HELP. Shoeboxes bruising blue may be matted
#26359010 - 12/03/19 12:23 PM (4 years, 2 months ago) |

I have four shoeboxes all brf to bulk. Did a 1:1.5 ratio all to cvg. They started to bruise and I have been reading for the past two days going crazy trying to fix it. I beleive it's from the sub drying out. Theres seems to be some knotting starting but I dont want it to not pin. Can anyone help me out and point in the right direction. I didnt put a casing layer probably should have but I've been keeping wax paper over them the past 2 days. Hopefully they're salvagable 
Came home to this 12/6
 Some pins and what I believe are a decent amount of knots. Am I correct? And any advice on what to next to prevent further bruising and hopefully get them to pin

It does indeed look very dry from the pictures. I would mist and/or bottom water it as needed. Did you bring your coir to field capacity before mixing with spawn?

I have been misting three times a day. I used a bucket tek for the coir and from what I've read it was at field capacity. I squeezed and just a few drops came out. I mean I had to squeeze pretty hard so it was probably a little dry

It was made too dry. My first one I made too wet and my second two I made too dry and looked identical to this. I got a TON of side pins from both then one triched out and the second one just never really seemed healthy and put out a couple more pins.
For some reason it’s hard to recover from too dry sub.
I would try pouring a cup of water in and letting it soak for an hour but I’m not sure if that would cause damage.

I'm about to bottom water right now. all of them definitely dried out and shrunk but 2 out of 3 have a lot of knotting but they're not pinning. hopefully i can bring it back atleast a little with the bottom water. I have a liner on all of them should i try and just pull the sub away as much as I can just to access the bottom? Also how much water would you suggest?

I don’t have much experience with it but I’d pour like a cup in and let it sit for two or three hours then pour out whatever’s not absorbed.

I was just about to make a post about bruised sub. Mines way worse, almost completely blue now. I just kinda figured it was part of the growth cycle. It's only happened the last 4 days and the pins first appeared about 2 weeks ago...
So does a bruised sub always mean its too dry?

Pretty sure too wet will also do it.

Fuck... then I have no idea which one it could be from...I'm leaning towars too dry because once I mist it, those little water beads dry up in 5ish hrs...so I think my FAE might be a bit high...

Ditch the wax paper. When did you start mistings? Does it feel like it has some weight to it?

Mine is bluing also, but still fruiting. I'm waiting for them to mature so I can dunk my tub. Dunking should rehydrate it, so it didn't work for you?

Why ditch the wax paper? And I started misting right when I was put them into fruiting conditions. They have a little weight but definitely shrunk. I bottom watered yesterday about 15 ML each and 2 got a 2 more pins each and all produced more knots.

So many problems occur due to not casing at spawning and immediately exposing to fruiting conditions.

This. Use a coir top layer and introduce FAE immediately and you will be fine. Your sub is most likely bruising due to bacterial contamination, clean subs don’t bruise unless you really mistreat them

When did you start misting? Over misting early causes matting. Looks like you had some fruits developing in pic 2.

Much misinformation this thread. Not casing and introducing fruiting early causes problems? Many of us grow tubs packed with fruits doing this very thing every day. Not saying I know op's problem but it's not either of those things. Also ditch the wax paper, also a proven unnecessary weird thing.

I suspect it was misted to death.
