JUDGE ME... for real I need help
    #19251266 - 12/09/13 05:12 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

So this is my third attempt at a monotub, and have been fairly confident in this run until now...

I fruited it about four days ago and I've only gotten 2 ity bity pins so far

Is this normal and should take longer anyway or could it be stalled?


Also the tub has a green top and therefore I have the light to the side, is this okay or should I go get a clear top?

Green tint threw me off at first. If you have a clear lid laying around I would say use it! But green won't hurt.

Pins in 4 days!.... Lucky. It takes me almost a week. I see a lot more about to come in as well:lahey:

I agree--take the lid off and show us a picture without the green.  At a glance, it looks to me like you have a lot of knotting, personally.  In my experience, two pins only four days into fruiting is a good sign--that's pretty speedy, and those pins are probably just your race-leaders before the bulk of the first flush comes in.  MS, right?

Do you have polyfil stuffed holes at the top of the tub on the ends?

Did the sub used to be wall to wall? It looks like it's shrunk a lot. It also looks like it might be a little dry.

It's hard to say for sure from those pics. But, the myc does look a little funny to me, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

yes polyfill loose at top two holes at end and tight on the bottom four on the sides.

there's 1/4 inch of water in the places where it shrunk so I doubt it's dry.

the shrinkage means its digesting etc which is normal during fruiting stage.  you got better pics?

and how long did you let it colonize before introudin to fruiting, until you seen pins/knots or when it was 100% colonized on the surface

To me, your top holes look a little tight. But it's hard to tell from pics sometimes.

For the top holes, you want very loose polyfill.

Here's a quick pictorial on how I make perfect little puffballs for the top holes of my monos. It allows for good FAE and retains tons of humidity:

Spread a puffball flat on your palm, about a half inch thick at most.


Fold it in half.


Gently roll into a ball that is a bit larger than the hole itself. Use little or no pressure when rolling the ball between your hands. Should end up looking like this:


Gently insert it into the tub, don't stuff it in or anything, just push it through so it's almost falling out.
