Monotub day 17 contam or fine?

Spawned 2 bags of 3 pound mixed grain spawn bags to damions5050's coir tek. Its been 17 days and they just started to pin about 2 days ago and today i put in the poly-fill and took the towel off it for more light. Does this look like healthy mycelium/mushrooms. It smells fine I opened it for a second to smell it and take the picture.


Sorry for the shitty grammar and lack of information. Life is kind of fucked right now and I dont have much time.

Looks fine but 17 days is a little long, which leads me to think your temperatures must be a little to low. Pinning before full colonization can be a sign of bacteria, but if it smells fine than it's likely alright. Post more pics in a few days.
And nothing is wrong in your life right now, it's just wrong in your head. Take a breath and blow that shit out.  I prescribe 10mg of Fukitol daily. Take it easy, slow it down.

yea my room does get cold at night any where from 65-72. Might be to personal but my brother died(from a heroin overdose) last Saturday im 19 and he was 21 its the hardest thing ive had to deal with my whole life. Imma miss my bro he was always there for me when I needed him even if he didn't know it. Any ways sorry for venting.
The box is in the corner of my room, about 6 inches away from the wall on both sides. Is this to close? Should I rotate it every couple days? I will post updates in a few days and Ill try to keep the temps up. Again thanks for reading and sorry for venting.

I did dunk the grains for 20 minutes before I spawned them, might have been to wet? This is my first monotub. Here's a picture of the setup, imma change the light bulb for 5000k light and a timer on 12/12 when I can.

Loosen the top poly a bit give it some more fae besides that if you open the corner of that curtain a bit on the other side that will be beneficial indirect sunlight man

Is there a liner in between your substrate and tote? That much temperature fluctuation will cause lots of condensation and no liner means a water logged sub. That will surely slow colonization.
My condolences for your loss. Keep your head up bro. He lives on in your honor. And I finally got the balls to post after ten years of lurking lol

what would a liner have to do with a sub getting waterlogged?

All the condensation runs down the sides and pools between the sub and tub. Without a liner it's just soaking in that pooled water. Before I was hip to liners, my subs would have nasty uncolonized spots on the bottom and sides from soaking in standing water.

sounds more like a humidity or fae issue. condensation shouldnt accumulate to the point of water logging a substrate.
you reg is 13 and first post is now? lurking indeed. welcome.

ok here's a update day 19. I switched out the light bulb to a 5000k one and try to give it some daylight every morning. still smells fine but seems to be growing slow as shit.


 Does the monotub look like it's dialed correctly, I did a quick job so I'm not sure. This is a ms syringe of pes Hawaiian if any one was wondering. It has been getting neglected. Does this look like I can get an ounce or two out of it. thanks for reading and thanks for the advice. sorry for the shit Grammer I'm on my phone. I'll fix it later.

Trich is white before it sporulates. But I don't see trich on your picture. I see a lot of knots/primodia but no trichoderma.

I would mist Then, loosen the top then tighten the bottom based on condensation in your pic
