First time monotubs. Can you look plz.
    #18871566 - 09/21/13 10:53 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

So I spawned both of these tubs on August 15th with a 4:1 ratio of popcorn spawn and verm/coir.  This is an ecuador strain.  One of my main worries is that the mycelium is very fluffy looking and not shown much signs of rhizomorphic growth.  A semi experienced friend told me that I should go ahead and fruit the first one. 

Do these look normal/ok?

Should I fruit one or both?

no just spawned and mixed evenly to a bulk substrate which is coir/verm

If you spawned those August 15th you should be on your 2nd or 3rd flush already. It should've been colonized by no later than the end of August. Your substrate looks really wet but it's hard to tell in the pic

How did you prepare the verm/coir mix?

Hmm, how does it smell inside of the tubs?
It is weird that it has been over a month and you haven't had full coverage yet. The mycelium growth does look weird in general too.

i know how long it's supposed to take but ive also read that it can take quite a bit longer some other times depending on the strain.  I'm already starting new jars again but I'm not gonna just throw these out when they look semi promising

I followed frank's tek perfectly.  I bought a digital thermometer and did the pasteurization right.

That slow of colonization isn't even characteristic of some of the slowest growing P. Cubensis such as Penis Envy.

I wouldn't say to make any decisions based upon my advice, as I am not as experienced as some on this forum. You should wait for the advice of a more experienced grower for sure. Hope everything works out for the best though. :mushroom2::mushroom2::mushroom2:

I'm thinking your substrate wasn't at field capacity, it looks a little wet...  I've also found that layering the spawn works better.

Yeah my tubs usually colonize in about a week. I could see it taking maybe 2 weeks at the most with lower spawn ratio but over a month!  :justno: Something is not right. Healthy myc rips through coir amazingly fast

OP, if you have any spots that are in any way discolored or look weird, you should take a close up picture.

I agree with Psilly here, if it has been a month and your tubs look like that I would bring them outside and find a nice resting place in the shade (if weather permits), maybe cover with dried grass clippings, and give them a nice shower.
