Stressed and Possibly contaminated? (Pics)
    #26531403 - 03/12/20 04:57 PM (3 years, 10 months ago)

My first time growing. I started with one monotub to test myself before I went all out. I have a lot of spawn bags currently at about 25-50% colonization for the next round though, so I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong before I start doing multiple tubs...

My concern.. Not great colonization. Some areas are slightly yellow (looks stressed or dying). Now some very light grayish, cloudy areas are appearing. Ill put pictures below. It seemed really dry. Considering dunking before continuing to wait to let it pin its first go around. They're already in fruiting, but 4 days or so in, and not really any change pin wise.

Full Pic

Zoomed in areas of concern.



Spawn
I used 2 lbs of spawn. Injected 5cc's of Bulmas strain into two 1 pound bags of rye berry bags off amazon. Had great results. Fast and strong full colonization. Ran it about 79 degrees in a high humidity, closed box thats inside of a plastic off'ed closest.

Bulk Substrate
Typical 50/50 Damien coco coir/verm mix. Cased the top about a half inch or so. Only used 2lbs of spawn though. Boiled the water. Left it in the bucket for maybe 2 hours or so. Colonization was slow. 14 days in and finally just fruited them because I needed my dark room my next much larger amount of spawn bags. Used the suggested amount of water. I don't think I got to full "field capacity" though, because of the much quicker growth around the edges of the monotub.

Fruiting conditions
Typical monotub with polyfill filters. Mist and Fan at least twice daily. Inside of a sealed grow tent at about 75 degrees and 70+ humidity at all times. 12/12 light cycle at 6500k blue lights. Using both led light tape strips directly above each shelf and an overhead regular ole tube light as well. Its a huge tent. Plenty off fresh air.

Stuff I'm already going to improve on
  • Over saturate bulk substrate and strain after pasteurization.
  • Up spawn ratio. Same bulk substrate, but 3lbs per tub.
  • Going to put some fresh race horse poo in my bulk substrate.
  • Adding complete ventilation system to entire fruiting tent. Highest quality air filters and everything, of course. High positive inside pressure to keep the nasty outside air out.


Anything else why I'm already over doing it as much as I can?
