First time mono-tubber, help please (pics!)
    #15932293 - 03/11/12 07:08 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

So this is my first time with monotubs, i have two 35L tubs on the go.
The first one was spawned with a 1kg bag of pre sterilised rye grain 14days ago, and the second one was spawned with 7qts of rye grain 8 days ago. Both were spawned to Damion5050's coir tek, with added gypsum.

My first tub is definitely on the dry side, i have know this from the beginning (but too late to do anything about it!). My second tub is pretty much spot on as far as moisture content goes i think. I have just put the first tub into fruiting conditions as it has shown no signs of growth for a good few days now, i have given it a heavy misting too as it is already pulling away from the sides of the tub (a good sign of dry substrate?). I have kind of accepted that it isn't going to be a great yield, but i learnt a lot so never mind eh!

First 2 pics are of tub 1, any thoughts/comments? Can i expect a modest yield?





Tub 2 seems much healthier, closer to 100% colonised than tub 1 in a shorter time.
The last 2 pics are of tub 2. It seems to be showing some signs of knotting already?
I think they are knots but its been over a year since i grew any shrooms so im not sure.





I have been the stereotypical impatient noob and opened both tubs on a couple of occasions, is it likely i have forced them into fruiting?

Should i leave tub 1 in spawn run conditions for a while longer?

Thanks for any help/guidance guys, couldn't have evn got this far without this site! :smile:

They look fine. Just try to stop your dry tray...it will be fine. if dry just dump water in tray for a 3 to 4 hour soak.  I do when tub is dry at any stage.
