Wow, I almost shit my pants just now! I started FAE not even a couple hours ago, and all of a sudden I see this thin wispy looking thing, over 2" high. I'm thinking to myself, "No! - That's 1 of those stunted shroomies!".. But then upon closer inspection, I've come to the conclusion is a germinated grain of rye seed! What the hell?! This can't be THAT uncommon, right? RIGHT?!

Would you eat it?! There's was probably 0.01g of myc that came up with the end of it!

Looking at the tub right now, I can see that this lil guy has gotten even taller. Judging by the rye bean-sprout I pulled out though, I have a feeling that's what this is too, but still encapsulated in myc. Should I pull it out or just leave it be?

OK alright, it still looks the same now, hasn't grown much more.
I plan on popping the lid off once in a while to supplement FAE, since my holes are on the small side. When I pop the lid off though, I dunno if it's just my perception, but I swear it smells like plant-life now. I don't see how that's possible though.
How many times a day is good to open it up, maybe 3?

I wouldnt bother. But yeah you could open it three times a day. If you have that much time just start a new project.

OK ccool. Also 1 more thing, do you usually do anything when you see mini puddles of standing water around the edges? I'm talking about ones the size of a small round pill.

Updated pic, anyone see any potential problems? I took it with no flash, so you can get a better interpretation of the color. I've switched things up a little though since I still see a nice amount of condensation. I have the type of tub that has 2 handles that "latch" closed. I obviously have had them closed up until now, but I've since unlatched them into the upward position. It brings the lid up about a mm over the tub, so it will aid in more FAE. I'm also seeing some spots of yellow/orange buildup, but that's normal from what I've read.

Any big pools of water you can carefully suck up with a paper towel, Sucks it up fast if you twist it into a wick shape and just touch the pool with it.

OK perfect! Because I did it yesterday with a little piece of toilet paper around the edges haha. I was surprised how much liquid came up (only did the wettest spots though). I felt like I had to, but I figure if's a small enough drop, it's nothing to worry about.
EDIT: can confirm things are lookin good!
EDIT II: just sopped up the mini puddles of juice, and it smells a lot more mycey!

sucking up the pools is a good idea? and how much would be too much pooling :P i thought that pooling was okay aslong as the FAE goes up?
water evaporation=pinning?

When you would consider it a pool of water instead of small droplets, IME small droplets will eventually evaporate but pools hang around not evaporating. best for pinning if surface is covered very fine beads.
In his pic, kind of blurry but just to the left of the top right polly I would consider that a small pool.

Looks like this 2nd rye-sprout was no match for the encrusting myc which encapsulates it. I've never seen anything like it - but I'm just a researcher, after all!

The sprouts come from random seeds in the brick of coir, Eco earth by any chance?
