Too many pins? (Pin Porn or Pin Problems?)
    #21724903 - 05/26/15 01:32 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

I seem to have a quite curious situation on my hands, so I decided to, at the risk of seeming a fool, to throw this one out there: Is there such a thing as having too many pins?

A little background: I've successfully grown in the past, but this is my first real attempt at a monotub. As seen in the pics below, at first glance, I seem to be doing good so far; this is the most amount of pins I have ever had in any grow, by far. However, I do have some concerns that the sheer number of pins currently present might hinder them developing into fully grown fruits; i.e. the mycelium has "too many mouths to feed" at once, and that there won't be nutrients left in the sub to have most of those pins fully mature, leaving me with few fruits and hundreds of undeveloped pins. I've searched the boards for more on this topic, but the results seem inconclusive at best. Some on here have harvested some of the pins to allow the remaining to grow into fruits, while others say that they should be left alone and to just harvest whatever comes of it. I figured i'd toss this problem out to the more seasoned montubbers to get their $0.02 on it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Current specs:

- Monotub w/ eight 1.5" diameter holes & polyfill; 4 top (loosely packed), 4 bottom (more tightly packed)
- PES Hawaiian strain
- 50/50 coir/verm substrate, @ ~ 3.5 inches deep
- ambient room temp of around 73C constantly
- FAE provided by indirect rotating fan
- RH seems optimal: no "fuzzy feet" around bottom of pins and top of sub has fine water droplets on surface, very little condensation on tub walls. Gently mist rarely.

For sure take and clone each and every cluster you have there.. at least to have that strain preserved to agar to work with,tweak & isolate further in the future. You have an absolutely awesome producing set of genitics there and people take months trying to isolate to get there lol

Dont miss out on future grows like that! Very cool and one of the best looking clusters ive ever seen... Now let's hope they make it to maturity.

I would man, but I don't have the time or resources to do so right now, so I guess i'll just have to let this tub go and see what happens. I think PES Hawaiians are just a kick ass strain; this is the 2nd time i've grown them and they were pretty crazy growing then too. My problem is that i'm a tinkerer, so i'm kinda having to stop myself from adjusting things with the tub.

I don't see the point of fanning a monotub, I'd try to tinker some water
onto the sub to support the massive pinset.

by the looks of the picture, OP, youre fucked. You mind as well throw out your grow.

The problem you have is an old ailment they used to call "pinninitis"


good luck on the next grow!

I was thinking the same thing, so I poured around 1/2 cup down the sides of the tub this morning to avoid directly soaking the top of the substrate. My main concern is that the sub will run out of nutrients trying to support all of those pins, and won't have enough left in the tank to see them mature into fruits. We'll see I guess.

Why fan a monotub? I mist my mono occasionally if its getting a lot if FAE and looks dry but other then flapping the lid once after I mist I would never fan a mono. Certainly not a few times a day. Not trying to jump on anyone but I see this being said all the time and have never understood the rationale behind it.

all fanning a tub would do is lower the RH and promote more evap off a substrate that needs all the water it can get to support those fruits.

dont worry about nutrients, theres more than enough nutes left in a sub that's exhausted anyway,
pouring water on top of the substrate is totally fine IME and so is side-watering it!

I do fan it once a day, just quickly enough to just clear out the built up CO2 and get some fresh air in there, but I don't do it for long because I don't want the tub to lose too much moisture.

Sorry I don't understand,  what is it helping? He has a killer pinset and they look healthy,  conditions are not a problem and it appears dialed in.

Okay I think this needs to be said. Fanning a monotub does nothing to lower or prevent CO2 buildup. The only purpose to fanning is to exchange the humid air with dry air. This is done to promote evaporation which is a pinning trigger and helps accelerate the evaporation of water on caps preventing psudomonias. Thats it.

Dial the poly in looser if they need more air. Drying the sub out by excessive fanning or leaving lids off is not going to do cubensis any favors.

