what do i do now?
Toss the tubs and spawn new jars to coir, the manure tub is the one with the most green.
Ny jars are almost ready for second round and i can use the empty jars to noc up with clean agar for the first time.
I rate it was because i didn't keep some sub out to cover the top. i wont forget that this round?

It looks like its getting dry, try tightening up your top holes and giving it a mist.
I see blue myc, maybe you guys have better eyes then me though. Trich forms a little differently. I'll get pics in a second.

Maybe it's not.
Im looking again, the mycelium has the same color as the questionable spot. It could be a response to water drops from the top of the fruit chamber hitting the same area and causeing it to harden and bruise.

I don't know. That sure looks unusual, especially in the second picture. Maybe it isn't trich but proceed with caution.

yeah I'm not using a PC. also.. do I need to use tape/tyvek if I added a dry verm barrier to my jars or will they be fine without microspore tape or a tyvek filter?

It doesn't look like trich to me. It looks like bruising. Just keep an eye on it. If it gets green or spreads, get rid of it. Trich will usually have a bright white splotch first and look kind of thicker/foamy IME.

You can see a lot of blue/green bruising that kind of looks like trich, but it wasn't.

If your doing brf cakes then you don't need tyvek if you have the dry berm layer, correct.
However when you steam sterilize put tape over the holes you punched in the lid of the jar to prevent water from entering and messing with your dry verm layer

I don't have tape. can I just use tinfoil? I just prepared all my jars.. is it fine if I wait until tomorrow or the day after to sterilize? I don't have time to do it right now. and can I leave my pot with the sterilized jars sitting somewhere for a day or two before inoculating or would that allow contams to re-enter?

How's everyone doing tonight? My APE tubs are already colonizing the casing nicely.
Tonight I just deep cleaned my autoclave, and now I'm cooking 20 plates worth of agar. Im transferring mostly edibles, but a few cubes and exotics as well. Im about to get my first edible project of the winter going. After I get the agar out of the autoclave and the plates poured I'm PCing some millet for an elm oyster master. My king oyster and reishi look ready to go too. Usually I would let them go longer, but a dime sized wedge of an aggressive woodlover like ganoderma, pleurotus, or hypsizygus will eat a pint of millet in no time.

tape over the holes keeps your dry verm barrier clean, foil over the jars keeps water from entering the jars. if your dry verm barrier gets mold spores on top you can push those mold spores into the moist brf+verm mix when inoculating your cakes.
cakes can sit sterilized but not inoculated for some time yeah, i'd take them out of the pot tho to let the dry verm stay dry. what's this you're saying you dont have time to sterilize the jars? 90mins dude? make time! 
Hey Eno! good to see you around again kicking ass!

Hey taGyo, do you have any example pics of a AA+ jar with pins forming in vitro? Are the pins as white as the mycelium, or do they darken up a bit compared to the surrounding mycel?

Sounds awesome Eno,
Any soak in your Milo prep? I hate soaking.

I boil the millet for 5 minutes and soak it for 20. It's such a small grain that it hydrates it plenty.

where can I get microspore or electric tape? I've been pretty busy lately, but do you think stater bros, ralphs, or cvs would have one of those two (they're the only options I have to go to right now)? I filled up my jars last night and I'll be sterilizing tomorrow and inoculating on friday.. and then I won't be seeing them for around two weeks. if I sit them in a clean open tote on a shelf in my closet will that be fine or do they need to be exposed to light or something? also, I take the tape off for inoculation and don't put anymore on afterwards, right?

 Normal pins coming in nicely, still more pins starting to form as well, so far looks like this tub will turn out decent.
I just started a grow log/grow along in my journal to log my experiments in detail and to shoot the shit with other members. Everyone here is welcome to stop by and join in. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22655204 I will continue to update here as well

A local rite aid or CVS usually has micropore tape near the bandages I think?

As long as you're not doing that 12 hour soaking overnight shit then that's cool with me . I'll give that a shot.
