So I think I know the answer to this question but I am going to ask anyway. If you see my picture and notice the 2 big clumps of non colonized sub. What has been happening is that my tub colonizes in about 10 days with the exception of a few big clumps like shown in the pic. I try waiting for the clumps to completely colonize but after 2 more weeks they bare still not fully done. So realizing its probably a bad idea I get impatient and put into fruiting conditions. Well my first monotub I did this with did OK however the next one got the mean green. I cut a few corners on that one and chalked the contam up to that. Well I think its happening again. So my question is, did I just get extremely lucky my first monotub didn't get sick, and typically is doing what I did a sure way to fail. And if it is a sure way to fail, is there some special tek that some of you use to make sure there is not clumps on top and that your substrate is even. Then in the second pic if you look at the clumps on the right side, the mycelium that is colonizing it looks brighter and to me looks like trich. What do you guys think? BTW the first tub is coir and verm the second is hpoo and verm.

That second tub looks no bueno.  I'm guessing you need to clean up the grain portion of your projects.

Are you saying the whole tub looks bad or just around the non colonized sub or the right side of the tube?

I see the green too but it does kinda look like all the spots match the green in the sprout up in the right corner.:confused:

The whole second tub looks nasty to me.

What is your pasteurization method like?

Are you using syringes on grain?

This was my first time using hpoo and I used a pillow case filled with hpoo in water with a thermometer. And the green that everyone sees are sprouts. I know this means I did not pasrurize properly but the sprouts are not what worries me. What worries me is the way the uncolonized clumps look. The white that's started to colonize it is brighter and sort of a different texture.

Is that a plant growing in the top right of the second pic? Did a seed germinate in your tub?

How could a seed survive pasteurization / sterilization in either your bulk sub or spawn?

That's awesome! I would've thought most seeds would be too cooked to germinate after a pasteurization. That's a pretty magical little ecosystem you grew there Nota!
