    #15724523 - 01/27/12 10:46 AM (12 years, 3 days ago)

hey everyone i have a few tubs going now. the first is z strain and it was put into the tub 14 days ago. I just checked it and its about 60% colonized. Im not sure whats wrong.4 Holes on the sides are taped and 2 holes are packed tightly with polyfil. the lids arent sealed tightly, but the have the flip latch handles, there 64qt tubs, wrapped in a garbage bag. Let me know if anyone has any sugestions or if its ok to let it keep going. thanks everyone!!

I have been doing some searching and found something interesting. After I mixed the spawn with the sub, I put a thin layer of sub over as a covering layer so no wbs was exposed. What I read was that it is old news, and that the thin top layer sometimes wont colonize 100 percent.

So I went to the tubs and looked through them with a white led flashlight (i find its better than a yellow bulb to look in the tubs). When I looked I saw under the top layer I can see myc, almost a thick coating. And some places its knotting, but I see no pins. So could this be true?
