MonoTub Pooling Water
    #20602258 - 09/22/14 05:15 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

okay, so I think this is the 7th? day of colonization of the mono. Quick question. It seems to me that i have to much moisture build up on the top of the sub. I know water DROPLETS are normal, and arent to be of any worry, but i've noticed some tiny pools of water where the sub divets down slightly in a bowl shape allowing water to be held. Also noticed a little, (usually where there is a ton of myc RIGHT by it, if not almost in it) SLIGHTLY yellow liquid. Thinking this might just be myc piss. But on to my questions.

TLDR:


  • Are these small (dime size) pools of water normal?

  • If not, should i put maybe.. 5 1/4" holes (one in each corner of the lid and one in the middle, with some tightly packed polyfil or perhaps some doubled over tyvek to allow a little evap, but tight enough to hold co2 in?)

    Any help is VERY much appreciated!

    Cheers!

ALSO: i know someone is going to say it looks like i might have a slight case of the cobs, but im going to let it ride out for a few more hours, no longer than a day due to how fast it spreads, before i spray it with some H2O2, and test.

I dont see any sign of cobs, alot of areal myc. That is alot of water but some water build up on the surface is normal during colonization due to the temp difference from inside the tub compared to the outside. During colonization the myc gives off some heat. Is the room temp alot colder than the inside of the tub?

I never sweat a bit of pooling during colonisation. If it really bothers you. You can take the corker of a piece of paper towel and stick it in the pools to wick up the water. The yellow is metabolites. Mycelium doesn't piss. A lot of metabolites can be a good indication of a bacterial contamination. A little is no big deal.

okay sweet, it isnt much yellow. like maybe uhm... need a banana for scale here... uhm.. the width of a cig sized spot thats a little yellow. like i said, this is in areas near high myc buildup. i wicked it up with some paper towels like you suggested.

I see a few areas that are a little whispy looking,(i dont think the pictures show it properly) but as i said before gunna give it some time to develop to confirm my suspicion.  And there is a difference during the night time. room probably drops to around 70-75 degrees at night for 6 hours or so, then back up to around 75-80 for the next 18 hours or so. Give or take. But i do notice that when the cover is removed from the tub it is substantially warmer inside of the tub.

Also, a question to the both of ya, and anyone else feel free to chime in on any of this, should i wrap this baby up in a trash bag for the remainder of its colonization?


Thanks for all the help guys. Love yall!

Cheers!

No trash bag and sometimes mycelium can be pretty wispy. Cobweb will grow over your mycelium and looks like a cobweb.
