- First Time Grow (PICS) - Expert Opinion needed

Hey guys
I made the silly jump to do a monotub for my first time grow.
I had pretty decent success up until now I did CMC + VERM + COIR substrate, Pastuerized in a PC AT 15psi
And this is my tub now. But it has a yellow metabolite liquid on the substrate.

How does it look? Any opinion on its health?
Thanks 🙏🏻

Looking okay so far, but your technique is off...You've sterilised the coir in the PC, not pasteurised it...You should just be using boiling water in the bucket tek..What's CMC? You don't need any additives, just coir, and verm is optional

Thanks for your response
CMC is cow manure compost, I also pastuerised the coir in the bucket with boiling water.
It’s just there is yellow metabolites in there too which I’m worried about, I read to tape the holes so CO2 would build up and put it away so the monotub could colonize.
Any advice you can give me to increase my success with my Golden Teacher Monotub?
Should I be worried about the yellow pools?
The scent is slightly musky and moist,
What should I do to create a healthier environment?
There was a cobweb mould in the corner which I sprayed with hydrogen peroxide and it fizzled away and melted. I can’t tell if it’s mycelium or cobweb?
Haha this is stressful, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

For your first attempt you should have kept it simple and just used coir..The yellow is metabolites caused by bacteria most likely, although if you've already had cobweb mold it's likely you'll see it or tric appear..
The idea about CO2 is outdated, taping the holes just keeps it moist during colonisation, although many people go straight to fruiting conditions these days. You need to add FAE, so either crack your lid open, or remove the tape and replace it with polyfill, see dialling your monotub link in my sig
