{UPDATE 1/31/17}Third Flush -First APE mono 1

I have attempted my first APE monotub. I have heard these can be difficult to do. So far everything looks like it's going along fine. I did have some pooling on the surface which caused some yellowing. I used a paper towel to blot it up. If any of you pros have any tips, feel free to drop some knowledge.
This tub was 4qts WBS spawned to Damions5050 bucket tek, put into fruiting right away on 12/21

Have you ever allowed for the condensation to evaporate completely? Even the lid has dropplets falling. Water suffocates oxygen and that promotes bacteria. Get some air in there. The healthiest mycelium ive found in nature was cool and dry.

Are you saying leave the lid off and let it dry out a bit?

havent run any monos but it is ok to have it in the corner/up against a wall like that? SGFCs are supposed to have a min of 6 inches of space on every side

Im saying if your misting then stop. And if thats truly condensation buildup on the lid then your substrate is saturated from the bottom up. Either romove the humidity by unstuffing one of those poly holes for a couple hours a day or take a hit to yeild because your supporting a more bacterial environment. Good Luck. Looks like you got alot going on.
And monos are not efficient in there humidity keeping. They tend to get too wet. If doing a monotub id recommend styrofoam... Like a cooler

Hey OP, so far, you've received some questionable advice. The poster above (pblcenmy1) doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about. Some vets or other members with monotub skills should be in shortly to offer some sound advice. You might sop up that yellow pool of water with a paper towel.

looks like you are on your way my man, for small little spots like that i usually just tilt the tub and let the moisture run across the surface, metabs are not harmfut in fact they are the opposite

Yea sop that excess moisture up with a towel. Fresh air could have done that for you too. Good luck with the more sound information coming soon

I could have sworn there was a post in here from Cronicer saying to roll the moisture around the surface but now I can't see it any more. What's up with that?
Anyways I have soaked up the yellow spots with paper towels and will just leave it be for now.
Thanks for the advice all. Will report back soon, hopefully with some pin porn

Got some APE culture on agar right now thanks to Mycolorado. I'll be  Looking good so far! Out of curiosity, how thick is the casing layer?

Yea I don't want to jinx it. Read how difficult these can be. Honestly I didn't think it would make it this far hoping I'm passed the point of no return though, i see quite a few knots forming.
Kenetic you have been a big help. If I can get fruits and swab I got one with your name on it

Is that a ton of knotting I see? Idk... I've not looked into APE, but looks like ur casing is littered in spun hyphae. Somebody correct me I if wrong please.
I believe the condensation on this tub's inner wall could be heavier. I always shot for a good 1"-2" ring around each plug hole too. You could try loosening some of the poly to encourage sub surface evaporation.... Which facilitates nutrient transfer. Si there a fan ir a vent in that room Stirring up The Air?
I think your colony looks very strong though. Metabs are proof of that.
Hope the first flush is beautiful.
