New to Cultivation - First time Tub - Guidance / Thoughts / Opinions?
    #26712740 - 06/01/20 10:54 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hi all,

I've done a lot of reading and research. Mostly lately though I've just been "feeling my way" through the web of cultivation.

These are the first tubs I've tried my hand at. They are about 70 quarts and quite large. Probably overboard for my first tub attempt.

I went with bod's simple tub tek even though these are technically different tubs and only have two air gaps as they only have 2 handles.

Each tub has aprox 10 quarts of inoculated Rye Berries and 10 quarts of Bod's bucket tek Coir only.

There is approximately 4 to 41/2 Inches of substrate/spawn in the bottom of the tub.

I didn't leave the tops sealed and followed the immediate set up for air flow etc.

It was an exceptionally hot few days a couple of days ago and during that time I misted a lot.

I mixed the tubs on 5/16.

I think next time I will leave the top on and not mess with it until it's much further along and colonized.

Please feel free to let me know if this is contaminated/dry/whatever else I've done wrong as I'm looking for feedback and to learn.

Thanks

Here are a few pictures:

I hate to tell ya, but I think those are toast.. it’s hard to tell from the pics don’t let you zoom in sharp, but if that really white spots are myc, then the rest of it is mold.  Can you take closer/clearer pics?

I mostly don’t want to have to tell you bad news lol but I’m 95% sure that’s mold.. especially that 3rd tub.. second pic I’m on the fence about

This is what a fully colonized tub looks like with all the sameish color myc

Yeah I’m with fahtster, sorry to say but I think those are trash. Also 10 quarts of spawn is a bit much for that size tub, try 4-6 qts next time. It only take one bad jar to fuck up the whole tub so you may want to look into shoe boxes.
