Major side pinning. Unmodified tub. (PICS)
#26377547 - 12/12/19 03:44 PM (4 years, 2 months ago) |

Hello, I'm doing an unmodified tub and I'm getting ALOT of side pinning. I was just wondering your tips for getting this to start fruiting on top? I probably let the top dry out a bit with too much air flow? I only have it open a crack now. The top doesn't have that glistening look I see on other tubs either so not sure if I should mist the top or not.(i have been abit) The micro environment on the side just seems too good for them from spraying the sides down.
Here are some pics and happy to awnser any questions.

Thanks shroomery

Because the top looks really dry as you said. So the humid spot is between the cake and the tub, so thats where they will fruit. Give it a good misting and reduce air flow for the next flush.

Ok Thanks I will. When you say for the next flush. Should I pick these side pins and dunk the cake? Or just pick and good mist?
Ill mist the whole thing and reduce air flow.
I'm a bit confused as to when I know this flush is done. Will it just be a side flush you think?
Thanks again and appreciate the quick reply to the thread! 
Edit: also it's ok the mist the cake directly? And should I start picking the side pins now so they have more room?

I also have heaps of pins underneath the tub. Over a hundred on the side and underneath:(
What would you do in this situation?

Leave it be. Harvest when mature. Learn for next time.

Ok will do. I'll take it as a learning process.
I might use a liner next time so I can pull the dam thing out if needed. I feel a bit stuck with it at the moment.

Liners are nice, but I don't use em. I just tamp my sub down a bit. I'm on the fence about liners since it's a lot of plastic waste and I don't have side pin problems.

Yeah I would prefer not to either and will try again without, but being stuck in this predicament with nothing to do but wait.. and seeing all my mushrooms get squished sucks.
Will defy tamp the sides down better next time! I thought I did but I let it dry out and it moved from the walls too much.
Do you dunk your tubs after first flush?
More pics of side pinning. Looks like it won't be an even flush so I'll be picking as I go. Not sure how I'll pick them, probably with chopsticks or something.
I'm still happy I'm growing and learning though

I tried liners and they did almost no good in preventing sub surface dongers. Possible i didnt use them correctly. Now i jst let that shit pin crazy and flip the sub or something to harvest.
Yeah i pour enough tepid tap water down the sides to float the sub for about 24hrs. Remember for nxt time, Do not water before the first flush! It'll fuck everything up.

What do you mean flip the sub? Is that flip as in put in fruiting conditions? Thanks for your help
Edit. I left mine in darkness for 7 to 8 days and already gave it too much airflow so by the time I pulled it out into 12 on off it started pinning along the sides immediately. I was spraying sides and fanning not realizing I was making it worse.

Nah i mean like carefully turn it over. You can lean the tub on its side and lay the sub down (after harvesting the suface fruits) to get at sub level dongers. Or you can put the same size tub inside it and flip the tubs together and take the top off to reveal the sub resting freely on the bottom of the other tub.

Haha Ok yeah makes sence!! I was scared to break the sub. Not sure how strong they are as it's my first run but good to hear! I'll do that after my first flush of sideys and the few on top 
Great explanation too really needed to hear that, thanks gypsy 
I'll be updating with my progress on this thread with pics as I do. Hopefully a few turn into some nice dongers

I had the same thing in a shoebox from making the sub too dry initially.
I just took the whole brick of coir out and fruited it like a cake. If you break the sub while harvesting or whatever it’s not a big deal just put it back together and act like it never happened, it won’t cause any problems.

Good I idea. This thought did cross my mind. Glad to hear it worked for you. Hmmm i have decisions to make! How did you rehydrate your sub? Or did you just let fruit? thank-you

I just soaked it with the mister but i think if you make it too dry in the beginning it’ll never really be as good as it should be no matter what you do.
Even dunking after I harvested it didn’t seem to help.

Awesome good to know Thanks. I'm going to pick a few big ones and move it to a bigger tub with a few inches either side so the others can grow and take it from there. So i can still get a good flush from these side pins, they keep popping up, so fuck it. I'll do it and post pictures in a few hours.
I'll dial in humididuty in the new tub so should be good.

Ok so did the transfer and I'm happy I did. I also flipped it completely as the bottom was pinning really well! Picked a few so it was easy to flip. Hopefully the humidty stays well and I can get a nice flush.

I also would of waited before picking but needed to get those out before the flip.
Edit: those mushies came in at 15grams after dehydrating.
