Monotub ruined..?
#15911271 - 03/06/12 08:46 PM (12 years, 10 months ago) |

So I was 10 days into letting a monotub colonize, it was coming along great, and somebody saw fit to take my tub and place it outside, with the lid off a little bit, for over an hour, the lid wasn't completely off, but, it was off..I know FAE is a pinning trigger, and the sub was only around 40% colonized, but, isn't showing any visible contams yet..I placed it back inside and from looks alone seems okay, but I am wondering, after all that FAE entered, do I have any chance of my sub continuing to colonize, the holes are still duct taped, and it's back in trashbags.
I have shitty luck with monotubs lately, recently had one topple over. gah.
Any guidance would be great..hoping my little buddy isn't wasted time.

Hard to say, but the best thing you can do is just keep on keepin' on. It will probably be fine so just keep hoping!

Just keep colonizing. Why should it be totally ruined because of that? Maybe line it with saran wrap...

All you can do is be patient man. 10 days and only 40% colonization? That is pretty slow, what's your spawn to sub ratio?

Lets see...
1 brick of coir= 12 quarts + 2 quarts verm= 14 quarts total Lets call it 15
So about 1:41:3 spawn to sub
Thats not a bad ratio, though 1:3 or 1:2 will speed up colonization times. Your problem could be moisture content (too much or too little) in your bulk sub.

Well, I sealed it back up, and threw it back into colonization mode, and it is now almost 100%, gonna leave it consolodating for a week before I fruit it, I'm really hoping for no contams, the way the lid was open for awile worries me, but hoping to pull at least something off this..i'll keep it updated.

It sounds like it will be fine,also one brick of coir is roughly 8 quarts not 12 as stated above

Nice to hear that it didn't induce premature pinning. Good Luck.

IMO,might not be a bad idea to go ahead and give it a 1/4 to 1/2,very moist, casing layer. Best of luck either way though
