Are we sure its mold now?Take a q-tip and try to whipe it off, If it wipes off easily then its a contam. if not, its bruising.

NOTHING wipes off. and looks like the white is taking over the un-colonized sub. Hopefully its not a contam. What can i do about the water droplets all over the sub?

and here are the pictures with the jars and updated tub

I don't know, look at these side by side. Color and texture look the same, just not a lot of it.

Yea, And that REALLY does look like green mold, The perl white mycelium is usually tell tale signs of green mold, But green mold would whipe off with a q tip. Oh and the white will take over if it green mold or mycelium, But if its green mold it will grow green the next day.

Im making up some other tubs today so i will take lots of pictures! Im going to be using smaller show box type tubs and then once colinized I will put them in a greenhouse! Damoins tek should work for these tubs correct? and what do you think 1 or 2 qts of grain per tub?

Alright, I just mixed up a bucket of coir using damoins coir tek. I just wanted to post to make sure everything im doing seems good!

I cleaned everything really well and started mixing!

I put 650g of coir in a bucket


Then I put 2.5 qts of fine verm into the bucket


Then I mixed it up


I added 1/4 cup gypsum to the bucket and mixed that as well


and a little bit of spent coffee grounds


then mixed all that up really good


waited for my 4 qts of water to boil


dumped that into the bucket and mixed the best i could


I put my candy thermometer in the bucket and waited for the mix to cool for about 4 hours

As soon as its cool ill take video of making the tubs

Couldn't make the video but here are some of the pictures i got making the tubs. And a update of the maybe contaminated tub.

Started off with very clean room! And everything ready to go and CLEAN!


Filled up with tub with about 3 qts coir mix and added 1 qt grain spawn


Mixed that up really good while wearing gloves!


Put about 1/2 inch top layer on


Put the lid on and wrapped with cling wrap

And that's it!

Here is the tub with problems. I'm still not 100% sure its a contam. It doesn't smell, doesn't seem to be growing, white is slowly taking over some of the darker spot of un-colonized sub

Ill bet the coffee is your problem If not I wouldnt recomend it with Damon's Tek, Coffee contams really easy and almost every contam loves to grow on it. If you want to use coffee in your sub you should be doing a  true pasteurization it, Damon's tek is not true pasteurization.

I use spent coffee in the soaking water for my grains, But never my subs.

Kind of looks like mutants popping up. Are those things solid or just fluff?

Skip the coffee grounds.  Coffee is highly acidic, which is a trait some types of contam (trich for example) favor.
