Monotubs won't pin! Any advice?
    #16781918 - 09/03/12 02:50 PM (12 years, 4 months ago)

My tubs have been in fruiting conditions for close to 4 weeks now...

I used 1:1.5 ratio, rye berries and hpoo.  Let colonize for 12 days, got nice and white all over.

Then I put polyfill in the holes, I have 6 holes in each tub, and using natural sunlight and have a fan going in the room.

The tubs smell great, they just keep getting thicker and thicker white with no pins...I mist once to twice a day and fan a few times a day, just don't get why no pins yet

How tight is your polyfil packed in?  Sounds like you need more FAE.

No experience with monotubs. But when my cakes are taking  sweet time to pin I move them downstairs for the night. Its aprox 10 degrees cooler than room they are normally in. This slight "cold shock" has had success for me.

Pictures of your setup would be nice.  Have you noticed any bluing on your substrate?  How much of that sunlight is getting into the FC?

More recent pictures would be really nice.  Bluing means the substrate is drying out.  When you mist, how do you do it?  Do you mist directly and heavily, or do you spray above the FC and let it fall?  How long do you fan?  Is the fan in the room pointed at the FC?

I mist directly on the substrate, then fan for a minute, the fan is pointed away from the fruiting chamber. I just give it a light misting so I can see droplets of water on the sub

I just put that tinfoil over the sub and pulled out the polyfill from the top two holes, should I undo that?

I'd go ahead and put the polyfil back in for now.  I would also mist directly and heavily twice a day, don't be afraid to get it wet, and only fan manually for about 5 to 10 seconds at a time.  I think that your problem is the reverse of what I originally thought it was, I think you've been giving too much FAE.

Seems like it takes forever sometimes.  I had a couple tubs take 1.5 weeks pin.  Yours is 3 weeks so there is a problem.  Your picture looks healthy to me so I expect the fae is the main issue.  Good luck man!

I'd put the polyfil back in.  You've got too much FAE going through there drying out your substrate.

ok, I put it back in but why won't it pin?

I was misting like crazy with the polyfill in, started getting myc piss all over and I would just soak up any puddles I seen and all it did was get the myc thicker and thicker for 3 weeks.
I quit misting cause I thought maybe that was the problem for the last week and now it looks like it's drying out....:frown:

I'll start misting again cause if deff looks dry but what to make it pin??

The temp in the room they are in is a solid 72F all day and night, 100% on that and they get plenty of indirect sunlight.

This is b+ btw.

Everyone says they can pin in under 2 weeks and neither tub seems to want too. My last tub took 6 weeks, exact same everything, started to dry out but I ended up with 4oz's in 3 flush's, just took forever
