Nice, the ones I ordered are 810. Hopefully they will do. There will also be 3 of them, so that might help.

Should I put some boxes below the tubs to raise them closer to the light?

I use a 7$ desk lamp or a clamp lamp with reflector, you can get them right where you want them.

Turns out the bulbs I ordered are only 250 lumens lol.

Already put in an order for these babies,

The tops of my tubs are translucent, is this an issue?

Welp, things have only gone downhill since yesterday. A spot of trich appeared this morning and I'm not sure what to do.



I've moved my mini about 15 feet away from my monos, but now I'm freaking out thinking they've been contaminated. Should I just toss the mini and call it a day?

At lease I got these guys out of it lol,

Get it outside and cut out that section, maybe like an inch around it. I've cut out before when I spotted it right away and it turned out okay. Some people advise against it though. I would mist that spot lightly to keep the spores in place, cut an inch around it, and scoop out the bad spot with a spoon making sure you don't drop any. DO THIS OUTSIDE if you decide to do it...but either way, the tub needs to go out side. I had a feeling you were gonna see trich in that tub.

I was afraid it kinda looked like trich pins to me but wasn't sure, what I meant by something else going on. That sucks dude, id get it out of the house dump it outside in the shade you may get something.

What are the chances that the other tubs have already been infected? Am I going to see trich in those too?

I'm moving out of this apartment in about a month and a half so I don't mind if the surroundings are exposed to trich spores. If there's trich in the tub, does it effect the clean areas as well? Will the mushrooms that grow be edible or does trich destroy the whole thing?

The other tubs should be fine if they are healthy, the fruits are fine to eat as long as they look fine.

It's all part of learning man I've tossed more tubs than I have harvested but I figure out each time what I was doing wrong I been doing this 6 months and probably have another 6 till I can really eye ball the good and bad before shit goes wrong ... just take it as learning experience and go through the steps you did and try to pinpoint your flaws and read up on everything pertaining to that

The infected area doesn't look too bad. Maybe it hasn't has a chance drop its disease all over the place yet. Well that's assuming that the mini mono and the 2 mono's weren't made from the same batches of grain. And as far as the mushrooms being contaminated, RR said that green mold in mushrooms isn't harmful to people. Obviously don't snort the mold spores like a line of coke. But that's also assuming that what you have in your mushrooms is green mold. But typically, you will still get a 1st flush out of a contaminated tub. But, your mushrooms look the same as my last tubs of mushrooms which tells me that the substrate is FULL of trich and it just hasn't revealed it's self yet and that the mushrooms have indeed been infected by the contaminant. I just made a thread about my mushrooms asking if people would still consume them and every single person said to go for it. Now, when you harvest them, have some sort of process of elimination for which ones to throw out and which ones to keep. But you should be good.

It's all part of it dude, don't let it get you down. If you aren't working with agar,  start. Work on your sterile technique to produce the cleanest spawn possible.

I really have no right to be upset. It's my own fault for not wearing a face mask while preparing the coir. I got arrogant, thinking the HEPA filter in my appt would be enough to keep out contaminants. The same will probably happen with the other tubs. Hopefully I'll be able to get a couple trips worth out of them before it happens...

It's spawn and not the coir, a little RR humor "you can pick your nose while spawning to bulk" nose or ass? I can't remember.

Ya this is wrong man if using coir if it contams before you flush it's your spawn 100% if using hpoo and it contams before your first flush it could be  improper pasteurising or bad spawn or both I've dropped sweat dropped cigarette ash and never wash my hands plus whatever else is floating in the air and usually is my tubs goto shit I was already thinking they would because of an iffy jar
