Why are these grains turning blue? Been struggling to get proper surface moisture with this one
    #26470478 - 02/05/20 03:12 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

This monotub has lots of side pins but none on top! It was spawned 15 days ago , it either looks too wet or too dry and no pins seem to be happening, only on the sides. Is this contaminated or bruised?

Looks contaminated to me, if that's your only tub, let those pins grow out, clone the largest of your pins and toss that tub. If you have more tubs i'd toss it now to avoid causing cross contamination of your growing area.

Dang,  throwing away now! I have two other tubs right near it , they already have pin decent size pins I hope they aren't contaminated.Also, after I dump substrate out whats the best way to clean the tub for reuse later down the road?

What do you think about the other two tubs feldman, do they look contaminated?

Naw they look fine. Maybe a bit oversaturated, but no mold.

If I’m being honest, I need better resolution pics/close-ups to be sure.

Okay here's some more pictures, first 2 one tub and the last 2 are another tub. Should I increase FAE , by lifting the lid more?

This bit gives me pause, but I’m guessing it’s the lighting.



They subs look healthy overall though. Just make sure there’s tiny water droplets on the surface of the myc. If not, mist. Rinse, repeat.:wink:

On the last two images to the right I have verm mixed in with coir and its kind of hard to tell if it needs misting or not, I dont see any droplets but it looks slightly damp.Does this mean I should mist until I see droplets on top of that? The other tub there are visibly droplets on the mycellium.

You should only mist if there are no droplets.

The exception would be if you’re misting to rehydrate between flushes instead of dunking.

Over-misting is probably the most common newbie mistake.

Do these darken areas compared to the rest of the tub mean it doesn't need misting in that area?
