Should I switch to Shoe Box Tek? Help identifying if blob is trich or bruised. HQ Photos included
    #26609458 - 04/18/20 02:24 AM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Hello,

Long time lurker and first time poster.

I originally went with Broke Boy Tek and Uncle Ben Tek. Out of 10 jars and 15 bags only 3 bags survived. I wanted to go with BOD's Easy AF UnBODified Monotub TEK but only had about 3 bags. So I decided to put the spawn into a shoe box tub along with a 1:3 spawn to pasteurized coco coir mix. Then I set the shoe box into the Sterilite tub and flipped the lid. I am not sure if the volume is low or my closet is dry with a constant temp of 75 degrees but the surface is dry often and I have to mist above the tub 3 times a day. I think I might have to go with the Shoe Box Tek and put a bag over the small tub. What do you guys think? Also I have a few clumps that are either contaminated or bruising could you guys help me identify it?

Thanks alot!

It’s just bruising.. probably from being dried out and misted constantly.  You should just put the lid on the shoebox until it needs to be removed because the fruits are running out of room.. then put it inside a grocery bag.  As is, you’re basically open air fruiting it.  Which can be done but requiemres a lot of babysitting

It’s time to fruit.  Take it out if the big bin, put the lid on the shoebox.. if it’s just a normal thin plastic lid, the gap between the lid and container should be enough FAE.. if it has some kind of gasket, then I’d put on loose.  Once the fruits are growing all the way up to that lid, (this next part is optional—you can just leave the shoebox lid on... the fruits will bend over once they reach the lid) take the
Lid off and put a grocery bag over the tub so the fruits have room to grow (with some holes in the bag for FAE). Or you can use another shoebox flipped upside down and place on top of the fruiting shoebox and act as a double tub.

So, yes to answer your ?  Switch to shoebox tek.  If you were doing 3 shoeboxes at the same time, I’d use that larger tub to fruit all 3 in.. its just too big for 1.. your 1 shoebox isn’t enough to support the moisture needed to maintain the environment needed to properly fruit just 1 sb.
