Metabolites?.....and why?
    #25307706 - 07/04/18 06:46 AM (6 years, 6 months ago)

Have some cubes in shoeboxes and recently noticed some yellow slime starting, a little research and I believe that they are metabolites. So now is this normal or are they being stressed? Temperature is very consistent around 73 degrees, but what prompted me to open and check on them was the excessive moisture building up on the lid of the shoebox, and can be seen on the mycelium. I was pretty sure I got my field capacity correct during pasteurization....using a horse crap, vermiculite, worm casings, gypsum, coir mixture.....any thoughts would be appreciated as this is my first grow to make it this far....thanks.

Or can someone recommend if I put these into fruiting now?......seen anywhere from 50 to 100% colonization as optimal, planning on putting them into a monotub and using a 26 watt blue LED....any guidance from here would be nice!

Yeah I read you'll do from as little as 50 % colonization, so do you find you get more mold contamination sooner in your flushes?....

No, they're exposed to air at spawning anyway. I need to edit my tek to change that to colonization conditions are dumb.

Good to know....I always thought you encourage the mycelium to spread quickly as competing molds don't typically grow on each other, I've learned the hard way that using too little spawn to substrate allows more time for other molds to take hold.....but I learn (or unlearn) something new every time I come on here!
