My first mono, third grow after a couple shoeboxes. I used 4 myco quarts to 1 coir brick. I let the surface get a bit dry at first and ran into a bit of a gnat infestation, but it pulled through. This is a clone from a sporeless Menace fruit.

I think I've got mold growing in my tub. There's a blue/green color sporadic through the left side of the tub in this pic:

It's hard to see, but I don't want to grow mold any longer than I have to. Can anyone confirm that it's mold, or is this just the bluish bruising I've heard can happen? The green color doesn't seem right, and I haven't done any misting for days, which is what I thought causes bruising. So I don't think it's bruising.
This is day 17 and my second attempt at a grow. The last one had mold right about this time. So I'm pretty sure my spawn isn't clean and I need to return to agar and do a better job there.
Thanks!

Really?! That's good to hear. Perhaps I'm just being paranoid. I'll keep waiting. Thanks!

Sometimes if my tubs are dry/have subpar conditions before first flush they have a hint of blue. 17 days is quite a bit of time tho. Are you growing PE?

I'm pretty sure PE is penis envy, right? No, mine are F+. Hopefully it is just the blue from being too dry like you're saying. I think it has been too dry the whole time. I had the lid upside down from the start and it wasn't developing the beads of moisture on the surface. I put the lid face down yesterday and it's much more moist now. I'm hoping that's the problem and now I'll try to dial it in by switching lid sides depending on surface moisture. I had to start misting daily to keep the surface from drying, which I know is not what is supposed to be happening before the first flush. My room has lots of air movement and that may be why it's drying up so easily. Please correct me if I'm wrong about this strategy.

You sound like you have the right idea. It's all about dialing it in

This is another one.. 20 Qt. but the sizes are a little different from the other one.

This one compare with the other tub has a little,very little less moisture on the surface and walls.
I just wondering if at this time should i look for some signal on the surface and start the game of " dry-moist-dry-moist" for pinning trigger..
Thanks in advance.. !

Ok.After seven days the first pins came out..

So the plan from here to future its give them lot of air ( more i can its better ?) but keep the eye on the surface moisture..
The surface moisture from here needs to be always like the pic or could be (need to be )a little more dry for pins coming ?


Replies are welcome pretty much ! Thanks

I'd leave it be until the pinset fully develops before increasing FAE... the developing fruit will do quite well at maintaining microclimate at the surface... keep in mind that evaporation is a pinning trigger, and can not occur if you mist obsessively... allow the surface to nearly dry completely between mistings to stimulate pinning and avoid over-saturating the substrate... remember that you're misting to maintain surface moisture and not to hydrate the substrate... this can be done between flushes with a heavy misting, or short dunk... surface moisture looks good, but you're going to do more harm than good obsessing about it... let it go as is, it'll do it's thing, and teach you how little it really needs (even wants) your attention
I RARELY mist more than once prior to first flush harvest

Thanks for reply ! I never in this seven days mist at all. That moisture is the natural of the substrate.
what i think to do them reading u suggestion its to..:
Let the pinset form at all and still have the lid upside down..
Then increase the evaporation open the lid (90 degress) until dry..and mist again to initial mositure.
Thats ok ?
Thanks. I apreciate !

I'd leave it alone if it shows no sign of insufficient FAE (i.e. slow growth, fuzz halfway up stipes etc)... want to maximize FAE sure, but at a certain point, you're losing humidity control, whilst gaining minimal (if any)increase in air exchange... I find most lids fit imperfectly enough that you need not even flip them really... the tubs in the OP are lined with foam inside the lip as to create an intentional airtight seal, and therefore require that you flip them to get any FAE at all...
Just sit back, light one up, and watch it do it's thing man

I suggest just flipping the lid to crank FAE and ignore it until the first flush. I doubt you'll need to angle the lid or anything but if you do it's no biggie. 90 degrees is way overboard tho
