New Grower, second time poster, noided about monotubs
    #24017425 - 01/17/17 01:41 PM (7 years, 13 days ago)

Hi there everyone! This is my first grow and I've got 2 monotubs in a closet, they seem to be colonized maybe 10%-20% at 2 weeks today, they looked very similar a week ago, the halt in spread is kind of freaking me out, any suggestions on getting them back in speed?

My last post was also about my tubs, specifically their humidity and lids, I finally switched the lids from foil to the normal plastic lid resting on top today (seeing as they are in a dark room I agree with that suggestion), I took advantage and snapped some overview pics for the update post.




And here is a link to my last post

Hey, I am still fairly new so don't take me for any kind of instructor in mycology. My first few looked the same, didn't totally colonise the surface evenly, but it still pooped out a buttload of fruit. It was 26 celcius and in the front room with the blinds cracked and I had 3 tubs with fruits nearly touching the lids. I put them in the basement for the second flush and they came out all stringy.

Your vent holes are pretty tight and not in the recommended locations, I got it backwards but Cronicr said let er buck and it was a very successful batch. I would get more light on it and probably more air exchange to get it going. I think of it as how much light they would get between the leaves on the forest floor... if that helps.

What ya growing and whats the sub?

Something is wrong.

10-20% colonized after 2 weeks? Ya either your spawn was bacterial or
you let your sub dry out by using tinfoil as your lid and poly at spawning.

My bet is for bacterial spawn or some other contamination but after 2
weeks a tub should be fully colonized or damn near.

Im with mushboy here...more light and introduce to fruiting conditions.

It looks like your polyfil is a little tight, especially the upper holes...so maybe loosen it up a bit.

Ohhhh Happy days!! Thank you both! Fruiting is the step I'll take then, but I just wanna ask about my lighting cause I cannot keep them outside of that closet (Dogs, Siblings, Roomates, Ferret, you get the deal). I've got an old light set for an iguana, florescent long tubes, 2 of them each 54 Watts, I don't wanna scorch them so I can prolong it a couple days to get better lighting if that's not "adequate".

As for what I'm growing that's a good question! I was gifted fully colonized grain spawn jars when the papa of the jars was busted, just carrying on the line for him. I'll be excited to see if I can tell what strain they are.
The substrate is what he suggested, really simple 15% verm, 42.5% wheat straw, 42.5% horse poo, hand tested to field capacity.

So Natedawgnow do you think I would even be able to get a light harvest?

Scratch what I said earlier. I'm now gonna go with improper pasteurization of the sub.

I thought it was CVG at first but now that you say it is manure and
straw, I think it wasn't pasteurized all the way. That tub looks unhealthy
and 2 weeks is a long time to colonize. It looks like you already have it
in fruiting conditions (poly in the holes) so just ride it out but don't
hope for much :shrug:

Good luck!

I was a bit skeptical of the sub from the beginning, ordered the poo and straw already pasteurized and added un-pasteurized verm to that so we will see. Thanks for the good wishes!

Got the clear lids and two 13 Watt fluorescent lights in there after doing some research, removed a good amount of the polyfill from the holes, the substrate really did appear rather dry, should I mist it?

It's probably dry from poly at spawning and the ghetto lid :lol:

I don't think misting it could hurt it at this point
