Side pinning?
    #26505941 - 02/27/20 06:38 AM (3 years, 11 months ago)

Hi,
This is my first grow, I have yet to see mushrooms. This is one of my shoeboxes in fruiting, and I've noticed that little white specks have started appearing on the side of the container. Could this be a principle of side pinning? If so, what do I do? I followed a tek that didn't use a liner and it still didn't get side pins, did I do something wrong? Maybe I should compress the grains a bit more when I spawn them?

Looks like knots a precursor of pins.

Your tub looks really good. I usually check the sides for knots for some reason it’s easier to see them when you’re not sure if they’re forming.

Your surface looks good so I wouldn’t worry about side pins, a few is normal.

The liner makes it easier to take out to harvest and definitely can help once the sub shrinks after the first flush.

Things have gotten worse, there are little to no pins on top and the sides are pinning like crazy. What should I do?

Looks like you need way more air flow

Ok this is the current state of my shoebox that is most ahead:

What should I do? I was thinking of waiting to harvest until all the pins on top have grown out. For the second flush (if it doesn't get contaminated) what should I do to prevent this amount of side pins from happening again? Should I just flip the sub into a monotub?

You could use a liner, but it is a bit of a crutch. You will not have a problem with side pins if you provide optimal surface conditions. I recommend reading through this write-up:

I still use a liner, since the substrate is easier to take out of the tub when harvesting and it makes the cleanup easier.
