tubs completely failed, please help!
    #19292615 - 12/18/13 09:58 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Alright.. so ive been really busy with work and havent been able to keep up with this hobby as much as i wouldve liked. but a few weeks ago i started my first tub. i had some issues with colonization, but had pins and threw it into fruiting.

Afterwards.. nothing happened.. the pins that had formed, grew slightly, and then shriveled away! Ive got some mushrooms on the side(no liner), but the top is completely void of mushrooms. what could have caused this? Is this a possible side effect of a contam? too dry? i just dont know! ill have pictures soon if necesary, but theres not much to show. just a tub with colonized myc, and no mushrooms.

Now. theres another tub that i started about 10 days ago. by now it should be fully colonized, but instead, it is VERY spotty. When i checked it just now, it seems like there is literally a lake of water on top!! im assuming this is absolutely not the way it should be, and that the mycelium may be drowning. Did i use too much water in my substrate? What else could cause this?

Any help is greatly appreciated. i have more jars i want to throw into tubs, but with this attempt being a complete failure, im hesitant to try again without a little more knowledge about what i did wrong!

Since you have no liner get a nail red hot and poke a hole in one of the bottom corners of the tub tilt so water drains to that hole and out of your tub.
