Contaminated?
    #26353828 - 11/30/19 12:56 PM (4 years, 2 months ago)

Here’s a pic of my monotub ~4 days after mixing rye berry spawn with CVG from a bucket tek. Is it toast? I’m seeing slightly yellow color across the top in places. If so, only thing I can figure is that it is contamos falling from the condensation drops off lid? Could it just be slightly off color myc?

Not familiar with WBS spawn, but that looks okay.

Edit: You are using grain. duh. That looks fine.

Some myc metabolites are a yellowish color, so I wouldn't start worrying too much yet.

Before you start...Do you have a Pressure Cooker and a Dehydrator? I highly recommend getting both!

Here’s an updated pic from today that’s about 10 days post mixing. Still look OK? I did notice today that there are a couple of places where water seems to be pooling on top of the substrate. I also have about 1/2 to 3/4 inch of water that I can see in the corners. Should I be concerned? Maybe dump it out?

Yeah it’s all new to me. I mean it looks/smells ok. It’s just really wet. Maybe it’s supposed to be? I know my coir was what I’d call field capacity from the videos I watched because it was difficult to get drops out of it when squeezing prior to mixing. Even though I’m following a tek, I guess it’s all an experiment because my only experience so far has been a single brf cake grow. But that turned out ok  :shrug:

If it's really wet I would open up the air a bit...let some evaporation take place. Surface looks a bit matted like it's been super wet

So I am now 12 days post mixing. I opened up the air a bit and the top of the substrate dried out as well as the sides and top of the tub. The top of the substrate is dry to the touch now. Should I begin misting sides and top of substrate? Where to go from here?

Yep! Give the top a little misting to restore moisture. This cycle of evaporation and rehydration will promote pinning.

So I am now basically 2 weeks post mixing and I see nothing resembling knots or pins. Should I consider doing a casing layer or something? My only grow has been a brf cake tek, but I was thinking casing would have a similar effect as a dunk and roll?

Be patient, your sub is pretty matted atm...you gotta get those surface conditions right first. In the mean time look this over
