Looks fine to me. I personally would have tried to level it a bit better.

I plan on putting it into a mono or doing a open tray fruit. It is only one jar of wbs with three parts coir. So my pre made mono is way to large for this.

Looks like it's already producing metabolites; May be bacterial. Could use more fresh air exchange too. Fan more often, or modify that container like Mycologist217 suggested.

How green was your spot? (also is she dead now?)
Looks starved of fresh air, which is why that happened.
I would isolate that the best you can, if this is your one and only grow for a few gram's.

can I take a wild guess and say this is your first time spawning to bulk? that is not healthy growth at all, and you seem reluctant to accept it that's why I guess its your first.
just start over, that thing is not gonna turn out as you want.

looks pretty bad and you shud use more spawn then sub. you did 1:3 I normally go 4:2 or 4:3 and this is what mine looks like after 3 days in the mono and have put it into fruiting already

If you are using MS syringe that could be the problem. But most likely it's your sterile technique. If you are doing the dry verm for brf dont tilt it at all. Are you using a SAB? Whats your sterilising times and how big are the jars you are using?

Half pints, brown rice flour, flax, and verm. Cover with foil 90 min pc time 15 psi.
Let cool overnight with foil on. Remove foil. Wipe lids with 91 percent rubbing alcohol. While use alcohol flame for the syringe.
Inoculate (no sab yet). Then cover with micro tape

i think they are looking at all the shades of colors it's putting out and all the single strand rhizzo's , i don't see any need to panick or anything though...but i woudlnt' go putting more spawn then sub either, if i'm going to go that way i'll just case the grains

for me its how different the growth looks, the white chunks dont looks healthy, most of the strands sticking out dont looks healthy and I can almost smell the soggy bacteria just by looking at the picture. not being level doesnt mean not being healthy.

Yes, I suspect that just like everything else in this world, people are just as likely to take advice the wrong way. There are morbidly obese women that have an entire community of people claiming that they are just as healthy as people who aren't fat. Lol.
I always find it strange how people ask for opinions and advice because they think something is wrong but once they don't get the answer they want, they argue why the one giving the advice is wrong. Why would people who have successful grows under their belt be haters? That implies they are jealous... Lol. It's just absolutely ridiculous.
And I think the sub looks like shit too. Doesn't mean it won't give you fruit but it doesn't look healthy. I would make sure your polyfil is adjusted correctly, temps are good, and that you keep the substrate moist. It's possible that if it is sick that even in a properly dialed monotub you'll have to give it more attention than a healthy monotub. Mist the fucker. Best of luck!

Yes a SAB is a good addition to your equipment. It will help you avoid some nasty surprises. That said I did have success inoculating in open air (both grains and brf) but doing it in a SAB means u don't have to inoculate ninja style.(tilting jars,peeling back tyvek just enough and being faster overall) last batch I inoculated this way I only had 3 contams out of 26 but I still wouldnt reccomend it to someone just starting out.
also I found micropore to be a poor candidate for sufficient GE. it gets the job done but when I switched to tyvek colonisation was noticeably faster.
Edit: if a SAB is something you cant get your hands on soon remember to inject through the micropore and have a piece ready to put over the existing piece as soon as you pull syringe out. The less time the hole is exposed the less chance some shit will get inside

time from what? from spawning, full colonization? or from pins appear and until they are mature? contamination is a major pinning trigger, sets them into survival mode. the pins often look very sad tho and need good conditions to be able to mature.

If you see any green, toss it immediately, or you'll risk getting mold spores all over the place.

Here are some updates. Got more pins on this than expected. I am wondering how much longer do you guys think it will take till harvest?

I think what mushpunx means is why is the colonised sub resting on verm in a monotub?
If I were to do that cake style I would have built a SGFC and used perlite instead of verm with foil between the perlite and the cake.
Edit: also the top barely pinned because the sides is where there is most evaporation and FAE. notice how they are growing near the hole?

On second inspection of the thread I see you did wbs spawned to 1:3 coir. You then fruited the substrate as a cake rather than a bulk monotub. There's nothing wrong with that except you didn't follow a PF style tek while doing it. As previously stated you should have done a SGFC and used perlite instead of verm. Further you should have sprinkled some verm on the substrate so it will hold a good microclimate which in turn helps with pinning. Im not sure if you did but it's also a good idea to fill jar of grain with water for a few minutes prior to spawning. This way grains are already well hydrated (shrooms need a lot of water since its 90%of their weight). Also the substrate should not be touching the perlite or in your case the verm. At least verm doesn't hold as much water as perlite or it would have probably damaged the cake already.
All in all you seem to be having good results. Try doing a regular monotub next time I think it's much better for grains. Having 4 inches of substrate should give you optimal results. Goodluck and have fun tripping balls

Thank you. Trying to learn as much as I can. Any constructive criticism is helpful.

what happened from the point where you had a monotub to where you now have a small piece of the sub in another tub? did you do some surgery?

I was just curious on how well it would grow. So I put it in a cake style.

In first post he said he only had 1 wbs jar. I wondered that myself before I skimmed the thread once more
Edit: no its his second post in first page.

No. My updated pic is the original block of sub. I removed it from its original container to a bigger tub.

Should I move the sub away from the walls to give the mushrooms more room?

oh.. why did you move it?
you should rather move it to a sgfc style FC as SLH suggested.

The worst part about this since the hole is so big it might dry out your substrate too fast.
Also that thing is gonna keep breaking up while you harvest and its gonna be a bitch to rehydrate after flushes. Is it just in 2 pieces? Or are there more cracks? And are the pieces solid? Do you think they can withstand a dunk?

Its in two solid pieces. But I noticed a few of the pins are rubbing against the wall of the tub. Should I adjust it so it's not touching?

are the holes even uncovered? they/it looks taped up to me.
shrooms are growing, just let them do its thing, start a new grow and follow a tek, focus on clean spawn

It's micro~por tape on the holes

Micropore tape is only used for GE as far as I know. Don't you have a softtoy or an extra pillow for a bit of its stuffing?
Or you could leave this as it is and focus on a new grow while following a tek as best you can as spacechildo said. There is way too much to fix on this current grow.
Edit:
If you do not know the difference between GE and FAE here's the gist of it. GE Is gas exchange and what this does is keep oxygen levels very low so the mycelium go into growing mode. A lack of GE makes your jars stall. FAE on the other hand is a constant change in the air. Co2 goes out and oxygen comes in. This is needed when mycelium is fruiting . Lack of FAE will give you "fuzzy feet" shrooms, aerial mycelium and less pins. The constant change of air makes the water condensate at the surface of the substrate and this condensation triggers pinning.

Maybe if you explained why he needs a tek (ie. Being helpful) I might have noticed you saying that.
Edit: or do you just want to be acknowledged for stating the most obvious course of action first?

It was recommended he toss it or outdoor grow it on page one.
He didn't which doesn't matter, but he has since changed the environment so now pinpointing what will improve his grow is much harder.
This grow is all over such as the mono holes with micro pore instead of poly, cake/tray style fruiting, sitting on a bed of Verm.
But hey, what do I know?
