First time monotub pinporn plus questions!!!!
    #23657083 - 09/18/16 09:27 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Hello all,
I have been learning techniques from shroomery.org for a few months now, and have been quite pleased with the plethora of knowedge availabe on this awesome site. I am a bit of a novice here but things are going pretty well. My first attempt at a monotub was started with B plus multispore inoculated into wbs. I let that colonize and then did a gtg to 6 more quart wbs jars. I saved one for another gtg and used the remaining 5 to spawn into a coco/verm/gypsum mix and filled a 90 quart monotub (the depth is a bit shallow but im still learning).

Anyway, about 12 days later it appeared fully colonized so I introduced this tub into fruiting conditions. 4 days later, my pinset arrived. It appears the majority of the pins are all in the center of the tub. About 2 days later, I began getting pins everywhere else. I will post pictures of my setup and pinset, but I have a few questions on optimizing my setup that I cant seem to find consistent answers to.

1. I imagine because the tub and thus the substrate was slightly concave in the center that the co2 and/or evaporation happened mostly in the center, thus causing so many pins to pop up there, but my questions is what can i tweak to get a nice even pinset all around.

2. In one end of the tub, the mycellium became quite fuzzy and hardly any pins popped up there. What caused this? Possible not enoough FAE?

3. Half of the fruits should be ready to harvest in a day or so, the rest are 2 to 3 days away. Is it better to harvest all at once or only when each fruit is ready?

I hope I am posting this in the proper message board. Once again, I am somewhat new to this and have been finding it difficult to get information directly relevant to my situation. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

Your tub looks bacterial to me... No problem with fae....your spawn was likely the cause of that end getting fuzzy and no fruits in that area...I'm about to fruit my first mini mono soon...congrats on the fruits though

Doesn't look that bad. If there is a bacteria issue it's minor. Looks more like just some ms randomness and some uneven substrate. A casing might help next time but those are going to grow up just fine. A good effort all around.

I think it looks pretty good for a first monotub attempt. I try to get my substrates very smooth on top (without compacting it) kind of like frosting on a birthday cake. Many say it is important, others not so much.

The fuzzy, blown up stuff could easily be some type of reaction to a contaminant if there weren't chunks of bumpy substrate to grow on in those areas.

If you inoculated grain with spores before germinating on agar and cleaning it up, this is a likely vector for contamination. I am in the process of trying to improve my own spawn procedures.

All other factors being within cube parameters:
Clean spawn=happy and successful mushroom grows.

A few times I have picked a bunch of shrooms and left a few hoping they would mature more. The ones I left stopped growing whatsoever and the substrate put out a second flush that shot up past the stagnant fruits that I left behind.

I ended up picking the ones I'd left and tossing them in the garbage because I don't know how healthy the tissue would be after sitting on the subtrate stagnating for a few days.

If you wait on the stragglers to mature you will likely have spores all over the place. This is not aesthetically pleasing. The tops will change color on the early ones and spores will be all over the other shrooms and stipes beneath them. The spores could eventually be used by contaminants as a food source as well if you are going for many flushes.

You may lose weight picking immature shrooms but they are likely quite active and they will still look nice when properly dried. This might not be a big deal to some people but I tend to find humans a superficial bunch (as a whole).

Also, if you clean the substrate bare, it will be ready to hydrate for another flush if you so desire.

So should I be misting the possibly contaminated areas with H2O2?

I'm not a TC... But I'd like to assume that my chime ins are valid... and the answer to using peroxide in any situation besides cobweb is always

:justno:

And even if you do get cobweb damn dude you got some serious shit to work on. Fae and spawn problems..
