Musty Tent,
    #26352259 - 11/29/19 03:21 PM (4 years, 2 months ago)

Major donut here (that isn’t my rank, just a classification)

I’ve build a fruiting chamber under the stairs. There is a smell coming from it... it doesn’t really stink, my Mrs describes it as being a bit meaty...

I think it is the smell of the growing....

Would it be excess CO2

How frequent should one clean the tent, every week?
With what?
Do I put bleach, peroxide or white in the humidifier?


FFS?!?

I like such a numbnut.

I'd just clean the thing with bleach or some kind of degreaser every once in awhile.  I think vinegar is recomended for humidifiers.

Edit - Also, hopefully your spawn is not contaminated.  A tub can have a musty smell if something is wrong with it

Smelled the jars.... and one smells the others don’t. Looking at the jar it has the least amount of growth, the others are doing ok. I think the WBS jars were too wet, the stinky one may have been the wetter, hence the smell and sleet growth.
Will check them again in a bit, after giving my nose a break

Cheers geez

You ought to post pics. Did you start with agar? Did you vent your PC properly?

I don’t think spawn jars should smell unless you’re holding them right under your nose. Now once you open a colonized one the whole room smells like fungus.

I soaked then boiled the WBS. Then I chopped them up in a food processor to create a similar consistency to verm and rice flour, some seeds were mostly broken-whole, halved a third mush. Then I put them in a jar like PFTEK using spores. I think I over did it using both Tyvek and foil, that may have made it difficult for moisture release and FAE.

What do you mean by venting the pressure cooker? (Hopefully that isn’t a dumb enquiry)

I think they smell a little bit like cross between moss and a little bit of puke (mmmmnnnn 😋 yummy 🤢).

I think I’m gonna remove the tyvek (which also have holes), and leave it with the verm layer only, to air a bit outside (cold at the moment in the UK, so growth will stall). Then I’ll perform another olfactory assessment.

The rice verm jars don’t smell at all, they smell like store bought mushrooms.

Venting means to wait until there’s been a cone of steam shooting out of the pc for I think 5-10 minutes before engaging the weight.

Looks like you have prepared them too wet.

Do you think airing them out would help

'Tis said that we want them wet on the inside, "dry" on the outside.
Not completely dry, perhaps.

It can be as simple as wiping them over with some tissue paper after straining, and check if water pools at the bottom of the jar or the container,
before the PC. Then they are too wet.

Wiping a bit with paper visibly helped the look of the moisture in my jars
and reduced pooling. And since you do it before PC, it has no impact
on contamination afaik

You should remove the foil after pc or it keeps the dry verm not dry leading to contams

When inoculating, don’t you use a glove box?
