Shoebox fluffy, contaminated?
    #26332569 - 11/20/19 01:45 AM (4 years, 2 months ago)

Hi! I have shredded pf cakes and spawned them to CV about 5 days ago, now as its my first use of CV as a sub I'm not sure if the shoebox in the following pics is contaminated or just really fluffy. Looks foamy to me on 2 or 3 spots. Maybe it's just water droplets on the fluffy stuff? Whats your opinion?

Looks fine for my eye. keep on waiting, try not to open it before it is all white white.

Funky (mold) stuff usually looks super white comparing normal mycelium so it is easy to spot it at once

Tip for future, maybe try to level the substrate as good as u can without pressing it too much next time

it does not look contaminated. The white is very white not grey so that's fine.

What about the smell ?

It smells like it should, and the white is indeed very bright. Let's see, I used Unbuckettek 3.0 with really hot tap water and so it all depends somehow on the quality of the coir.

I'll keep it closed until the fruiting phase, which I will induce as soon as the surface is all white.

Looks good! cant see the foamy spots though? if it smells good then keep it going. i would suggest using a liner next time though just a non scented garbage bag cut to size to prevent side pinning. also could just be the picture but you want to try and keep the sub as even as possible without high spots.
keep up the good work!

Ya dude I think it looks fine, I'm super paranoid about my tubs too...

Looks like a lot of exposed grain though, I covered mine with coir just to be safe,  figured it cant hurt..
