Need opinions on my mini mono growth. * 1
    #24876473 - 12/29/17 04:36 PM (7 years, 19 days ago)

So one of the members on here told me my sub looked water logged in a different pic so I need more opinions please :smile:

Ok so I came home and took the dome off my mini mono and took some new pics, how's it look now? Also has anyone seen such aggressive mycellium??? It's growing up the tray liner lol or is this bad??

Hopefully you guys can tell me she's looking healthy!

Here are the old pics he was referring to.


Has anyone seen like the mycellium all standing up like that? Is That caused by lack of fae cause it's been looking like the fae was great.

Nothing wrong with that tub, it´s just mycelium growing. It will start to pin soon when it realizes it´s time!

Just remember to give the substrate a chance to evaporate off at least 50% of the water droplets before misting again. Evaporation off the sub is a key pinning trigger.

I understand that completely but I haven't misted this tub not once yet, haven't needed to. So I took off the dome just to help evap up the bigger drops atleast.

Yes, in that case you should probably keep the dome slightly ajar during the days to promote more evaporation and then close it up during the night when you sleep or when you are at work.

What Mateah said......  And I think that tub looks great!  Very good, aggressive looking type mycellium.... It looks like that 'cause it's looking for more food!!  I think it's gonna flush very well!!! :dancer:

You could probably just loosen the poly up until you see visible evaporation between morning and evening, if you don´t see so much evaporation then loosen the polyfil up a bit more. GL

It is called a mondi seedling tray with 7in dome. You can find them at your local hydroponic gardening shops.

Ok one more question, even with the dome off its still got tons of condensation on the surface. Is it ever going to completely dry up so I can mist this thingy lol.

Remove kebab the dome while you are home. Mist as needed. Put dome with medium poly on over night or when away.

It's been exposed without the dome 6 hours yesterday and the last 4 hours this morning and it's still pretty moist in there.

I used a clean paper towel to soak up some of the bigger water droplets and I noticed the water still looks like it's there on top just like shiny over the top of the surface.

Yeah I just realized it's only been in fruiting since the 27th. Patience it will be then but one last question before I just leave it alone and let nature run it's course.

I just purchased a 20$ 3 tier green house and I was going to fill it full of shoeboxes but should i just stick this tray in there untill my spawn is ready to go? The gh is holding 90%+ rh but idk how the fae in there would be. Opinions? I'll post a pic of it.

    #24879318 - 12/30/17 06:34 PM (7 years, 18 days ago)

*UPDATE*

So I decided since I already bought this green house and I had a 100$ Wal-Mart gift card id go shopping and fix her up for my up coming grow :smile:

So I got a couple led lighting strips and strapped them to each tier of my gh, at the moment it fits all my current projects with plenty of extra room so I also put my humidifier in there because the built in fan pushes all the humid air arround the gh walls and imo should provide additional fae while also keeping rh up? But provide answers if I'm wrong because I've seen contradiction on humidifiers In grow set ups.
I also picked up 12 shoe boxes I plan to spawn and fill up the gh with once these projects flush. I will be running 2x golden teacher, pes Amazonian, treasure coast, Puerto Rican, and some Malabars. What I have currently is huatulas that have started to knot up after 3 days of fruiting conditions, and some burmas on thier 2nd and 3rd flush I initially fruited in spawn bags then put into cc's.
Anyways here are some pics and let me know what you guys think of the set up :smile: it's been a real treat with all the help and input!

I wonder how high the RH is in your grow area for your substrate to evaporate off so slowly.. I guess it´s just a bonus it gets more fresh air without drying out too fast.

No I meant the RH in the grow area, in the room you are keeping the FC

MOARRR PICS!

The cake in the shoebox is a 3rd flush of huatulas and the other is a 2nd flush coming in of burmas. The big tray is also huatula cubensis which has been a variety I've found to produce some great visuals! The rest is my little work area :smile: and the shoeboxes I'm going to spawn with all those new bags of spawn!

Wow, no wonder you substrate has a hard time drying out :lmafo:

75% RH in the grow area is not bad I guess, but just count on that at substrate level will be saturation levels constantly, more FAE if your RH is that high in the grow area, maybe a fan :cheers:

OP you seem to know what you are doing.


I would start using pint size or even quart size jars.

