So it's been 3 days since I cased my tub. It's showing good growth but I'm just a bit worried that it may be unsporulated trich. Any thoughts?

Looks okay so far, I don't see any green popping out anywhere. But, only time will tell. :levitate:

I have my tub in fruiting conditions now. I'm trying to dial it in as best I can. I stuffed the shit out of the bottom holes and left the top ones loose. Here's what I have
From the outside:







And the inside:





I'm trying to achieve that line of evaporation from the top holes like Frank shows in his tek but it doesn't look like I'm there yet.

The top holes still look a bit too tight. Use less polyfill and roll it into a ball, then flatten it out, as described in the tek. You want it barely stuffed in the top hole (almost falling out) for maximum FAE. :thumbup:

I could really use some advice guys!!
So I've been getting fuzzy feet on some of my shroomies but my poly is really really loose and I have a fan going so I'm not sure how to improve FAE anymore. Some of the walls are even starting to dry up on me. Any ideas on what I can do to improve??

Also, is it just me or do my fruits look a bit small/skinny?

I grew a couple BRF using the PF in high school, but am SERIOUSLY looking into the mono. Gonna do a PF grow, just to touch up a bit and then a monotub. My biggest thing lol is I literally dont know which site to get spores from...Im so noob I just want some syringes to check out. Sorry to post in the wrong feed,but really hoping to find some help and someone to guide me. Thanks guys

Make sure the fan is pointed away from the tub, or it'll eventually dry up the surface and slow down future pins from forming.

If your bottom holes are stuffed tight, and the top holes are dialed in loose, then weak genetics may play a role in why your shrooms look soo skinny. OR a contam hidden within the bulk sub, most likely from dirty spawn, that is slowing down the growth of healthy looking mushrooms.

How did you inoculate your spawn jars? I never use MS syringes to grain anymore, they're not trustworthy. I always use a clean wedge of agar and drop it into the jar, and G2G it to other jars once it's fully colonized. That is the best way to ensure clean spawn, given you perform good sterile procedures in the SAB.

Mad Season's tek helped me out a lot, as I'm a very visual learner. Take a look! http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21889950/fpart/1/vc/1

5 days!! I think something is wrong with mine then, either contam or bad genetics, I spawned mine on October 10th and took the tape off and introduced light seven days ago, still no signs of pins.

What do you think guys??

Could just be genetics or unclean spawn, resulting in a bacterial substrate, which could be why there is such a long delay in pin formation.

I wouldn't write it off yet, it looks good from what I can tell. If you don't see any pins in the next week, then there is definitely a contam in there.

And also, take that tape off the liner. After the first flush, the sub will start shrinking, and a small gap will be created that will encourage the growth of side pins. It's best to avoid that.

It's Costa Rican strain.

Hey psilo, thanks again. Unfortunately I did use an ms syringe cause I didn't have the materials for agar at the time. Just bought some agar flakes the other day and I plan on trying pasty plates. I know that when you use ms it's a gamble every time cause you don't know what type of genetics you're going to get. I was just hoping there was something I can improve on. I'm drying some of fruits right now and I'm a bit disappointed in my yield. I hope agar will change that.
