First pins. UPDATE AFTER ADJUSTMENTS WITH PHOTOS
    #22405386 - 10/19/15 08:25 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I think I have 2 pins in one of my tubs! Is in normal for just 2 to pop up at once... And is it a sign of poor pin set to follow? Last pic is of my second tub that hasn't pinned yet. 6 days since I put them into fruiting conditions.

It usually takes a few days for the pinset to come in. They will pop up sporadically at first then fill in fast.

So is it normal that some of the pins have brown tops while others have white?

There are pins everywhere. They popped up overnight. I can't fucking wait!!! I'm almost in disbelief that I didn't totally fuck this up. :rofl:

Is it true that if the lining is shrinking with the substrate that my substrate is too dry?

Here are some of my first pins!

I see lots of aerial mycelium, you need to increase your FAE. Loosen up those top holes a bit. :thumbup:

It's barely in there. Should I just take it out? Temps are at 75 degrees.

I would take it out for a few hours to give your sub a good FAE boost! How'd you stuff your bottom holes, perhaps you could loosen them up too just a bit. Too tight or too loose is not good, you gotta find that happy medium. Keep re-adjusting until the mycelium looks healthy again :levitate:

I noticed that the mycelium looked like it was lacking FAE last night so I loosened the polyfil on my bottom holes last night. I am pretty sure I over packed them. One tub looks like it took a bigger hit than the other, but since I removed the polyfil I have been getting pins like crazy. I notice some bruising where there was polyfil touching the mycelium in one tub.

The substrate was not leveled very well. Lesson learned. I can tell it is affecting the moisture on the surface. I have some pooling in areas. Based off comparissons to other people's tubs I think I should be able to get 1 to 2 flushes out of these tubs. My second set that are nearly colonized are much better than my first. Hopefully they perform better.

Pretty hard to over pack bottom holes. If they are loose be careful that the sub doesn't start to dry out. It can happen fast.

Thank you. I had a lot of excess polyfil hanging out the holes. I have adjusted the amount without making it too loose. Hopefully that helps.

There is some water pooling at the bottom of my tub. Should I drain it?

You should use a paper towel instead to absorb the water while trying your best not to put pressure on the sub.

Tilting the tub may disrupt the normal functioning of the mycelium and cause aborts. Better to be safe than sorry.

Bah. While trying to get water out of the bottom of one of the tubs, it flexed and the substrate cracked. The water is gone but I feel defeated. I know I'm going to feel the effects of this one. Bruising and aborts to come.

Water in the bottom is nothing to be worried about. Water pooling on the surface of the sub should be soaked up but if its at the bottom and you have a liner just leave it. I have seen subs floating with no issues.

...

...

I read so much conflicting info. I'm just going to go with the "do nothing unless a TC says otherwise" approach for now on. I was tripping about the possibility of Trich brewing at the bottom of my tub. Well.. It's gone now. There was minimal handling involved and it cracked only because it bent. If I'm to see any negative effects, how far out would I expect to see them?

A cracked sub will still fruit no problem.

If you were using a liner the pooled water would be on the outside of the sub, and not effecting it much. if it really bugged you you couldve folded up a paper towel and pushed it down the side of the sub to soak it up.

The only negative effect would be on yield I assume, and energy wasted on the myc recovering. I think you'll still be able to get multiple flushes.

One thing I've been learning lately is sometimes it's best to just let your project do it's thing. Over thinking and over worrying have tripped me up more than once.

Thanks. I did slide paper towels in there. That's how I broke it. I think I'll just leave it alone next time. You live and you learn! Right when I was getting pins!

It'll still fruit fine.

Yeah tons of conflicting info, its tough. Cubes grow well and easy, people find they like different approaches.

So the tote flexed?
I have some that do that easily, I hate it and why I dont like stacking some totes. Others stack them way up and move them around no problem. I've cracked some over the years and they turn out just fine. Probably wont see many more aborts than you normally would.