You can also fill those spawn bags a lot more if you would like

If the substrate can not breathe properly then you´re gonna experience problems down the road. RH should actually swing a bit during the day and not be 100% constant all the time. The way your conditions are you could open air fruit for MANY hours during the day without risking of drying out the substrate too quick. I would not put a fan inside the GH but somewhere in the room. Anyway, keep doing what you´re doing it´s looking great so far, if there problems manifest further down the road we´ll deal with it then, but as of now it´s looking really good.!

Thanks brother man, yeah in the gh I've been open fruiting since yesterday and only needed to mist once when it seemed to be sucking up some moisture. I doubt the rh will drop inside the gh because i have my humidifier with the built in cool air blower running the whole time and moist subs and some perlite so it's pretty solid at 99% till I open to mist cakes ect.

Btw you've been really helpful and awesome with your info mateah!

So here is a day later update cause I like taking pics. I believe some of the airial mycellium got bruised when I misted it due to it being such fine strands, but other then that today is day 4 and she's super knotty!! Hopefully see pins in the next day or so! Tell me what you boys think.

Day 5 of fruiting update!
Still no visible pins unfortunately but I've noticed with this certain variety of cube in my past grows only likes to pin between 7-10 days in :/ idk why but I figure with the surface conditions it should be anyday like I've been saying lol.

My other little cake is growing nice on it's 3rd flush. I'll 9/10 break up the sub after this harvest and put in an outdoor spent patch.

I spawned 1 golden teacher shoebox last night with half pound of rye to a little over a half pound of sub and it's already starting to grow since it's such a even ratio! And I'll be spawning 3 more shoe boxes today in about an hour! I've got another gt, some pes Amazonian, and treasure coast to be spawned and the Malabars and Puerto Rican pf jars are about 70% done :smile:

Thanks brother! I just can't seem to figure out what's causing all the subs in my GH to bruise blue like that :/ maybe the misting and super humidity?? Idk I'm stumped lol just waiting on pins now.

Not to bad looking, you should get some nice fruits. I personally, based on my own experiences, think the mycelium is so aggressive because there is some slight bacteria in there, but bacteria doesn't stop fruits. To me it just looks like mycelium that is trying to outpace something. Once again this is only based on my experiences with bacterial tubs.

Yeah man you could be right only time will tell mow. I've heard from members here that going from ms to rye to pre made sub *this is my last go with them* that there is probably bacteria either way.

Yea spore straight to grain will have at least a slight bit of bacteria. There is just no way to have a 100% clean spore syringe, maybe if you grew it in vitro, never opened the container except when harvesting and did all work in front of a flow hood. Spore prints, by nature, just carry contams with them.

True that brother it makes sense, in your opinion should I go ms to agar make a few healthy transfers and then go agar to whole oats?

Spore to agar, clean up on agar, then to grains is a safer route.

This is what I did and will continue to do.

MS to agar.
Agar to agar
agar to grain
Grain to grain.

Honestly you will never use MS again


Just use the agar to multiply your agar then use some agar for a g2g jar.
Then use your g2g jar to make how ever many grain jars you want

Then use those jars to spawn to bulk.

Rinse repeat.:smoker:


I use pint jars and a small pressure cooker.

I can only do 3 pints at a time.

Thanks for the tip brother I think I'll go that route! Lucky for me Christmas brought a 23 qt presto pc so I'll have room for plenty of grain jars :smile:
Other then that still no pinning on the tray :patience:
The 3rd flush of my cake is getting huge and is loving open air fruiting and breathing like a boss!
2nd flush of my burmas are pinning good now and will probably put out another 20g dried give or take.
And I made up 1 shoebox on the 1st that's doing freaking awesome and 3 more last night that all should be fruiting by this time next week:)
(Green spot on the tray is really blue bruising I can't figure out what's causing it though)
PICS!!

BLESS ME PIN GODS!!!!

So here's a little update!

This morning I harvested my 3rd flush of cubensis huatula, only got 82 grams wet but I'm thinking the cake is nearly spent it looks gross.
The 2nd flush of burmas is filling in nicely and It should push another 15 grams give or take a few.
I upgraded my lighting a bit with 2 48" t8 6500k bulbs and the boomers love it!

Oh and the bulk tray has 1 pin lol but only one! So hopefully it triggers the others to start but atleast it's somthing!
And shoeboxes are looking freaking Awesome! I'm shocked how fast they colonize it's been 2 days I'm at 65%.

