Day 5 Smells getting stronger
    #26671840 - 05/15/20 02:39 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hi all,

I am on day 5 of my monotub. The sub is vermiculite and compost. It appears to be colonising rapidly and is brilliantly white! Hmm..

When I open the tub to fan and mist the initial pong that comes out the tub is like a cheesy whiff. It does die down quickly and then its quite hard to smell anything but when its strong it is strong!

I read that smells are bad and we shouldn't have them when growing.

Can anyone advise? Ive attached some images to show the health

+1 it should smell like you are standing in the middle of the mushroom aisle at the grocery store. the nose knows. put that tub elsewhere! if you can smell it its already in the air.

A lot of times smells like that can be caused by anaerobic bacteria. Anaerobic bacteria can occur is the substrate is too compact and/or if the moisture content is too high. Yours looks like it's probably too wet. Anaerobic bacteria don't always kill a grow. If you provide enough fresh air and continue to see the myc grow, you should be alright. Once everything is fully colonized (if you can get to that point), the smell should disappear.

There’s some bacteria growing in there. Some subs will still fruit, some even do great but this one is looking a little funky. Those heavy strips of myc don’t look promising. I’d let it roll a while to see what comes of it but keep an eye out for mold jumping in

Thanks so much for these responses, I was really hoping this time we could work out.

The smell is consistent, bit funky, but goes away after a few minutes of the lid being off for misting and fanning.

I chopped out a tiny bit of blue I saw yesterday, it was the size of half a pea. It still seems to be progressing but I am losing hope as the smell continues.

My substrate is made up of vermiculite and multi-purpose compost from local garden centre. I did pasteurise the lot as directed.
