Finally a decent Tub

Finally managed to have a decent monotub grow !
several incremental raise in sterility levels helped without doubt, but i still get a high contam ratio (trich)
90% of my grow is invitro now (giving credit to Violet here), which solved my problem.
but still i'm happy to succeed doing a decent mono.
Thx shroomery!



Not a canopy like we can see in some growth, but still beautiful and meaty shrooms.

A canopy is nice if that's your goal, but I'm also a big fan of what you've got going on there: Nice looking clusters with beautifully curved stems and good looking caps 'n' veils.
Nice job!

i meant more or less what i written: i mostly stopped doing tub, and most of my shroom are now growing invitro, i'm doing kind of pint cake in quart jars and i let the shrooms grow by themselves in that nearly closed environment (i just crack the lid a little)
The point being that it reduced my contamination rate to nearly nothing.

If it works. If you're into invitro you should try doing stones.

Were you getting trich in the jars or after you spawned to a tub?
Also how long did you wait between spawning to the tub and putting it in fruiting conditions? Did you use a casing layer or top layer?
I've had pretty good results recently using Damion5050's bucket tek, then just mixing it with the spawn, no casing or top layer, then leaving it for 2 weeks before putting into fruiting conditions. So easy.
Looks good though.

I find that if you are getting constant contamination when spawning to bulk, yet invitro is working for you, its likely your spawn is slightly bacterial. Your tub in the OP of this post resembles a bacterial bulk sub that pulled through. Watch for mean green tho cause it will often show itself shortly after the first flush in this scenario.

Why do you think it's slightly bacterial ? something in the mycelium appearance?
lately i tried to really up my sterile procedure, i re-checked each lid one by one to repair defects, i increased sterilization time, etc etc
if there is still some bacteria present, i don't fucking now what to do to avoid it:/

are you making sure your grains are dry on the outside and wet on the inside before you load them in jars? My main bacterial fuckups came from that.

Well, i won't say it's perfect, but in any case after 120 min at 16 psi, it should not be the main problem.