I'll take a pic of the tray pin once it's more impressive :smile:

I got 29 grams dried 1st flush from these.. it could be cause of ms, could be cause it's a small fruiting variety? Who knows but I've had 5 of these "cakes" and not a single one has pulled over 30 grams dry a flush.

Hence why I'm moving to monos and shoeboxes and getting rid of this premade substrate grow kits.

Yea man with your sweet little stand up green house thing those shoeboxes are perfect as hell.

I don'
t have a greenhouse setup but only a closet but I am only focusing on the shoebox method. I just had a monotub and it went bad on me. I was pissed but decided it's time to focus on a different method.

Good work so far :dancer:

I honestly have no idea bro.

It blows big time. I made sure that shit was perfect as hell from the time i mixed all the sub and coir to gather to the time I took it out to fruit it.

I guess it can just happen. That's why the last week I have been going overkill with spawn jars. I ran out of lids today which is nice because I have about 15 pint size jars with a big ass piece of agar in each of them. I will use one for g2g when the time comes and I get some more lids back haha.

I plan on doing 1.5quarts (3 pints) per shoebox maybe even 1 quart.

That's perfect for me because I can only fit 3 pint size jars in my PC at a time anyway.

Never bought quart size jars yet. I kinda like the mini versions of things. Shoeboxes just seem my route. And from what I read and have seen from Munchauzen in a few posts his shit is off the hook

That's weird man, did it tam out before the 1st flush??

Also themadhatter420 just pulled 970 grams wet outta a shoebox with 2 quarts of spawn!

My shoeboxes should be fruiting in about 2-3 days from now :smile: and my GH holds 12 of them perfectly.

Agar has me mad with power haha.

I followed the TEK and was supposed to be able to fill 10 plates.

Well I filled the 10 plates decently thick and still had a shitload left over.

I honestly thought I would have failed my first attempt but it actually went better than expected.

I will probably throw some away because I won't get to it in time. Ran out of jars and lids just today.

Oh well. I can finally relax and just play the waiting game.

I have read a lot of agar TEKs and I think I am going to write one up of my own. I like BODs method with the 500ml Pyrex glass Bottle.

I need to put stuff in my journal anyway

I didn't mind spending the cash on the supplies only because it's a long term investment for me personally.

I think the Pyrex glass bottle is badass as well haha.

It's up to use but I like the plastic petri dishes and pouring them in my SAB.

It may be more work in some ways but in other ways it's not


Honestly after you  mix the 3 ingredient sup in the agar bottle and PC it the only thing left to do is wait for the temperature to fall the a point where you can pour them.

Then wait until the plates have cooled for 5 mins and put some spores in each plate.

This is just my take on it. Whatever you feel more comfortable doing you should do.

But if you have any questions here is the TEK and I would gladly answer any questions you might have in a PM

Then wait until the plates have cooled for 5 mins and put some spores in each plate.

This is just my take on it. Whatever you feel more comfortable doing you should do.

But if you have any questions here is the TEK and I would gladly answer any questions you might have in a PM

He jumps around and rambles on at times but all the information is there.



Yeah I've read the tek a few times I'm just waiting for my supplies to arrive! :laugh:

So do u just slide the tip of the spore syringe into the petri and squirt a drop?

I think the Pyrex glass bottle is badass as well haha.

It's up to use but I like the plastic petri dishes and pouring them in my SAB.

Flame the needle and drop a drop of MS onto the dish then use your flamed sterilized loop to make a swirl pattern.

But thinking back to my petri dishes making a streak plate using a zig zag pattern but it didn't do shit.
It started colonizing right where I put the drop of solution

Here's some pics to show you. I dropped some solution right on the little hole where I shoved my loop in. Clearly I got different results haha. I wouldn't worry about the streak pattern so much. I would just drop a drop on each plate and let them colonize. Then once they are colonized AGAR to AGAR is simple as pie. Then you never have to use MS again






FULLY COLONIZED :smile:

This first one is like a 3-D wave at the end. Fucking dope



I have so much AGAR i either use 1/3 or a half of the entire plate to put right into a sterilized grain jar and shake away.

Here's an update! The pinset in the tray is popping through decent, not the most uniform but I've let it get dried out to much now. My 2nd flush from the Burma cake is putting out some monsters! And I have 3 shoeboxes into fruiting, one still colonizing and 2 more I'll be spawning today!
Also hopefully my agar supplies get in today and I'll be working with that and clones/prints.

