Wet bulk sub(help)
    #21693571 - 05/18/15 07:00 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

So my pasteurized compost dried out over the last few months and I had to spawn it to my colonized rye.


I had to add water to my bulk sub, but im not sure if I added too much because the trays look dark.

They are consolidating at regular speed, but every other time I did this but trays were not as dark and damp.

Am I alright? Do you think my trays will contam because I added my own water(maybe a little too much) to the bulk?

Did you not get it back to field cap & repastuerize it?

After that amount of time pasteurization of the sub would be necessary again I'm assuming...

well its colonizing and doesn't seem to be contaminating so..


im more so worried the trays will not fruit because of the wetness.


if a tray with bulk sub/grain is damp..is that bad? I mean.im sure It rain in nature so why wouldn't I be able to get away with this just once?



oh well...time will tell I guess.

1 dude tried telling me it wouldn't colonize at all and to toss the all...good thing I didn't listen to him because as of right now nothing is contaminating and they are colonizing at regular speed.

My only freaking question is if you guys believe too much water in the bulk sb is better than too less of water.

When it rains you have a much larger area to take in the extra water rather than just a simple tray. Don't make such comparisons. Cultivating and Nature are two different things. Nature has had millions of years to perfect itself. Cultivators only had a few decades.

Less water is a lot better than having too much water. It's much easier to add water than to remove it. There was a good explanation on this but I can't seem to find the thread again, I believe it was SBJ. Its much better to have a dry sub than an waterlogged sub.

Next time squeeze the extra water out to achieve field capacity and repasteurize it. You loose all of the effects of proper pasteurizing when add extra steps after the pasteurizing

You might be able to get away with it. An established mycelium is a tough nut

Perfect answer. Just what I was looking for.

Thank you :thumbup:

Next time pasturize your substrate right as youre going to use it dude.

But youre saying you added water to the pasturized sub before you spawned your trays yea?

Either way if the substrate was pasturized properly then it wont contam just because you added water to it.

Like Rosen Rot said, squeeze it to feild capacity next time.

What are you fruiting the trays in, a SGFC? If a substrate is tok wet you can lighten it up by leaving the lid off the FC for a period of time, and backing off misting.

my concern ismt that it will contam because of the pasteurization or non pasteurization. .my concern is that it will either contam or just not fruit because of the added water and the dark looking mycelium.


its colonizing fine but the myc isnt nice and white..its white but a darker shade of white. This is why im concerned. Will the myc hesl itself and become nice and fluffy white? If it doesn't. .and it stays dark white will it still fruit?

If its excessivly wet then that could cause it to contam.

Like I said, leaving the lid cracked or off can help dry it.

Post a photo? Hard to tell without one!
