monotub 10 days

I have a monotub that is now at day 11. I used 6 jars of RB that where at 100%. Used coir and Verm As the sub. Seems slow and the myc is very fluffy on the top. Its albino a+.

Update as of 1/8/2014

Lol it's great when you can away 2 qt Vermont and I know start you mean ! Sounds like a high spawn to sub ratio, try using 10 jars spawn next time, colonization will go much faster and really lower the chance for any contam to takea foothold.

Here is today's pics. They are two different tubs. The darker one is the one in bottom of the two. Same with the first pic. The clearer pics are he top tub. It seems to be ok but I can't really tell if there is any growth.

10 Quarts really?
I use 11 or 12 for 110 QT Mono's -
Nearly twice the size of your conventional mono.

I'm guessing my spawn was contaminated. Didn't visually see anything tho and did not smell anything weird in each jar. Guess the only thing to do is wait :/ just was hoping I would hhave these for Xmas

I thought you meant it was day 10 of fruiting?
IMO, it looks like that tub could have been put in fruiting conditions days ago....

well, this is usually what i wait for. In this pic i would of moved to fruiting days before tho. Once i see One or two pins. But if nobody objects ill move it into fruiting at lunch today. Looking at this pic from awhile ago i guess it does look good.

I was expecting it to look more like this below but i guess that happens farther down the fruiting, or it was just because its a different kind of strain. But just usually wait for a pin and i see none. Ill have to look again to see if i see any knots also.

There doesn't have to be pins in my honest experience. if it has stopped colonizing, i would. I really think you are probably around 90-98 maybe even full colonization... because i can't see the sides due to your black liner, i can't say for certain.
the top looks fantastic however. so yes, i would personally fruit it. i hope i am not overlooking something here, but yeah looks fine.

Take the tape off your liner man...defeats the whole purpose of it, it it hangs down too much trim it some more next time. You want the liner to shrink with the sub so that you dont have any side/bottom pins. Fruit it and you'll have fruit in a week or two (:

 The liner sticks to the sub, eliminating the micro climate between the sides of the tub and the sub.
at first I thought it was to block light, because I taped outside of tub with gorilla tape this did nothing to decrease side pins.
I wonder if you will have fruits before next year :tongueout :

so came to a thoery when i was smoking some oil on my way back to work. A monotub essentially is like a jar. You want to keep the air down and CO2 up so that it doesnt start growing. In the past ive forgotten about some jars and it takes about 2 months for a jar to start growing mushrooms inside the jar if you dont ever open it. So really you should expect the same results with a tub if done correctly i would imagine. So if the tub is at 100% theres a chance you wont ever see a pin til its way after 100%.could also maybe that the sub helps it pin compaired to the jars but i think this helps me put it into more of a understandable way to think about it.
Also in my experience, sense i dont open the trashbag and use only one layer, i just unfold it and put it in the tub flat so there is two layers. It seems to stick and shrink still with the sub still with the tape. The only issue i have is that when the condensastion drips, its sometimes drips and creates a puddle on the top. Guess ill start cutting it down when i do this now.EEEk im so excited. Been about a year and some sense i did a grow.

if it turns yellow it has been sitting in one spot to long. tip your sub and let it run across the surface to another spot it will evaporate

Dude take a clean paper towel and soak some of that pool up. no mushrooms will grow from a pool, droplets are OK, but soak a pool up with a clean paper towel.

well. After putting into fruiting they started. I left for 7 days and came back to pencil sized mushrooms. only a few tho. I was not fanning at all, so it really looks like too much CO2. Also was very hot in my room n those days, so i fixed that and also added light. So im fanning once daily and might mist a bit. Hopefully they start coming in soon. I can see a shit ton of knots. Ill take pics when i get home. Gonna fire up the PC this weekend and hopefully get 6 or 7 runs in this weekend.

yep pic 2 got the mean green. Its in a seporate room. Just waiting for veils to start rippin. Gonna try and get what i can outa it. The first one im pretty sure was not the correct climate and is why its just side pinning. After those few are done, its dunking and hopefully a better pin set. I forgot i needed to mist or fan out the tubs every day once or so. The tub with no mushys in the middle had no moisture on the sides of the tub so im fairly sure it was to dry...

Yup, By the time trich is green all of your fruit bodies are covered with trich spores, Trich mycelium looks white too, Have fun cleaning it up on a petri dish.

harvested, dried, final weight was 4 oz. the white albino A+ had monsters in it. 2 are over 7g each  Misted heavy after harvest and put back into fruiting conditions. This time i wont let it get so dry and hopefully do better with the FAE. Already see pins growing in the middle now instead of just the side. Hopefully its a beter flush then the first. Casing another tub tonight as well:) Ate 2g last night of the Golden teachers. Had a nice 4 or 5 hour trip. nothing crazy was really mellow.

Ok so here is two monsters from the second flush. Wish I took a pic before I harvested. After figuring out that I had a fae problem the second flush took off. I had a lot of aborts tho and blame it on my fae again. My holes on the side are probably 3 or 4 inches up from my sub. Guessing these beauty's are going to be over 8g a piece. The ones from the flush before this where smaller and where at the 7g and 8g weight dry. I soaked the sub for 3 hours and will see if I get a third flush. Im thinking sense the first flush was a bust. The second was ok, so hopeing theres enough umph for a ok third... and that no contaims start. But probably will get a few and contaimed is what im expecting..

seeing as i work all day. Probably not. Ive only taken 9g of PE before as the most ive taken before. That was at sasquatch as well. Best time of my life is when pretty lights started to play and i managed to make my way to the vip section in the front. Somehow, i think they handed them out, But when pretty lights dropped, i just happen to be looking up at the gorge hillside and everyone somehow got glow sticks and threw handfulls in the air on the drop. On 9g of PE, at the gorge, right at the drop. Always get goose bumps watching this vid