That last pic is for you mushboy! Lol;)

Yeah the tray looks better today I'm having more hopes for it, I've been watching it every hour or so to make sure surface conditions are optimal and it's looking a lot better. I'll probably taken some more pics later because that one doesn't do it justice. There is maybe 6 pins in that pic and 30+ now.

Also i just spawned 2 more shoeboxes but 1 of them seemed like the rye might have been fighting some bacteria so I marked it iffy lol.

You can use those jars yea.

I just prefer the petri dishes IMO.

I even use the plastic ones and reuse them.

No I can't presure cook plastic petriu dishes but cleaning them in the sink and then rubbing them down with 70% alch hasn't failed me yet :dancer:

The plastic lids that are with the ball jars are fine to PC. just don't tighten em all the way before PC-ing. Leave them a bit loose during the PC cycle and then tighten em up as you take em out of the PC.

Damn Amazon prime lost my malt extract for my agar and say it can come between now and the 12th.. was supposed to arrive Saturday by 8pm.. might make some brf agar later just to dip my toes into the agar water.

Saturday night I tried out my new pc and homemade ship lids with sfd's I crafted together and they seemed to hold up awesome in the 2hr pc cycle.

I tried to follow bods easy af oats prep since I have so many syringes I was going to try out a new variety (Puerto ricans) but I was kinda drunk and ended up using wayyy too much oats and then had so fucking many I couldn't get them to fit into my 2 strainers without spilling over and making a mess lol. Needless to say I ended up loading them into the jars too wet and it was a big nasty mess at 4am :/ I'll try again sober minded either today or tomorrow.

My 2nd flush of the Burma cake ended up putting out some super hardy fruits and dried to 19 grams, I took 6.2 grams dried last night and had one of the most CEV trips I've ever experienced and I've done changa and deemz like 20 times! I might do a trip report later but my recollection could never do it justice lol.

Tray should be ready to harvest in the next 3-4 days and my shoeboxes probably a week. I'll update with more pics later today.

Wipe the inside and outside of the petri dishes with alch. Then the alch evaporates quite quickly.

Put all your freshly clean petri dishes inside of your SAB and BOOM start pouring your agar from your media bottle into the petri dishes.

Yes they work. This has been my second attempt with this and have only had one petri dish contaminate out of 20.

For me that's incredible considering I don't need all these agar.

I don't even know what to do with the rest of these fully colonized agar dishes.:shrug:

A little 70% alch can go a long way.:dancer:

Thanks brother man, idk if it's cause the substrate is only like 2in thick or what but these fruits are a bit smaller then they normally are at this stage :/ probably won't get 2 zips dried. But it's weird cause I'm still seeing new pins pop up. This ms flush is all over the place lol.

Yea it takes practice on lots of levels. I haven't fully figured out all the technical details to dial it all in.

But for someone like me that eats all of them an oz dry is plenty for me haha.

I ran out of room to store them back in the day.

Hell yeah myc9! I got impatient waiting for prime to ship me my light malt extract so I ended up making brf agar following bods tek.
I did 3 no pours with homemade lids with sfd's and ships, and then I poured 3 plates in my sab! Put some of Madhatter420's LGT clone on 2 plates, did some Puerto Ricans on 2 and then 1 Malabar plate and it's been like 2 days so far.

This morning I woke up to my babies just about ready to harvest!! It's not quite a canopy but it's pretty close for ms and how bad I let the sub dry out multiple times.

And my first 2 shoe boxes are starting to knot up also.
Here's some pics!

When you fruited that tray did you just leave it out in the open like that?

Seemed to work fine. Just curious on how this tray preformed compared to enclosed trays you may have

Nah man lol its only out in the open when I'm misting it or putting it on the photo shoot!
The rest of the time it's got the dome on and is inside my green house loving life, I'm leaving it open today though because hatter was saying that open air fruiting the last 6 hours before harvesting and he's seen a good bit of growth and weight between then.

So I harvested today and ended up with 412 grams wet, they are all in the dehydrator now and I'll report back with dry weight when I have it.

These fruits seemed smaller then I normally get with this variety in the past and I think it might be due to sub depth and me letting it dry out cause of that.
