Monotub second flush healthy?

I just harvested my first flush 3 days ago and let the tub sit for 2 day then misted it heavily yesterday and today. Does this look healthy? no trich forming? was the misting enough or should I dunk it?


Thanks for your time and advise.

Misting is usually sufficient for the second flush. Your substrate looks happy and hasn't pulled away from the walls too much, so your moisture content is probably fine. Can't see any trich now, keep an eye on it though. Looks like you're on your way to a fat second harvest

Are those fruits left over from 1st flush? I'd pull them, they look like they are becoming bacterial and rotting. Probably very soft by now.

Sounds good to me I got 78 grams dry the first flush. Should i mist daily till i see more pins or is the one heavy misting enough?

Yes they are. Should i pull the pins too or just the bigger fruits?
Thanks for your advise.

Thanks, I picked all the fruits and any pins that looked water lodged. When should I expect the second flush to start pinning?

I see you're not using a liner. Did you have alot of side pinning first flush?

Taping the sides of the tub blocks light, which was previously thought to be a main pinning trigger, but it's actually not. The two main pinning triggers are 100% substrate colonization and moisture evaporation (FAE).
In order to keep your tub from side pinning, lay a garbage bag in it before you add your substrate and spawn. Color isn't important - clear works fine. As the substrate shrinks, the liner will shrink with it, preventing any fresh air from coming into contact with the sides or bottom of the tub. No moisture evaporation = no pins.
Of course feel free to try taping, but if you do a side-by-side comparison the results should be speak for themselves
