Are These Tubs OK?
    #18363462 - 06/03/13 04:46 PM (11 years, 7 months ago)

I have four separate tubs that have been colonizing for eleven days. Which ones are ok, and which ones are most likely not in a suitable condition for fruiting/contaminated?
A.
B.
C.
D.

A looks like it hasn't colonized enough (possibly because of contamination)
B looks contaminated
C and D appear to be ok

What was your substrate, what was your sub to spawn ration.

If the tubs are currently colonizing, why do you have polyfill in the holes? They should be taped up for colonization.

They were bagged and boxed so I put the polyfill in beforehand. I'll just let A alone and see if it comes along. But B really doesn't look good at all? I used rye for spawn for A, B, and C and BRF cakes for D. I think I used the same substrate for all of them, which was manure and verm, but one was supplemented with coco coir. I'm not entirely sure which one. The ratio's vary, honestly, but the range is 1:3 to 1:2. I should have kept a more comprehensive grow log.

:whathesaid:B and D.

A and C are looking good. :thumbup:

C is still kinda blurry though.

I hate to bump this so soon, but I would really like some more feedback as to which of these tubs are viable for fruiting and which are not, especially after recent failures.

Man it is really hard to tell by the pictures but IMO, all of em look
Ok except for B. Can't tell if its a contam or slow growth. Is spawn
Ratio the same?

Actually looking at it again. It looks fine to me. Looks like ratio
Was off but mycelium looks good. You can see rizo growth

Before I posted, I had thought that A was the one that looked the most suspect. I should include that tubs A and B were spawned with rye jars that were very weakly colonized, but fully engulfed in mycelium, if that makes any sense. Tub C, which I think looks the best, was spawned with very thick, white mycelium, such that looking from the outside in, you can't see the individual rye berries. The rye for tubs A and B was only very faintly covered in mycelium, such that you could distinguish each individual kernel, as seen here:

To be honest man those rye jars didn't look to hot. I wouldn't have even
Spawned them. Just be patient and see what happens with A and B.
I would even quarintine them two.

Hey though you do have 2 that look awesome. Atleast you got that.

I agree that the jars didn't look so hot, but it was strange: they colonized at normal speeds and smelled fine. That aside, does tub B look alright? And if not, why? Just trying to learn.

Sometimes grains look that way when they're a hair on the dry side.
I think your tubs look fine so far

I can't tell for sure from the pic. If you have any concern about it being
Contam just quarantine them for a week and see what happens. Better
Safe than sorry.

IMO I think b. Looks ok. If you look close you can c really strong mycelium.
A. Looks alright too just really slow. If the jars smelled ok then I would say
The mycelium was just really weak.

When you spawned it to the bulk substrate It might have given the mycelium
The extra boost. Don't quote me on that but I think you'll be alright

Well, tub D is the only one that has officially pinned, and it looks like it will be the best I've done yet! I only wish it was bigger. Question: is it possibly too dry? What are signs of dryness? There is some condensation on the side, and a few vertical streaks, but there is no condensation on the substrate itself and it does not appear to have any surface moisture. Is misting not helpful?

Mist as needed.
If it looks dry, it is dry.
If you mist, fan.. in fact, misting & fanning is kickass