If Areo wants to fan his tub with no holes that's his business. But too imply to someone new that it is providing meaningful FAE in a properly built, well dialed in mono is bad information. I remember a while ago some noob aborted his whole pinset by fanning his mono 5 times a day. He wasn't misting because he read that monos don't need misting. But he either read somewhere or someone told him fanning a mono was important and he pretty much lost the whole first flush. Because of bad information.  This is not about being nice or feeling "shroomey". This is about teaching good info and practices. If people want to spread bullshit information and not get called out on it they can fuck off to mycotopia.

We don't fan anything for FAE.

So, it's been a few days, so I figured i'd post a quick update. I checked in on the tub this morning, and as you can see from the picture below, it seems like the amount of pins have actually increased, but none have seemed to have gotten any bigger. This one's a real head scratcher, as i've never had a grow have this many pins, for this long, without any of them growing to maturity by now. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get this baby to finally fruit?

Well they do look marginally bigger compared to the first pic. I am going to caution you right now that with a pinset that dense the sub is goin to have a tough time supporting them all. Prepare for the fruits to be a little smaller and for aborts. I suggest that you mist a bit as your going to want to get every bit of extra water possible to them. Pouring some water in the edge of the liner would be a good thing too. Right now that is going to be the main factor, can the sub supply enough water to support that.

Edit: while its not a very good pic from what I can see its looking dry.  Give them a good mist for sure, they need it.

Indeed I do. I took Pastywhyte's advice and added more water to the sub. I poured around 3 cups of H2O in there and let it sit for a few hours and then poured off the excess, which amounted to around 1 cup. That seemed to do the trick, as some of the pins have started to take off:



The majority of the pins are still small, but i'm hoping as the bigger ones mature and get harvested, that at least some of the remaining pins will begin to mature also. Here's hoping.

Much obliged. I hope a good deal of those pins reaches maturity, but I have a feeling that this tub is going to be a one-shot johnny; i'll probably only be able to get one crazy flush out of it before it craps out. But, we'll see. I'll keep you all posted as things develop.

Time for another check-in. Things seem to be proceeding forward, if not smoothly. A handful of the pins began to mature after the addition of H2O a few days ago, and are almost nearly ready. Some fruits are also starting to swell underneath their caps, which is odd, but it doesn't seem to be contaminates. The only other thing to report is that I had to unfortunately remove some of the pins around and underneath the polyfill holes, as the pin clusters were so thick under the holes that they were beginning to push the polyfill out. Sacrifice the few to save the many, I suppose.

It's definitely interesting, to put it mildly. It will be more crazy when it comes time to make tea out of the ton of dried aborts i'll probably have. My usual method of measuring my tea dosage is based on the weight dried mature fruits, but i've heard that aborts are as potent as fully mature fruits, so I don't even know a ballpark amount i'll have to use to make a dosage similar to the dried mature weight.

Depends what I am eating. With penis a couple grams is often insane. Classic cubes I usually take 4 or 5 grams or so.

Yeah buddy, tea is the way to go if you want to minimize the stomach cramps. Doesn't last as long as eating them, around 5 hours or so, but it hits like a fucking hammer.

As for dosage, it really depends on what i'm going for. A few years ago, when I first started shroomin, i'd regularly do doses of 7-8g dry. My first real shroom trip was, admittedly ambitious on my part, around 80g wet blended with some fruit to make a smoothie; that one fucking blew my ass out of the water. Nowadays I usually go more for around 4 or 5 grams dry.

Sorry for the late update all; life has been pretty busy lately and I haven't had much of a chance to update. The mini-monotub ended up as a success, with a total of just slightly above 2.5oz, dried. As some had predicted, most of the harvested fruits were on the small side, but were pretty potent:



Unfortunately, the tub contaminated with verticillium shortly after the second flush; I had read here on the boards that some people believed the affected fruits would be ok after drying, however, after deciding to err on the side of caution, the remaining sub was tossed.

Naw man ya don't toss a sub with verticilium. Just up the FAE, lower the temps and stop misting. Vert is often misdiagnosed. At any rate at least ya got some food, next time will be better :grin:
