for some Fruiting Conditions.

I was waiting to hopefully see some pins before fruiting, but man I trust your judgment. I'll begin fruiting it when I get off work in a few hours.

Thanks a lot TL!

I wait to see pins until I put into FC, also. But since you  already fully opened it & dabbed it w/ a paper towel, you should be getting pins very soon.

Forgot to mention that it's Treasure Coast in there (edited subject). Used Doc's WBS tek and some common sense. Spawned to coir+verm using Damion5050's elementary coir tek.

I untaped the holes and put some polyfil in. I left the two top holes uncovered. I'll check frequently for the moisture to evaporate or soak into the sub, and will be fanning a few times tonight.

I'll be posting pictures as it progresses.

Hey all! It's been a while since I've updated on my first monotub. I introduced it to fruiting conditions on 6/15.




I see a lot of tiny pins that have come up in the last two days. The bigger ones started a day earlier. Look at the tiny pin trying to grow off the wall of the tub. Now thats "side pinning" for ya!

Thanks a lot guys! :thumbup:

It was a learning experience. Oddly enough it felt natural making a monotub. I didnt leave some coir to do a frosting layer. I didnt remember until i had it fully mixed. Whoops!:foreheadslap:

This tub has actually been through a lot. I made it up at my girlfriends house where it colonized. She went away for a few days and i didnt feel like making several trips to her house every day so i took it to my house where i introduced fruiting conditions. The day it began to pin, she got back in town so i took it back over there. But her mom was there when i got there with it!  :boo:  so i stashed it in the garage which is open and ripe with dust, dirt, cobwebs, musty tarps, old boxes, and most likely mold of several kinds. It stayed there about 24 hrs. Before i was able to get around to bringing it in.

So i hope all is well. I see what looks like bruising, but time will tell.

I'm sure it's fine.

It'll probably pop big due to the stress.

I never leave a "frosting" layer. Just mix the bulk+spawn all up, level, seal & leave for 12-18 days.

Also, I only introduce my tubs into Fruiting Conditions when I see some pins.

Thanks! Im happy it went well. Now I'm looking to clone my sexiest fruit and maybe do some isolations for a more even pinset.

I got super excited when i saw several hundred pins. Man i would love an even flush with this many pins.

I'll keep the porn comin'. I plan to update with a pic or two every day.
