I think i fucked up

So i inoculated the jars, did grain to grain, the proper past on my coir/verm substrate, mixed in tub with taped holes and let sit to colonize, then dropped a casing layer on it at 100%...
Well i fucked up in a few ways.
1.I used black gold seedling mix as my casing layer, 70-80% peat, some perlite, dolomite lime and some wetting agent. I know that this isnt a good casing mix cuz of the dolomite and other reasons.
2.I dropped like 1inch of casing on my spawn, then read around and found you have to drop like 1/4 to 1/2 inch casing and then wait til 20% or go into colonization. well when i went to remove a 1/2 inch to make it around 1/4 inch... everything i removed wasnt even touched by the myce yet and then now 3-5 days later. its been colonizing for like 3 weeks in the tub almost now and no sign of pins.
3.I just checked the tub and it has colonized like 10% and looks kinda good, then i removed a little more of the casing cuz it looked weird, and on the left side of the tub it looke dlike polyfil landed in the tub and got mixed in with the casing... buuuut it also looked like fuzzy trich or something bad like mod, so i have read somehwere you can cuz your substrate and get the mold out since your spawn is so strong already... and so i removed some and now its chillin... i think i got a contam. ill post a picture and keep it updated
here are some now.

i took a closer look when i took these and now i really think its trich, everything looks a faded fuzzy white cottony i mean it guess itll be okay cuz its my first tub and i can try again with my next 3 tubs that are about to be ready., but thatll make 4 tubs down the drain in a week due to contams and novice

I have absolutely ZERO experience in G2G and bulk stuff (at least for now) so don't take my opinion to heart.
I just don't think they look that bad, but I may be missing something. A lot of the spots that I think you are referring to that look a bit lighter/grey still seem to have rhizos.
Either way I wouldnt just go trash it or anything. You will know in a few days when it turns green or doesn't right?

for future refrence 1 inch is doable most just prefer the half, sometimes on coir myc will look a little whispy and it's no biggie, stop messing with it and let it do it's thing it will either work or it will contam but the more you mess with it the farther you set yourself back
--------------------
  It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn I'm tired do me a favor

fear is often your worst enemy when your just getting into things so i hear ya 


 all between 1/2-1 inch(no dolomite though lol) practice and failure will lead to success, hang in there

I dont know how much i tell myself this. I need to take my own advice...
 1...2....3 progression this all happened within a matter of two days. besides the first picture. but as soon as i removed the top of the casing layer that wasnt colonizing.. BAM overnight it seemed to mix all up ... everything happens for a reason and ive learned so much this round about. and i dont know what else to say but thank you cronic. my boy.
youve really inspired me to hang in there for the benefit.. lets just hope this isnt trich or some weird fuzzy mold thatll grow so fast. only one way to find out.

I left the right side of the casing a little more dense so that i can see if its myce colonizing it slowly, or if it was a contam. And i think you can tell its myce cuz it isnt colonized where as everything else is.

Exactly ive learned soooo much just trolling haha. One thing i was gonna ask you real quick. is what about misting monotubs?
i kinda use a rule of thumb when it comes to misting... and i think you taught me this rule ahhahahahahahah...
The rule is: shine a LED light on the mushrooms and if there is a sparkle/shine back, then dont mist just fan. but if there isnt anything and it also looks dry, then mist and fan.. id assume i can apply that to monotubs... buuuut
my monotub has held GREAT moisture throughout the last couple days and as soon as it started colonizing reallll good, all the moisture on the walls is starting to evap now. so im assuming just mist a little once it starts looking a little on the dry side? some parts of the walls are almost completely dry and some are. but only little spots. but the sub looks SUUUPER moist. Whats best determining factor that you usually spot?

watch the condensation on the walls and the dry ring around your poly, you should have nice droplets of water across the surface of your sub as well
