Looking for opinions on protecting mushies from loosing to bacteria (metabolites) with pictures
    #24240318 - 04/13/17 12:17 PM (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hi, I am on about my 9th day with my PE fruiting with monotub. Temperature is about 68-72, I just started providing a lamp light directly on my tub, it has been receiving sunlight through a window for the past nine. I noticed metabolites forming as you can see in the pictures.

1) I know that means the mycellium is fighting off bacteria, is there anything I can do to help them? I am misting with distilled water. I also provided a picture of the my holes and seeing if you guys have any problem with what I am doing.

2) Is my FAE just not working the bst? I know my holes are very packed on the bottom with a lot of polyfil. I am worried they are almost to packed, while my top ones are very loose.

3)I have also read that people sometimes mist their tubs since they may have messed up in making the monotub. In that case how long do you fan your monotub a day, and how much should I mist?

4) Also can any of you guys see primordia or anything? Let me know if you have any ideas for anything.

1,2,3 are my biggest questions
Note I am using WBS mixed with coco coir and fine vermiculite.

Mist with tap water or bottled water.
Distilled water has no ions so it's tonicity pulls ions from mycelium like the opposite of drinking an electrolyte it's like a de-elecrolyte.

The surface doesnt need a misting. Fanning is pointless. Mist if it needs

It will be fine

1. just use tap/bottled water.

2. if you ware unsure about the fae you can always crack the lid. or flip it.

3.

not sure what you mean. the goal of a monotub i guess is to have it 'passive' to the point where you
spawn it and never open it or inspect the surface conditions but wheres the fun in that?

no one is going to have a mono dialed in the first time. honestly your tub looks good. nice beads of moisture
on the surface and some slight bacteria but nothing crazy. its not matted or anything like that.. just give it time.

plus im almost positive penis's take some extra time to pin so sit back and chill. 13days from spawning was
the quickest i have seen pins. 9 days is nothing.

also loose the tape on the outside of the mono. its pointless.

and fanning is too. forgot to say that but bodhi posted before me so you got the idea.. i hope.

Hey i keep seeing users point out that fanning was pointless. I was just wondering why that is?

All it might do is JumpStart evaporation off the substrate, it'll happen within a few minutes anyways with a proper FC

FAE is automatic so fanning is basically pointless
