Do you think this Monotub is ready?
    #17012262 - 10/11/12 02:21 PM (11 years, 4 months ago)



Been colonizing since.. Friday the 27th. So, 14 days so far. The mix was ~6 quarts of rye with a little more than 14qts of substrate.

It's way too humid in there, and the myc is kinda yellow from metabolites.. I can't do much about it right now though since it's colonizing. That I know of.

Here you go though. What do you think? Ready to fruit?

TBH you would be alright to fruit it now.  I'd prefer to see that patch in the top left a little more white though.

Wait, what? :confused2:
Humidity doesn't matter during colonization/consolidation.
It's all about GE, you want CO2 extremely high, 10k-20k ppm.
The condensation you're seeing is due to the tub being warmer than your room temperature due to colonization.

I'm w/ Citric.
I'd let it sit for a few more days to colonize those top parts.

I added to much water in the mixture. I think a lot of the moisture is from that. It's pretty wet in there. It's causing the mycelium to build yellow metabolites, and the substrate being so wet is causing it to colonize a little bit slower. I'm not worried about the humidity per se.

OIC.
I'd still give it a day or two more for those spots to colonize.

I think that's what I'm going to do. I'll just give them 2-3 more days. Or just whenever they cover up. Thanks for the help.

Stop opening it, you're releasing your built up Co2.

In essence, you already have introduced a major pinning trigger - FAE.

It's kind of half way in fruiting conditions at this point, from opening the lid. I'd give it a 2-3 days then fruit it. It will continue to colonize even once you put it into fruiting conditions.

I've probably opened it way too much. I should have just left it alone in the first place :/

You should never open your tub until you are ready to fruit it. You'll be okay though, just take note for the future.
