first mono, myce?
    #19286852 -

This is my first mono, i really didnt expect my rye mono to look like this at 100% colonized. i hope i dont have a contam, i think i am fine, i would just like to see what others think and maybe little confimation to ease the mind. found a bunch of posts but still would like some verbal advice and see what yall think. it had a LOT of water, i tilted the tub and watched 2 large stream drip down. then i aso noticed some myce on the lid, i was super fuzzy, but to me it looked like it was more flourishing than a contam and really didnt look like cobwebb or anything else. it kinda didnt smell like mushrooms either which kinda scared me. it had no real smell, it smelt like a fruiting chamber thats for sure, no odd smells or bad smells just a clean sterile smell kinda but almost a light hint of mushroom, but not real strong like cakes or fresh g2g jars smell. Any tips?

Ahh man thank you. Ease at last. Now ill just have to see how the casing goes. Im going with Penis Envy this tub. I never read much about it but i heard there was some infamous blob first flush, hopefully that doesnt happen, but ive never had blobs so hopefully it'll be cool. Also I got two new 5000k lights. Remember seeing everywhere to get 6500k but i couldnt find them and i didnt use any type of light based off heat or anything back in my last few grows so im sure these will do just fine haha

Yeah I've had the blob thing happen to me once. Those blobs are still good though. I ate a whole bunch fresh and I tripped really hard. Its only happened once out of the 15 times if grown PE so I think your chances are ok. That light should be ok but you really want 6500k

is that 1500k extra really gonna be a big deal? i used a like 1000-2000k light my first grow with B+ cakes and they did prefectly fine, yet they werent potent at all. i read around and came to a personal assumption that, the reason they werent so potent/magic was probably because they were B+, which usually dont do to well potency wise, and possibly cuz of the light and they were cakes in a starter set up. Now i got stuff proper and doing monos and past and what not so im sure they light being 1500k less wont matter to much. I literally looked everywhere for those lights and these were like 15 each for two. thats 30$ just for bulbs, worth it? make that big of a difference?

Anyone think about wrapping this around the top of the tub with a 12\12 timer?

Aggressivve nycelium will colonize over almost anything!
Smelling like nothing/faint hint of mush is okay.
smelling of damp basement or old magazines or any funk is bad.

I used to do trays in aluminum baking pans, but the myc wouldd rip through thhat foil like nothing

ive read that i should introduce it to fruiting at 20%. some said it take 4-6 days to get about 20%. Its about 2 days and i haven't noticed a difference. How much has yours taken? and ive also read that its outdated information that you don't have to put the mushooms in the dark during colonization, if anything the light might actually help the mushrooms. Where as on franks tek and a few other known cultivators they say to put the tub in a trash bag so no light reaches the myce because it could put the myce into pinning stages. Is that outdated? And should i wait til 20% to fruit it and dial it in? no signs yet, im hoping for the best :laugh:

thats what i figured. i have a tendency to make things harder than they really are and i figured if on other posts it says colonization conditions is what i was already doing then i should just leave it be until i introduce it all at once.
