Monotub not colonizing i think? I’m not too sure please help!!
    #26394086 - 12/21/19 02:09 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

I originally started with a 5 lb all in one grow bag that was 2lb of rye grain and 3lb of substrate, I inoculated it with 3cc of GT and after about 2 months 90% of the bag was colonized but I decided I should probably try to fruit in a monotub so I broke apart all the substrate and the grain and mixed it all into the tub. After 8 days I saw that a lot of the substrate on top was white but I didn’t see any pins except for 1 on the side, so I looked up ways to help substrate pin and one way said was to introduce it to light so I figured I should put it in the middle of my room to get some light but not too much. After doing this I saw another post that said colonizing substrate shouldn’t be any light source so the next day I put it back in my closet. It’s day 12 now and I don’t think I’ve really seen that much if any of change. Did I screw it up?? Any help would be appreciated!!  Ps: the first day I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to mist and fan but I only did that on day one.

8-12 days would be on the early side for pins. 10-16 seems to be the window usually.

you didn't screw it up.

culture looks a little sluggish but otherwise ok.

give it light, keep the surface moist and make sure it's getting some fresh air turnover.

you should have pins in the next week.

What is your tub set up? Unmodified or the six hole mono with polyfill/micro pore tape?

It’s a 6 hole montub with the holes taped up right now until I see some pins then I’m gonna put coco coir and fill the holes with polyfil.

It looks fully colonized to me. I would stuff the holes now. You can stuff them tight now until you see pins then give it more air by loosening. But you don’t want to put casing over pins, people usually case at full colonization or not at all. I have a couple times it really only seemed to help with PE for me.
