How does this MonoTub look?
    #26809612 - 07/07/20 06:16 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hey Guys,

  10 days in since spawn was put to bulk substrate.  Was sealed in the dark for 6 days and untaped with poly added 4 days ago along with introducing 12/12 light. 

Had some moisture issues when showed the first pictures 4 days ago, which is why it was untaped and the poly added.  Also flipped the lid at the time to evaporate some moisture and had to drain water out of the bottom between the liner and container.  I was told that didn’t matter so much though so probably did for nothing.  (Thanks for everyone that helped.)

Room temp has been around 77-78 the entire cycle.  I know that’s probably high.  Will work on lowering in a day or two.  Not going to be around.

Anyway, haven’t had to mist at all yet since there is still little droplets over about 80-90% of it.  And there is still some water trapped underneath so that’s probably helping with not needing to mist. 

Anyway, here is the picture.  It looks good to me but wanted some expert opinions since first grow and a noob.  Just want to be safe.

you don’t really need to keep it sealed in darkness ever but if it floats your boat go for it



i was gonna say it looks like it was a little wet but you explained that in your post. is that a crack in the middle of the sub? lol

maybe someone will disagree but it looks fine to me, just let it get FAE & you’ll probably be golden. looks like some primordia is popping up

Yeah, when draining it had to push on the bottom center of it to get the water to flow to the hole that was made.  Wasn’t thinking and it cracked the center.  But it seems to be healing a little.  Looked worse yesterday. 

Should the FAE holes be untaped all the way?  Right now there’s a single layer of Micropore tape on them.

lmfao i've definitely done shit like that. usually my subs have recovered extremely well; i've even just stuffed broken pieces into smaller tubs & have had them do fine



uhh, i don't know much abt taped tubs. i usually just crack the lid & have been fine. i'd say maybe let it breathe a little more. you don't want the surface to dry out either though

Have this in like two small spots.  From researching it seems to be metabolite but just wanted to show you guys since you know better.  Should the worrying begin or is it okay?  11 day’s in.






You can see it in the pic from my original post.  It’s at the top about 4 FAE holes from the right.

hard to tell from the pic but looks like there was just a large water droplet on the surface. happens to my tubs all the time. you can soak it up with a soft touch of a paper towel or you can just leave it

Thanks!  Was a little worried.  I’ll just leave it for now.

Hey surfing, where did you learn to keep a tub sealed in darkness? Just curious because I have never read instructions to do this and I keep seeing others doing it.

Honestly, I was doing a lot of reading and watching stuff on YouTube.  Can’t remember exactly where but I was under the impression that keeping it in the dark and sealing the holes and only having the loose fitting lid for little air to flow through would cause high CO2 levels and allow the Mycelium to colonize quicker and more efficiently.  Then when ready to fruit take it out of the dark and allow fresh air to come in and it would go from there.  BUT I have since learned this is incorrect and outdated information.

yeah the CO2 stuff doesn’t seem to matter much IME. i leave all my shit (jars, agar plates etc.) in my closet with 12/12 lighting & they do fine
