My First Micro Mono
    #22177629 - 09/02/15 10:37 AM (8 years, 4 months ago)

I've got my first micro monotub (cereal box size) going and just wanted to get some opinions on how it looks. It's a half pint of PF Classic spawned to about a pint worth of horse manure and vermiculite. I placed this into fruiting a couple days ago, should I be seeing pins soon?

So, does this look healthy?

It's taken me a while to get to this point. The first syringes I purchased were from a former sponsor here and I battled with contaminated jars for the first month. 4 syringes later I've finally got what appears to be clean growth. I've since does a bunch of g2g and made up a lc syringe, everything looks good to me, not one of my g2g jars has shown contamination, nor has the lc. As long as everything looks good I'll be spawning my jars to two 20 quart mono's early next week.

I've got an outdoor pot that fruiting as well as a single cake from my contaminated/suspect jars. The outdoor pot has a little cobweb but unless I'm mistaken that shouldn't be a problem outside.

Here are a couple pics from today.

looks like it could have colonized alittle longer..

Also, looks bacterial, (overly wet) but I'd wait for someone else's opinion..

LOOKS GOOD TO ME.

Do the little tiny water drops always signal bacterial contamination?

You should be expecting pins any day now.

An updated shot of my largest pin in the outdoor pot.

Would it be ok to spray some h202 on it to knock down the cobweb after harvesting this mushroom?

This will be the first fruit I've ever grown, I'm hoping it ends up being at least 1 gram dry so I can take these for a test drive Saturday. 1-2 grams is my comfort zone, so I'm not worried about 1g not being enough.

I had a scary experience as a teenager when a native Newfoundlander decided to bring some liberty caps back after a trip home. Unfortunately he didn't warn of the potency...2 grams on a Wendys hamburger sent me to places my 17 year old mind wasn't prepared for. My memory is shit, but 16 years later I remember moments of that night vividly. Needless to say I respect the power of the shroom.

I'll post some more pics of the tub once it begins to fruit.

I dont see any cobweb. Trust me you'll know if you have cobweb mold.

You don't think that's cobweb in the outdoor pot? I've seen cobweb in a jar and thought this looked very similar.


Just realized I didn't add the the updated pic, this should give you a better look at what I'm talking about.

My bad I thought you were referring to the indoor pic but yea the pics kinda blurry but I still dont believe  that to be cobweb (although I have no personal experience with cobweb in outdoor grows)

Cobweb grows extraordinarily quick tho!

Well, I woke up to trich in the micro mono. Hopefully this was the result of opening the tub before it was fully colonized and not due to dirty spawn. I will be using coir instead of hpoo on my next tub. I've got a few jars that are only half full that I'll be doing in vitro.


Fortunately, I did get to harvest my first cube ever this morning. Weighs in at 20.2 grams wet. I'll be making myself some tea tonight before heading to watch a local band. Looking forward to a great night.

It wasn't from opening the tub and most likely was from dirty spawn. I have overly hydrated manure in the basement with no contams. It's been a couple months now. Manure is very resistant to contams.

I assumed so. I guess I'll see what happens with the jars I have left, they look clean but that obviously means nothing.

Im certain it's because you had uncolonized sects in your sub.

Next time make sure your sub is 100% colonized before fruiting. If you're not sure, post a picture and we'll help you.

Would I be best off just waiting until I see pins on the next tub? This tub was supposed to go smoothly, so I would be confident spawning to my 20 quart monos. I've got about 20 mixed sized jars that are all just about fully colonized and I really don't wan't to lose them all to trich.

Usually I wait to see a pinset in my monos before I fruit them.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket...
Make several tubs if you can, just stay within a 1:3 spawn ratio.

Also, don't consolidate your tubs until you see pins. That's is unnecessary..
Fruit @ 100% colonization.
