A stalled tub
#22074214 - 08/10/15 10:45 PM (8 years, 5 months ago) |

29 July I mixed a quart of fully colonized rye berries--Texas is the variety--with straight sterilized coir. I may have added some gypsum to this, don't reacall and don't find it in my notes, but my notes are pretty cryptic so I may have added gypsum and may have not. Anyway,the spawn and substrate are in a clear tuperware like container. When I look to see what is happening I find that NADA is happening. I wonder, do I have a problem, or can it take that long with coir?
PS The temperature this tub has been colonizing in is 75-80. The top of the container has a 3/8 in hole drilled in it that is covered with micropore tape.

I have uploaded a pic that gives a very good view:

It looks clean, no?

How does it smell? If it doesn't smell than my guess is too wet.

it looks clean and if theres no smell it should be fine. it does look like the tub is a little to full, could just be taking longer for the mycelium to grow threw.
