Concerned with gray spawn in first shoebox
    #26728931 - 06/08/20 01:12 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hello I just made up my first 3 shoeboxes two days ago. It’s whole oats in a 100 percent coir substrate. I’m concerned with a few gray pieces. I was concerned seeing some small gray spots during jar colonization but the seemed to whiten up as it grew, like the gray was just thin mycelium that wasn’t thick enough to be really white. Since I’m new I though I would take a pic just to see what you folks thought. Thanks for any info.

Looks good to me,
I prefer to make sure all the grains are covered, that's the only thing I don't like here. :lol:

Close it and walk away for a week... theres nothing to see here, move along!

Lol, but seriously, patience is key, and so is chill... you give off nervous helicopter mom vibes, itll tank... if you're spawn was clean, and it was field capacity,  itll fruit: if its south, no amount of worry will change it at this point... highly suggest staging projects 4-7 days apart until you have a handle on what you're looking for, and a few examples of what you're not looking for (it happens) these look fine for recovering grain, day 2 maybe? Theyd likely fair better with a thin top layer of coir only at spawn, just to protect the exposed grains... some varieties will perform no differently either way

Keep in mind that spores will usually take a few days to germinate, and a few more still to grow to a visible colony... you've not gone far enough to see contamination yet, unless it was already present in the spawn, in which case should have been recognized in the jars and never spawned... breathe, trust, except failure as a given and success as a bonus
:thumbsup:
