First Grow Contamination?
    #26458923 - 01/29/20 06:39 PM (4 years, 4 hours ago)

Hey everybody

This is my first monotub grow (using Bod's unmodified TEK).
Golden Teacher rye grain spawn 4:1 coir mixed on Jan 20th.
Looks blotchy with potential cobweb mold.

Any thoughts?





Sorry about quality of photos.

Follow up:

I searched around the site and compared my grow to others and figured all was normal, however I have let the substrate go a bit dry.:rolleyes:

This Proper Surface Moisture post really helped: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23999053 :thumbup:

I've been misting more often and figured if there's no improvement, I might dunk the substrate for an hour. Apparently some growers do this before first flush, so I guess it could help reset the proper moisture content.


Follow up 2:

Holy shit balls!! We have pinning! Obviously the misting helped.

Looks a little bacterial.

The mycelium is doing something funny around the maroon (due to pic quality probably) looking patches. Good that you’re still getting pinning but keep your eye out.

Yep, there was contamination! Trichoderma, most likely from the spore syringe to grain process. Now I understand why starting on agar is so important!

I'm going to move the tub elsewhere and see if I can get another flush. At least there are some potential fruits...
