First contam I believe

Any ideas what causes this? Just opened these ten days after transferring the spawn to sub.

Looks like metabolites, just a sign of either stress or bacteria. In this case I think it's bacteria.

It will fruit just fine and you can eat the fruits just fine as well.

From some of the threads I found I think so too. The other tub had some of the same but was more clear. How can I avoid this next time?

They did get stressed I know during my move this weekend

A) Don't move anymore :lol:
B) Agar > Grains > Spawn usually leads to a less likelihood of contams.

You're fine though, a lot of grows have a level of bacteria in them.

It looks so wet. Is it yellow liquid or yellow growth under water?

I had some mycelium before that turned yellow and i believe it was dying underwater. I got the pooling under control and it turned back to a nice white in days. Not an expert though, especially on your grow, just my input.

Probably what was initially said then, metabolites caused by some sort of bacterial problem. Should at least put out some kind of crop the way it looks... Let it ride and good luck, my man!

I have the same thing going on and it seems to be clearing up with lighter misting (I'm fruiting coir/verm trays in an SGFC).  So if it's a monotub maybe it's not quite dialed in yet.

It's a dubtub. It's in spawn run right now so it's just the single tub covered in foil with GE holes covered by micro pore.

I'm PCing my casing tonight and will case tomorrow. I'll update soon!

Thanks for the help everyone! :smile:

I hope you mean your pasteurizing your casing in your PC, and not sterilizing it. Sterilized casings invite mold spores to grow on it's surface, while pasteurized casings allow beneficial microbes to survive and fight off contams.

I sterilized. I've read pros and cons to both. I went the sterile way this time. Next time I'm gonna do both and record differing results for myself.

Got them cased today.

Here's before the casing:







And here's one cased:

Good job!! :congrats: Are you gonna put that tub into fruiting now or wait for the surface to colonize to 30% first?

whats your casing layer material?

i wouldnt sterilize coir for casing layers, myc eats coir easier the more you cook it,
i just hydrate mine in room temp water.

if its peat based it needs to be pasteurized and (pre)limed

It's a 50/50+ verm/peat/lime casing.
