GROW IS GOING ABNORMALLY SLOW - PLEASE HELP! (PICS)
    #21999506 - 07/26/15 11:20 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hello all,

Here are some picture of my current set-up. I am convinced something is wrong because 2 of my tubs had started producing pins about a week and are growing at a very, very slow rate. Here are some pics:



I want to point out that I had used this specific space to produce 8 tubs consistently at a rate of 2-4 dry pounds a month but this was in a new york winter so the temperature was very different. Here are some theories:

-temperature
-FAE
-polyfill being too tight/loose
-the tubs lost moisture (although the sides have condensation)
-...contam

i want to point out that the first tub i put in fruiting conditions started growing aerial myco and it was because the polyfill was too tight. i loosened it and pins started growing.

there are no visible signs of contam although i have to admit i am not good at spotting bacteria.

i think i have to put an air purifier in there to create FAE because i noticed that there is consistent aerial myco.

i am a relatively experienced grower but i took about a 6 month break so i don't remember specific time perimeters. i do remember that once pins show up, everything happens relatively fast so clearly something is wrong and an adjustment has to be made. please offer suggestions asap, specifically for set-up adjustments. thanks!!!

What strain is this?

I think the polyfill is still too tight:

You need more FAE or loosen your polyfill.

A week to pins is nothing lol. I see no contams but some only pop up after the first flush but it looks good honestly.

Thanks taGyo. I have seen this before but I have never used it. It makes sense that these poor guys are suffocating so I will re-adjust the polyfil and put my air purifier in there.

Nothing wrong with those tubs that I can see.  In fact, they look rather good!  Maybe it's a bit too warm for optimal growth?  The only thing I can think of after that is...sensescence??  :shrug:

this is south american 

my concern arose from other people's grow logs in which their tubs went from fruiting conditions to complete grown fruits ready to harvest in 8 days, and only 3 days from pins to full fruits

Those are people with a great natural environment.

More FAE typically produces pins faster but there's a thin line  between a healthy amount of FAE and drying out your substrate when no casing is used.

Depending on genetics it can take anywhere from 5 days to 14 from pins to harvest. PE especially takes a long time to grow but if you look at my sig both of those tubs took a full two weeks for the pinset to get in and mature. I wouldn't worry just yet.

thanks pastywhyte. only today did i put a thermo in there and as it turns out, it is 88 degrees. also, this is embarrassing.. i had no access to polyfil so i was using the innards of a pillow but my polyfil arrived in the mail yesterday so i switched everything.

i have 6 active tubs (and 3 in the process of colonizing). some of the ones i just opened are very obviously dried out because the cocoa is a light brown as opposed to next to black, so i am considering dunking them to re-hydrate them. in the past, when it was clear the tubs were not hydrated enough to have a good first flush, i have dunked them.

thanks again everyone.

Yeah, certain strains take their sweet time.  Sounds like the steps you've taken will help things move along.

Anyway, nice looking grow. I'm sure you'll be very pleased in the end. :thumbup:

i assumed the air purifier, because it blows out air, would cool down the closet as a fan would. the temp is remaining between 88-91f. does anyone have any suggestions as to how to cool down a small closet?

Open the closet door and run a fan or ac in the main room.
