Dealing with a potentially waterlogged growkit
    #26797017 - 07/01/20 01:29 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dear shroom breeders,

I'm about to grow my first shrooms using an ordinary growkit with prepared growbox and growbag. I followed the supplied instructions and filled the growbag with a pint of water and then put the growbox inside the bag. My question: how serious will the consequences be when some of the water from the bag accidentally sloshes upwards into the box? Will this cause the formations of mould etc?

Thanks in advance

Most growkit instructions are utterly moronic, carefully crafted nonsense. Putting a pint of water into a grow bag is a pretty good example of this. You should post a pic of the kit so we can see what you’re working with and how bad it looks. Grow kits are notorious for becoming mold farms.

okay here's my setup. You see the big growbag, with the pint at water at the bottom. In this puddle the growbox  is placed, containing the substrate with the mycelium etc. I can see no water running inside the box, but it's hard to tell for the box is not very limpid.



The green haze visible at the right edge of the box is no green mould, it's just an optical reflection of the book  :smile:

So your advice would have been to omit the water bath? In fact, I can see some white flakes on the top of the vermiculite surface, resembling white mould seen on rotten cheese for instance. I did not worry about it, since I read that shroom cultures are mainly affected by green, blue or black moulds.
