Great for PE and any slow pinning cultures. Casing also provides an excellent pinning surface regardless of RH.
Holy cow... I don't think this Tek was around 5-6 years ago. I'll give it a shot for my next couple tubs. Thanks for the tip

Last picture before I started harvesting. Picked the big ones and got 475.8 grams. There are about twice as many smaller mushrooms and pins so hopefully I can double that number once they mature..The biggest one in the middle was 40 grams on the nose

Id DEFINITELY get that tub FAR away from your regular grow / work area. If it is trich and it sporulates it could contaminate your whole house / grow area for months. Believe this... it happened to me 2 years ago and still run into problems from residual spore load I inadvertently released.
You can isolate the grow to a "safer" area and grow out the pins that are present. If you are lucky and pull a 1st flush I would absolutely bury that fucker after that.
I know that is not what we like to hear when we put alot of time and work into a grow.... but it's just part of the hobby... contaminated grows do and will happen.... no matter the level of experience a grower has...

Serious? This thread has been full of people telling him to toss it meanwhile we've seen no contam growth and a full flush harvest...
Don't toss it unless you actually see something bad growing; so far all we saw were mushrooms growing.

OP himself suspected a possible contam(s)...
My advice was to initially get it away from other grows or work area and fruit it out.
Although it can be difficult to tell from photos, anytime I see a much brighter white patch than the surrounding mycelium, I keep a very close eye on it as un-sporulated trich can look very similiar to cube mycelium, trich is usually a "brighter" white.
This is from past experience with the dreaded trich.
I would much rather be safer than sorry. Especially since trich spores can make it very hard or impossible to have successful grows once those fucking spores get everywhere.
Just trying to save OP a lot of potential headache down the road...
Do what you will....

None yet. Dunked 6 days ago waiting for pins. Guess it's supposed to take a while? The tub looks relatively healthy considering though so I expect to see something come from it...

Hey guys- Just wanted to update. i didn't snap an pics but I did manage to pull 2 oz off the second flush. The substrate looked pretty beat up, yellow and covered in spores. Instead of prolonging the inevitable I decided to toss it. Time for the next project!
