Check my tub for me? (pics)
    #23517082 - 08/06/16 09:02 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

First time Monotub, using Franks WBS TEK, so I'm unsure how things are supposed to "be". Used Coir / Verm / Gypsum substrate 1/1 ratio, pasturized with bucked method. Cased with same shit, 1/2".

But I'm thinking things are not right. Looks like these pins are aborts? Or do I just need to wait?

A few notes:
-Got first pins about 3 days ago.

-Light is natural and indirect, but somewhat dim.

- At the advice of a few posts, I stuffed the polyfill in to the bottom holes TIGHT. As tight as could get it. Could it be too tight? Too much untrimmed "AFRO" sticking out, blocking air?

- I have a box fan in the room, never aimed at the tub, but near it, like 8 feet away and aimed at the wall or away from the tub. It's not on all the time. I had noticeably more moisture a few days ago. Top vents are dry underneath, which is positive, right?

- I'm worried about mold. When I smell it, sometimes I smell pure myco, and sometimes it's not as good, like mold-ish. I can't tell.

- Are these pins aborts? They aren't opening up..so far.

- See that one with the streak? Is that mold?

Just give me a general idea if I'm off track or whatever. Thanks!!

nooooooo

My grains were solid I think. Shook em and they recovered fine. I wonder if the bucket tek for the coir/verm/gypsum was where I went wrong. I think I'll do a proper full pasteurization of the substrate next time.

:frown:

Anyone with a second opinion on the tubs?

[edit] Can I pick the pins for some sort of consolation before I trash it all? Wait a few days?

It's never the bucket. You can sterilize coir with no issues. Coir doesn't even have any real microbial life to begin with so properly pasteurizing coir is like jerking off with a condom on to protect against STD's.

Just leave it. Up the FAE a bit and you will probably see at least a flush. Might not even be trich, could just be some shitty genetics or something.

Yeah. The lanky shape and puny caps also suggest a little more going than just poor FAE.

They sure are growing, but still all tiny caps no bigger than stems. About half of them also are brownish in the stem. I see no discoloration in the substrate thus far.

What I'm wondering now is, are these safe to consume, or is that not a good idea? Should I just toss it all?

I'll upload a new updated pic later today. Thanks all.

They will be fine to consume. Don't toss until you see green.

Update.
So this is 4 days after the first pins. It's weird because they seem healthy, despite their pinnned state. I do see a bit of fuzz on the base. I'm increasing FAE with fan slightly more angled to tub. I also notice small white, and sometimes small dark spots on the "caps". Is that normal?

I'm excited to hear they could be consumed if one should want to. I consider it a fail, but not completely. It's only my 2nd grow, ever. So getting this far is cool. And next time..

By the way this is supposed to be Dakak Beach. From Freespores.com.

Could it just be weird genes? I still don't see green or other mold signs. Though, I read on another thread that Trich won't actually show for quite a while. Sorry, I'm a noob!

Any comments welcome!

I was hoping to get a little feedback from my last post. :tongue:

Are we allowed to bump our own threads? If not I apologize and won't do it again.

I think that the rules say you can bump your own thread but only if it has been 24 hours since your last post. That tub looks like it has a decent amount of pinning going on even if they all continue to grow looking a bit weird and skinny you should have a pretty good amount of funny looking shrooms to trip on while you prepare your next grow.  :bouncysmoke:
