Yeah I might not have messed with them so much, can take a week or more to see pins.  I notice your tubs are on the ground... in general it is recommended you keep your projects at least three feet above grounds surface, as the nastiest of contams float around in this region usually.




Good to know I will try to adjust accordingly
I have one metal rack
I want like .... four more :laugh:

Wow good to know. Should I consolidate ?
I feel like I get good flushes this way

Pasteurization is between 140-160 try that next time.

Bulk doesn't need to consolidate since CVG is not high nutrition like BRF. a few day consolidation of bulk substrate wont hurt anything though.

Fuck my life I got another contamination

What do you think the chances they all fail are ?

so far 3 or 5

This contam seems small and I do need these

Should I just spray with bleach

Well what's the contaminant? A TC would tell you never to try to fuck with a sporulating mold, in the words of RR, "unless you want to stop practicing this hobby until you move to another location."

If I needed the fruit and it was a bacterial contaminant, I would cut out a nice chunk around it. Some people have success with excision; some would prefer to also use a bleach/alcohol drip for the duration of the flush. None are really good options, so there's not a whole lot of information that I've found comparing their merits.

These procedures might also work for molds before sporulation, but I'm not really even sure how that works. Does a mold colony begin sporulation simultaneously? Or could there be little pockets sporulating before the colony turns color? These are things I don't know.

If all at once, I imagine there's not too much harm in excision/drip therapy. If there might be sections of the colony sporulating too small to see as a color yet, it would still be quite dangerous (in regards to future cultivation).

It's toast. Toss it. Start over.

I would not trust your pasteurization technique. Although CVG is contam resistant, it is not contam proof.

180F for 2-3 hours is not considered proper pasteurization. The core of the sub needs to be 140-170

If the temp goes over 165-170 for more than a few minutes, you will sterilize part of the substrate. It'd be best to toss it and try again. Since we spawn to bulk in open air, a partially sterilized substrate is often as shitty as an unpasteurized substrate.

Pretty sure I already said that I would be switching to franks timing not sure though

Just got me a probe thermometer for it

No stress
So basically since I do a pillow case at a time
If my center hit 160 unless its 160 in the box the outside will be hotter and steralized

So I would want to let the center hit about 145 and wait as too not burn the outside essentially

It's all about the core. If the outer edges gets sterile, that's okay as long as the core does not go above pasteurization temps.

I think I would have a difficult time doing this the way you do. I like to have field capacity before I start pasteurizing and adding steam might make it too wet. :shrug:

CVG is pretty forgiving though. Your contam issue is likely due to your spawn. Proper pasteurization is a good step for troubleshooting.

Actaully ... I have found that I prefer to let the water boil when bringing the core to 140-160F. 

The bacteria you want will thrive in the center of the substrate while everything else begins to die at 170F+ on the outer areas.  While cooling and especially while spawning, this bacteria will propagate and take hold of the whole substrate as it should.

I would  venture to guess it might even be easier for the thermophiles to spread if the outer parts of the sub get excessively heated.

The key is to not go over 160-165F at the core of the substrate for more than a few minutes. That, with temps in the center held between 140-160 for 60-90min and you have a well-prepared substrate ready for open air spawning.

Perfect answer , Although I find no matter what water content I put my substrate in with it always comes out perfectly saturated (when you can squeeze a hand full and just a couple drops come out) i think that the right level

Yep looks good to me though I'm no expert. Also mine took more than two weeks to colonize then finally decided to pin right on it's own and all is looking well right now. Parts of it seem to be consolidating while it's pinning, too.

Patience is key yo! Patience and good vibes :peace: :rasta: :mushroom2:
