My first grow using 50/50 tek. Can you check out my pics?
    #18728650 - 08/19/13 05:07 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

This is my first grow ever using 50/50 peat/verm with WBS. 2 weeks ago I put it in the monotub and 4 days ago I started fanning it to fruit even though I didn't see pins.
My tub has no holes. I fan it alot and mist when I feel neccesary.
How do these pics look. Do they look healthy? I just started seeing growth 2 days ago.

Strain is GT

I see knotting, which is good. You will need to fan prolly 4 or 5 times a day, which will mean you will need to mist more often. Fresh air is a pinning trigger.

It looks healthy though.

Looks good so far, use the poly in a teddy bear to fill the holes in Ur lid if u end up cutting it, how did u go about mixing the 50/50 with the wbs?

Small issue not all of your substrate is colonized and you could be looking at a possible contamination induced fruiting...MAYBE..... not saying it is.  However the lack of other pins is somewhat confusing and a definite cause for some alarm.  i would suggest drilling holes to specs and going from there the lack of pins could also be from lack of ventilation causing too much moisture and CO2 build up and not enough gas exchange and evaporation.

I followed Hawk's 50/50 tek.

Would holes in the lid be enough or do I need holes along the side near the surface?
Also, will heating the sides of the tub with a hair dryer in order to make holes be harmful at this stage?

Search monotub designs. Also I would cut the holes with a hole saw attachment for a drill or even a knife/razor. There's no need for a hair dryer.

Just stay away from your substrate with that drill your holes can be 2 in above substrate level
