5 days since I’ve added the spawn to coir and verm mix. I added more water to this substrate, about 5 quarts compared to 4 for the others, and this is by far the most progressed. So is field capacity just a recommendation? This was a light squeeze a few drops come out. A hard squeeze and it’s a mini stream. This was the only one I did this for just to experiment compared to my others where a hard squeeze would be a few drops.

Also I noticed that it seems like they’re reaching for the air. Is this common? The sides of the Monotub are all duct taped and no lids have been opened since spawning. Thanks for any help as always.

That is looking perfect. I would not mess with it. That looks like just some beautiful rhizo action to me. My prefered method if you do poly is a tight stuff durring col and loosen up at fruit. But you current mode looks pretty set. Thats great for day 5.

Thank you! I’m debating if I wanna do micropore. Still reading up on it, but the fact that it’s so simple is pretty appealing as opposed to pc’ing the poly trying to find the right amount to stuff it for my room, etc.

I like the 3" 3M Micropore 1530-3 tape over my 2" cut holes.
It really is just set it and forget it.

Truth about monos is there really is no one way. I do believe they're are certain things you can do for a set and forget feature or you can set it up to take care of it. Im og I like casings, fanning and misting, checking the smell. I used to think it was like inncoulation protocol, everything followed to A T, found out quickly mono tubs offer the best buffer zones for beginners to bulk.

I was lied to about the shelving. The box said 48 inches it’s only 47. Plus I didn’t factor in the bars taking up almost an inch on each side. I was hoping to get lucky and do 3 tubs per shelf, but it didn’t work out unfortunately. Gonna return it for some metal shelving I can just screw in. Also some pictures of two agar plates after 2 transfers.

Also I’m encountering a contam issue. I’m getting blue mold on my oats. I’ve been tweaking the Boiling and drying process. I started pressure cooking for 2 1/2 hours at 15 psi since noticing this happen again. I also put a clean agar plate in front of my flow hood to see if it’s an issue on that end. Haven’t noticed anything but it’s only been day 2 since testing it.

Also have a PE that’s about 30% colonized but it’s displaying a lot of aerial growth. At what point should I case it? 100%? Also does the aerial growth mean it needs more FAE? From what I read you should leave the lid shut for at least ten days. Thanks for any help.

Did you put a really thick top layer?

For nine days it’s not very colonized.


Hard to see but the myc looks healthy though.

Yeah. Since I threw two bricks to hydrate with some verm I didn’t know the exact amount I’d have for each. So I mixed in 8 quart jars of coir/verm with 7 quarts of spawn. Then threw 4 more quart jars full of coir on top to cover the spawn.

Is it necessary to even add that pseudo casing layer? I’m still in the trial and error stage so I’m just tweaking certain things to see what they respond well to.

It’s not necessary but it can help a lot. I have super low humidity and it solved a ton of problems for me when I was learning.

Usually top layers are 1/4-1 inch thick. Thicker won’t hurt it’ll just take an extra couple days to colonize.

Most people fruit at spawn.

I’d start now if you haven’t.

The ten day thing is outdated in most cases.

Threw 5 into fruiting today. Can I get some help identifying if the one JMF is contaminated? I boxed it on the pics. Also have a penis envy that’s 100% colonized but I have to make some coir to case. I’m running a side by side comparison of cased vs uncased Envy’s. I temporarily stuffed with polyfill. Getting my micropore tape on Tuesday. As always, much thanks

Coir isn’t a great casing for PE.

Jiffy mix is best but if you can’t get it I’d make a coir verm mix heavy on the verm.

That one with the contam box does look iffy but Im more concerned about the dark spot in the center.

Most of the rest look great though, hopefully that PE does well.

All my biggest yields have been PE. Worth the wait for the yield and potency.
