Mini Monotub not fully colonizing
    #25152014 - 04/19/18 10:02 PM (6 years, 8 months ago)

I have a mini mono tub set up with 6 1.5 inch holes and 3” of substrate depth. I covered the holes with duct tape and put my mono tub into a black plastic bag under my bed. I have left it there for two weeks and there’s is some growth but it’s seems spotty and covers about 60-70% of the surface. My question is why hasn’t the top fully colonized yet? Should I stuff the top 2 holes and leave it going for another couple of days?

My substrate is coco coir, with colonized rye berries. 1:2 ratio. Ms syringe (mazatapec)

Was probably too wet.

Or your spawn was no good.

My spawn was good there was no signs of contam and I purchased from Shroom supply. For the coco coir it barely dropped water drops when squeezed in your hand. Could it be that there is no gas exchange?

I didn't even see that part, could definitely be the bag over it under the bed. Stopping GE almost completely.

Colonize your grains and your tubs in bright ambient light.  I colonize and fruit in the same space.

No bag or anything necessary.


Just try fruiting it:shrug:

Well after a little over two weeks I’m with you I think I will just fruit it. This is my first run so as long as I don’t lose it to congamonation I will be pleased. I thought it should be in a dark room but I will try your way next time and colonize and fruit in the same spot. Will update about a week into fruiting, thanks
