First Bulk Grow - Hawaiian
    #16633192 - 08/02/12 10:53 AM (11 years, 5 months ago)

I was told previously that the "mono-tub" requires about 4 pints of spawn.  I went on the safe side and dropped 6 pints into the tub.  I followed the Mono-Tek; using vermiculite, distilled water and coconut core.  After leveling and mixing; I put a black garbage bag around the tub; to keep the light out.

This is what it looks like after 3 days.  Am I on the right track?



Also, so after the "10 day" waiting period; how will I know when it is fully colonized?  Is the top layer pure white or something?

You were... until you opened it and fucked everything up. :thumbup: It also doesn't look like you evenly distributed your spawn throughout your bulk substrate.

I made sure I mixed it very well.  But maybe you're right.  I mean this is my first time.

It's definitely a set back but you could still have a successful grow. You don't want to open it so c02 levels build up which promotes more aggressive mycelium that colonizes faster.

The reason I say you didn't distribute and break it up much is because of the large white chunks of mycelium in concentrated spots. Your trays when mixed evenly will colonize evenly like in my picture.

Oh I see...  Okay well maybe I need to wait another 10 days then?  Or should I check it after the 10 day period.

You shouldn't open it until you see pins forming.

For sure. Keep her sealed up and don't peek for about a week. You should still be fine though.

Okay, so I peak from the sides then?  Do I need to see a lot of pins, or just some pinning?

If you see a pin you can wait a little longer for a bigger pin set first or just introduce to fruiting conditions. Don't peak at all if possible unless you can do so without opening it. The condensation can make it hard to see but an LED flashlight shines in pretty well and you can see if there's pins or not.

yea man your odds are looking very slim ive gone through about 4 tubs all prolly faileed cause i opened them up before the atleast top layer was colonized and then boom the next day or so the mean green showed up.

hopefully you have better odds though , good luck and just wait some time before looking at it.

is a colonizing substrate really that sensitive to being open like that?  Does it stall it from continuing?

I used a 22 quart tub.  Is that large or small?  So after 10 days and I peak inside with pins, then I am good to go, yes?

It would probably be closer to 21 days for pins to form before introducing fruiting conditions.

Your ratio of spawn to substrate looks pretty low.

Okay sounds good brother.  So I will just take it out after the 10 days and look at it from the sides.  I don't want to make the mistake and lose the CO2 again.
