First monotub smells like over ripe bananas
    #26839151 - 07/22/20 07:52 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

I am a total newb and i thought i was having success but now I have had some failed jars and Im worried I have cob web or other contam. Theres even a little green plant growing! Can someone give me some insight? Traditional 66 qt monotub with black liner, holes duct taped, 650g of coir, 5qts water, 2 qts verm, some gypsum, 6 qts of spawn using bods easy af oats. I used bods cooler improved bucket tek for the cvg. Should i take peroxide to anything? Do i dilute the peroxide?

It looks fine to me. Bacteria isn’t really a huge deal ime. If the jar still colonized it should give you at least one good flush. I’ve spawned many jars worse than those.

Your surface looks good just keep doing what you’re doing. Those sprouts are common too, seeds in the coir I guess.

You dont think the bottom left corner of that tub in pic 2 looks extra fuzzy? Or that the left jar looks a lil gray and fuzzy? The rotting fruit smell is whats most concerning for me...

Tub looks good.  Wouldn't worry about it.  The smell you describe is not great.  That right jar kind of looks like oyster mycelium, but many different varieties of cubensis grow differently.

Both of those jars were made from the same jar in g2g, snd some of the other jars just randonly died halfway into colonizing. Im thinking since i will go into fruiting here soon anyway that might help air it out... theres a good amount of moisture between the liner and the tub. Smell could maybe be coming from there.

Let me give you two completely opposite reactions and you’ll see why it doesn’t matter right now:

1. I’m pretty sure your tub is extremely contaminated. You’re likely not going to get any mushrooms from it. But there’s nothing you can do to change that, so just take a breath, follow your chosen tek, and see what happens.

2. Great looking tub, absolutely nothing to worry about. You’re gonna be so happy when you see how many gorgeous mushrooms it produces. For now though, all you can do is take a breath, follow your chosen tek, and see what happens.

Does anyone have any thoughts on when i should go into fruiting conditions? Should i go ahead and do it to try and dry it out?

what condition is it in now?  If its completely sealed then crack it open or open the holes some, depends on the tub set up you are using.  Its 100% colonized and needs air exchange to make mushrooms.  Just not too much or you will have a hard time maintaining good surface conditions.

Its only covered the entire surface like that for a couple days and i thought i was supposed to let it get a little denser before going to fruiting conditions.

And  i will definitely let some more air flow get in regardless

Could someone link me to info on using peroxide on sub contams? If not for this grow then just for future reference? Unless i just read some misleading information somewhere down the line...

Peroxide is next to useless in this hobby. Only good for beating back dactylium for a day or two so you can finish a flush. But dactylium is so easy to avoid its nearly unheard of. If you have even a single hole in the chamber You likely won’t see any “cobweb.”

Otherwise it does nothing. Forget you heard about it. Even when I was growing a fair bit I never once needed it.

Most people are doing fruiting conditions right away now, no more ten days of colonization.

5qts is a lot of water for that recipe in the OP, is that what is in bod mono tek? All coir and vermiculite are a little bit different but I use 2.75 - 3 qt water for a brick of coir and 2qt verm. Even if I was going a little wetter I’d use 3.5 max.

Yeah i went 3.5 originally and it seemed really dry so i did some reading and i guess eventually somehow came to the conclusion that i should add more and ended up at 5... in hindsight its definitely very wet.

Edit: bod calls for 3250... or 5x coir weight. I think my brick also might have actually ended up being a 700g brick in hindsight
