I guess. The spawn looks just fine. The tub itself is oddly colonized at different spots and quite bare at others
Op. Did you mix the spawn with the sub evenly?

You know I actually thought about that once the tub started colonizing. I really can't remember if I mixed it in good enough. I am always so busy with work n such.... but with that being said I made sure to mix the following tubs very well. Anyways, it will get there just may take a little longer.
Question: Does anyone have experience with fruiting in the cold? I always use my attic for hush hush reasons and it is currently in the 30s. Was thinking an electric heater on a timer would do. That is if it is even necessary?

So the cold has become an issue with slowing my colonization down greatly which I've never had to deal with before during tub colonization/fruiting. Using a space heater on a timer in my attic didnt seem to safe for fire hazard reasons. I got the thinking and decided to put each colonizing tub in another tub with 5 or 6 inches of water with a fish tank heater. Just like people do with colonizing jars. I was just wondering if anyone has done this before or read about it. Any input is useful. Thanks

I would think the extra moisture might cause contamination........or make a heat bomb

the water between the tubs isnt going into the tub with the spawn/mic in it so im not to worried about contaminants. more worried about contaminants from taking to long to colonize. What do you mean by heat bomb? the heater is set to keep the water at 75 degree. so the tub above should be around 70. the heat from the water isnt just building up if that is what you mean???

Stop putting that top layer of bulk substrate over it.....this is what if fucking you.
Just mix the spawn evenly with the substrate and cover....no top layer.....do not worry about covering the exposed spawn.

i thought it want good to leave exposed grains? you think the cold isnt a factor with the slow colonization? and when i say cold its in the teens-low 20s outside... so my attic is probably 30-40s...
