Monotub slowed down colonizing, too wet and a to big top layer (pic).
    #18256595 - 05/13/13 07:29 AM (10 years, 8 months ago)

4/20 I spawned this monotub. Now 3 weeks later it still hasn't reached 100%. Spawned:Bulk = 1:2. Rye to verm/coir/gypsum. My guess it is too wet because a dryer tub I made colonized within 2 weeks. Also I did use a 'frosting layer' of substrate when spawning (about 1cm).


This is what it looks like now:


I already drained excess water with a small hole in the bottom of the tub.

Now I was wondering what my best option was. Just give it more time? Drain more water somehow? Fruit and hope for the best?

Thanks in advance shroomery!

i didn't read this entire thread however i know sometime's a tub seals too tight and doesn't allow enough ge. that's why some ppl tape the bottom holes and then pack the top holes VERY TIGHTLY during this phase. i think it was "citric"? don't hold me to it, but i saw pictures of tubs stacked and it explained this way. personally i haven't had a problem with just taping mine up, but it COULD be an issue. check your seals, just food for thought. :wink:




I taped my holes off during the spawn run, and cover them with a blanket to insulate them.




Just like Frank said
