No I didn't. There was a bug that was making it's way over to my tubs and landed on a lower rack I killed after spawning. Havent seen any since. They came from an old tub in the closet that must've had a few eggs in there took it outside and cleaned it. I cleaned out the tubs a month and a half prior to spawning. There were quite a few flyin. It's the only one I've seen since then. Seemed odd to me that it had been so long. Peppermint oil will be used in the summer for sure
Even the tubs smell like peppermint oil, it's great

I truly appreciate the update photos and the effort involved, but those are some horrible, awful, terrible photographs.

Curiosity…. How much peppermint oil did you add to your sub and casing?

I went to add a couple drops to the casing layer and ended up with more of a chug something like a teaspoon? I used this coir to case the first two tubs. Every batch I've mixed since has been scented with it. It is very strong in #1 and #2. About the same for the rest. I added about 3 drops to the bottle I misted with. I shook it around and then dumped it out. Refilled. And used that water to mist. Im probably gonna do this in the summer to ward off any potential for pests
Edit none in sub mix

Tub 1: Day 29

Tub 2: Day 27

Tub 3: Day 26

Tub 4: Day 25

Tub 5: Day 24

Tub 6: Day 23

The first two tubs, which have the direct mix with the peppermint oil, seem to be doing great! Could just be that I used my better jars for the first tubs and use the lesser quality picks as I went along. I can bring my spawn pics for every tub used to this thread sometime and update. For now they can be found in seperate threads, apologies.
I do have a slight concern but not a huge one. I'm assuming too much misting. I've noticed stripes or veins. Did a few searches. Opinions? Another one is they're some odd deformities in tub 4. Probably just genetics?

There seems to be no issue whatsoever with this peppermint oil. Misting and casing is a go. Hope ya like

Not too shabby! Hard to tell if that one will abort or not.. you’ll find out in a day or two either way.. won’t hurt to just let it do it’s thing

*Nemo Plays* [Star fish on the tank wall scene] "TODAYS THE DAYYY" Tubs one and two made quite the advancement over the last 24 hrs to say the least Will add the other tubs later

Was there just a better climate towards the edge of Tub 1? Why are the fruits towards the center behind the rest? Assuming I was way above field capacity looking how wet those mushies in T1 are. Took the second layer of mp tape off all my tubs.
