Well....one of the trays triched out. They have both been scrapped. I have 6 quarts incubating from MS right now. Needless to say I will be going with monotubs this go around. Live and learn...maybe i'll try a GH again at some point, but I need some success this next run for morale.
Edit: Btw, I caught it before it turned green, so that's good. Also, the GH was in a different area than the tubs will be...another good thing.

Alright I now have my two mono tubs going....one is behind the other by about a week. I didn't mist one of the tubs enough because I had to leave on business and so it is demonstrating some signs of that stress like some bluing in certain areas and some off white areas as well. I have upped my misting by quite a bit...it is ridiculously dry here.
Just curious to see how you guys would deal with this one. It still smells and looks relatively healthy except for the blue spots (doesn't rub off like trich) and the slight off white color.
Strangely I found another thread here where someone was saying Myc can get that off white look when it is maturing? To me it just looks dried out and possibly dead. Does anyone ever "scrape" or remove sections of the Myc's surface? That might be a stupid question but I'm just curious.

Alright here are some pics. Don't be too hard on me haha. I guess I just used to have more time to devote or something. I honestly have had many successful mono tub grows...it has to be that I had to leave them when I went out of town. Also, it is possible that the verm wasn't moist enough...I brought it to field capacity. However, it is so dry here that it is possible the whole thing dried out over the course of 3 days.
I can't tell if it is just badly bruised due to drying or if the off white spots are bacterial. It doesn't smell bad, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything at this point. At this point I'm wondering if I should flip it over and just hope that it gives one flush. Any advice is appreciated.

Yeah that doesn't look healthy at all. Bacteria for sure, and the bruising indicates it dried out. Flipping it might ensure a better first flush but it would probably also be the only flush. Tho I'm not sure how many a tub like that could have anyways. One might be the best you can hope for.

Also when people tell me they had many successful grows it tells me that they still haven't grown enough to understand that yesterday's success has no bearing on today's vector. In 2014 I ran somewhere around 200 tubs. Does that mean anything to my success levels today? Nope.

I appreciate your feedback. Yeah I know...I don't mean to say I've been doing it forever and have never had a failure...and I know that my past experience doesn't correlate with the present. I am really just saying that it seemed like when I followed the different teks I learned at one point it seemed to give an overall positive result. For whatever reason, whether it is my environment, not enough attention, mistakes, etc. I am running into a string of failures and it's just a bummer is all.

I just flipped it and the bottom looks really healthy. Hopefully I get one flush. The other tub is looking good because I didn't let it dry out. One thing I continue to underestimate is how dry it is here. I think when I first started out I misted a lot and maybe even kept it a bit too moist....somewhere along the line I thought if I provide more and MORE FAE that it would help produce larger flushes. Well I went too far with that thinking and this is twice now where I have let the substrate dry out and each time it weakens the myc and leaves it exposed to contams. Live and learn I suppose.
