Monotubs Stalled?
    #26678687 - 05/18/20 10:35 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

I made several tubs (4 shoebox and 1 larger tub) using colonized grain jars. I've G2G'd some of the initial jars and they are colonizing pretty fast, but the grains i spawned to CVG are kinda stuck. I dont see any trich or anything. I spawned these tubs are about a week or so ago, and i have had them all in a trash bag just waiting for it to colonize before flipping the lids to fruit. Any tips on what I am doing wrong or can do to help? I feel like I have finally figured out 90% of this and im still stuck at the last step (for tubs at least)

I followed Eat's Boil and Rest prep for my oats
I colonized the oats with a known good Liquid Culture
I did a bucket tek where I boiled water, poured into onto the CVG.
Stirred after 30-45 min, then waited ~4 hours to dump into tubs
Added grain, then put lid on loosely, stored in trashbag

This is what all the tubs look like:

It might not be stalled,looks a lil moist... if you have casing material slap a layer on now. Don't over saturate and let it ride it could help.
Edit: wondering if you got proper gas exchange happening. Theres so many mixed answers on how a tub should be colonized todays stanard seems to be most people just run fruiting co digions across the board with tubs meaning fae from the rip, light ect... how i colonoze is a super tight stuff on poly with at least 2" min holes upper and lower and around. Og monos...stuffem tight durrin col, lossen up imo when you ready to fruit. And Casing layers save my grows.

So just sprinkle a thin layer of vermiculite on top of these to cover up the tufts of mycelium?

If all you have is verm, yes you can moisten some verm with some boiling or hot water and let it cool and use it if you need a reservoir but, alot of people would use coir too. Im og. I want real casing shit. I do peat moss and verm ph adjusted.
The orgional.casing teks and materials stand true. You can use this pseudo layer top coat thi g they talk of which is just a small layer of coir layed on right now, truth is you can use any mixture, but peatmoss and verm with correct ph, is the best possible layer for fending off overlay

You don’t want them stored in a trash bag since they like a little light and air at all stages of growth. They look decent to me but setting them in ambient light with a small crack in a lid will get them happier

Yeah never heard of keeping them in a bag.

They look ok for a week.

Well, I took them out of the trash bag, and within 2 days, all my tubs started showing trich. I’m giving up for a few weeks, I’m tired of this shit

Don’t be discouraged. Though the summer can be rough depending on your conditions.

LC is risky stuff man. That trich was in those tubs from the start and was succubusing your myc and slowing it down. If you do take a break or whenever you start a new grow I would take it slow. Spores to agar, 2-3 transfers to several plates, then use like half agar pucks for each jar to get some quicker qts to make shoe boxes and I’d make a grain master somewhere in there once you’re really sure it’s clean.

LC and LI are really nice when they work, but when they fail it’s total.
