OP, I'm with Azur. Your tubs don't look bacteria ridden.

Give them good 12/12 light cycle of strong 6500k spectrum, get a fan going in the room, and dial in your polyfil. If the sub is beaded with moisture, you can fan or loosen the poly. If the substrate is drying and lacks beaded moisture, you can mist lightly to replenish it.

Don't do anything too cray or drastic to that tub without running it by all of us first. Just be patient, that thing could definitely still pull through with some killer flushes. Sometimes tubs just act weird and are slow to flush.



Alright cool. Thanks for all the helps guys! I couldnt have made it this far without this forum! I think im def gonna start pressure cooking for 120 min just for the peace of mind. And right now I have them on 12/12 lightschedule on a timer and a fan in the room, facing at the wall next to the tub and I have already redialed in my polyfil. I found more oins this morning before I left for work, Ill upload a picture once I get home!

Spawn can also have hidden bacteria. It's the reason I don't and never will do grain to grain. Agar is the best way to get clean spawn. At least I've found that.




i use to get mold a lot when doing g2g in the small ass SAB i had.
so i had to switch to using ALL wedge>jars.
try switching to pints for ur masters, and cook with qts.
the smaller volume of grain will be sterilized way better, and its easier to g2g from small container to large qt jars in SAB.
bacteria won't come from g2g (its RARE).  it will come from insufficient sterilization in PC or the innoculant.  if ur using agar, and ur sure its clean, i'd bet on PC times or high temp during colonization.





I switched over to pints at Leafs sugguestion and I gotta say it was a great move. I dont know if its just me but it seems regardless of wedge size they seem to colonize much faster than quarts.
Theyre the perfect size to go to bags.

I still use quart jars as masters, but I want to start using pp5 screwtops for masters. I always drop 3 smaller wedges into my masters and shake them really well. That helps them colonize really quickly. I've been tempted to try LI if I end up doing a huge oyster grow this summer. Half gallons kick ass for g2g, but once I get my flowhood built I can g2g to bags, which will be even more awesome.

I have to say that half gallons are awesome. I can fit 4 in my 23qt presto which is more volume than it was designed to hold in quarts. Yes I can fit 10 quarts if I lay them on their side, but I don't like doing that. I've really come to like rye. I do 4 half gallons for 90 minutes. The rye I get is super clean though.

I have been doing 90 minutes but seriously almost all my g2gs from agar failed whereas very few of my agar to grains have. I'm not confident doing g2gs until I've got a flow hood cause eventually bacteria somehow gets to it in my sab. All my agars been contam free.. maybe it is dirty spawn.. I'll have to change my pc to 120 minutes cause now I'm paranoid. Wouldn't hurt anything to increase time.

If I drop 3 or so wedges per jar I can easily see it colonized in 2 weeks so it's not that slow compared to g2g. I just love the security of a2g




That sucks man im sure you will get it, i am doing pretty good with g2gs, bout 9/10 of my jars usually always colonize.
