looks good so far...2 qts spawn kinda a low spawn ratio unless you got some super aggressive myc. Might take a little bit longer to colonize/pin with only 2 qts spawn

Seems a little light on the spawn (2 quarts of spawn in a 50 quart tub and a brick of coir [I assume 650g?])... But looks good to me other than that.

Looks great! keep it up. I would leave it in a dark room for a few more days. I like to keep it in for a day or two after complete colonization just to be sure the mycelium has time to colonize and digest some nutrients before going to fruiting.

No it should be in light.
2 qt to a brick of coir is a lot like others said, you know about shoeboxes ?
Looks like its colonizing though.
Cant wait to see what 2qt in a big tun with a brick of coir does

Awesome, next tub I will up to 3qt's spawn I think. Potentially a 4th or 5th later on if I find colonization time is suffering.
In no rush at this moment, as long as I can keep conditions optimal and the tub looking healthy I'm happy for now.
Thanks for the input all!

With less spawn and longer colonization time you are at greater risk for contam i feel like
If you want to use less spawn i would use shoeboxes and less sub.
Why use more sub...? Its not really doing anything beneficial for you

Very true about low spawn ratios juxtapose more spawn does also = more contam risk in the sense of multiple quarts having to be clean.
I just got excited and decided to mix two of my best looking quarts with a brick(not thinking). Next tub I will definitely be practicing a more substantial spawn ratio.
Tub still looks healthy, just slow.
Thank you again!

Once you spawn thats it, dont go back and add more spawn.

Day 12 Colonization
Hyphal knotting is apparent with a half dozen primordia showing.
Pictures arent the best.

I too spawned a tub about that big with 5 half pint jars At first, the top looked about as colonized as your pics do....But once I put it into fruiting, all of the white mycelium on top disappeared and the whole top became brown again. So I thought it was done for. But then suddenly I spotted one single side pin. A few days later, a few more pins popped up. Now...I am 20 days in I think, and I've got 9 mushrooms growing that are turning into pretty good sized ones.
I didn't have any more spawn than that at the time to use. So I took my chances. I think what happened is the tub got contaminated because there wasn't enough spawn and it didn't colonize fast enough, and now just a few mushrooms happen to be growing in the areas without contam maybe? I've got some other tubs that are spawned with a full 5 quarts each. So I'm excited to see what happens with those.
Little side pin:
And this is what he looks like just 3 days later.

Update: Pinset is what to be expected from low spawn ratio Growing slow still, hoping for the pins to explode in the next couple days however!

That's a really decent amount of pinset for the amount of spawn used. Have you been misting and fanning or is it still untouched?

Thanks ouuwee!
