Pinset mostly aborts?
    #26806717 - 07/06/20 11:06 AM (3 years, 7 months ago)

So I've had issues with aborts ever since I started growing again. I've had decent pinsets that have maybe 50%+ just abort while still tiny pins. The tubs themselves still put out ~4oz dry per flush which isn't bad, but having to clean up the aborts on the tubs is a huge chore, and now I have a quart jar jam packed with aborts that I don't know what to do with...So! Here's some pics, what should I do to avoid these pinsets full of aborts? Typically I make my tubs with a 50/50 mix of composted manure and coco coir which I pasteurize for ~1hr at 160-180*F. My subs can go for 4+ flushes, especially if I'm not rotating them out or just letting them sit. Temperatures in my grow area hover around 76-78*f. I fan my tubs 3-5x a day. I have 6-8 holes on the sides of my tubs covered in micropore paper tape to allow passive air exchange, with a fan and air purifier running in the area to keep air moving.


This shows a tub that's just started flushing. A decent pinset has formed.


Same tub a day or two later, you can see the caps starting to darken as the pins abort.


Same tub a few days later, I did a bit of abort clean up but there were just so many...You can see the remnants of the aborts, a large portion of the pinset just dead :frown:


Another tub showing another decent pinset. This tub is now mostly aborted.


And this is yet another tub showing mid flush, mostly aborts, but with some popping up gettin' big. This tub is Eatyu's method, verm and coir mix.

I'm thinking about switching from pore tape to polyfil/eat's fish filters, I have a feeling this is due to lack of FAE, but I'm fanning 3-5 times a day so not sure exactly what else I could do except maybe leave lids slightly open every day to let more passive air exchange occur.

Before anyone says it, no, these tubs are not contaminated. Grains are clean, different strains, different batches. No trich or bacteria in these. You can see no myc 'piss' on them. Surface conditions look fine to me. The last tub that had these mass aborts went 4 flushes and I just tossed it out to make space for more tubs, not a sign of any contam on it, in it, or under it.

Interesting... How are you lighting your tub?

I've never bothered with lighting in individual tubs, but I have 2 6k LED lights in the top of my tent that shine through the paper, so they do get some light, and they get light when they are opened to fan...Maybe I need to get some magnetic light bars for the lids?

That could definitely be it, maybe someone more experienced can chime
in. I once grew some tubs that had grey lids instead of white, they let much less light in and I remember them having lots of knots but piss poor pinsets. If you placed the LEDs closer to your tubs you'll get a lot more light. I put mine about three inches above the lid.

I guess I might as well try, I'll grab some under cabinet lights and try those out.

Perfect, that's basically the sort of light I use too. If you get one long enough you could do two tubs per.

I highly doubt its light if it gets enough amb light in general.
what purifier are you using? is it some ionizer thing?

Didn't even think about that. Ionizers are toxic to all oxygen breathing life if I'm not mistaken.

Something to do with splitting the Oxygen molecules, don't remember :shrug:
but that thing is not good for any life form or at least for what this all about.
I use it to sanitize the room I live laugh and grow in from time to time, does a good job, but I take every living thing out of there.

I think excessive aborts is caused by not having enough moisture in the substrate to support the pinset.

I never had a problem with this over tons if grows until recently, almost definitely heat related in my case.

Some cultures seem prone to it also. My worst was Amazonian which the ones that survived looked just like yours.

This is after harvesting like 300g mature ones, would’ve been an amazing canopy.

I have a purifier with just a small HEPA filter, but it does have a UV-C light built into it. I'll try deactivating the light for my next few runs and see if that helps at all.

I don't believe it's a moisture issue, usually when I crack my tubs to check if they're ready for fruiting the lids have tons of moisture that I end up wiping off as part of my initiation for fruiting. The side walls of my tubs stay thoroughly moist, and when I ran hydrometers in them they'd be mid-high 90's all day/night. Plus I do end up with some very large fruits, and my harvest weights are consistent from tub to tub and strain to strain. It's just that the weight is all compacted into say 10-20 fruits rather than the 100 pins that form and die off.

I've got lights coming tomorrow, fish filter coming tomorrow, and I'm going to deactivate the UV-C. Hopefully that can help amend the issue. I've got 2 tubs that are going to be starting fruiting in the next 2-3 days that were spawned using Eat's method, which has produced these amazing pinsets, so I'm assuming I'll have 2 more tubs with similar pinsets coming in.

Yea I didn't run into a ton of aborts until I started having a ton of pins...I'm using Eat's method for tubs now and I'm seeing super dense pinsets from it. Before I'd get maybe 20-30 aborts per tub, now it's like 70+.

I'm not using agar, I've been doing g2g for my strains for a bit now. None of the tubs pictured were produced using agar. I do my cloning directly to grain. I'm lazy and it works well for me :laugh:

Contaminated spawn is a possibility.

Are you keeping these in a grow tent? If so that’s part of the issue, they most likely are not getting enough FAE. Closet would be bad but a grow tent is a gonna make things much worse IMO.

contaminated with aborts? :lol:
would not say so, unless fcked up genes or smth, I don't think that't the deal too.

Nope, this is why I mention that these tubs can go 4+ flushes easily with no contams. I also have multiple jars of spawn that are months old from the genetics that are g2g'd with no contams. Also you can see from the pictures there's no myc 'piss'/antibodies, so no sign of contams anywhere. Yesterday I tossed 3 tubs, 2 of which had put out 5 flushes and were over a month old, all of which got broken up as I was tossing them out and showed no signs of contams.

Yes, they're in a grow tent. I have an air purifier and a fan that is moving air around in the room, and when I go in for manual FAE every 2-3 hours I leave the door open so fresh air comes in. I have oxygen producing plants (a lot) in the area, so when the door opens the o2 levels are going up. I'm thinking about putting another fan in one of the ports in the tent with a filter hooked to it to bring in fresh air, maybe I'll even hook it straight to one of the other grow tents to bring in high o2 air...

A fan and an air purifier? It's basically a closet, I have my grow tent for my plants next to it, so I just hooked up one of the exhaust fans to the mushroom tent and stuffed a filter in it. Hopefully the increase in O2 helps as well!

Hooked up some lights in the tubs today, opened 2 new ones today, so they've got lights, plus Eat's fish filters, plus the increased O2...Damn things were spawned 7 days ago and already have a nice set of knots so we'll see how they do.
