1st grow, look ok so far?
    #26875902 - 08/11/20 08:52 PM (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hi everyone, new user here with my 1st grow! I have been lurking for a while and I am grateful for all of the information I have gathered from this site and all of the experts, I appreciate you all. I inoculated four rye grain 1lb bags in a SAB, three colonized great, and one smelled funny so I threw it in the backyard. On 08/07/20 I spawned the rye grain to h/poo and mixed, not layered. Applied a casing layer and put straight into fruiting with medium polyfill in all 6 holes. Monotub is on a high shelf in a walk in closet with ambient temps at a steady 77F. I have a hepa running 24/7 in the room and AC Running intermittently throughout the day.  Also, I have had a 12/12 light cycle from spawning. As of today 08/11/20, this is an inside shot of my substrate 4 days after spawning to bulk. As this is my 1st grow, how are things looking?  I seem to be having small white hairs growing throughout the substrate. Any tips would be appreciated.

The hole configuration looks wrong  🤔

Yes should have put the long side holes further apart.  Hoping it wont have a huge effect on the end result, thanks.

It may not look like accepted setups but that's ok. You can always play with it to get it right.

If you take close pics of the growth inside someone here will be able to tell you if all is well with what you have going on now.

The two links below will take you to some of the best collection of teks on shoomery. Both include similar but different mono tub setups that are proven.

Thank you! I appreciate the links. Im trying my best not to open the lid until full colonization, hard enough not to look at it everyday anyway lol. I tried to take some close up pics, will update more as it continues to colonize.

Sounds and looks like mycelium, which is what you want. It can be either rhizomorphic (kinda ropey or hairy in radial patterns) or fuzzy. Neither is better than the other.

Thank you both, fingers crossed for a successful 1st attempt! I do now question if the hole placement Is influencing the growth pattern though. There seems to be much more colonization in the areas next to the 4 long side holes. Hopefully it goes from the middle outward!

Thank you for the input and well wishes. Here is an updated shot day 13 since spawning to bulk 8/7/20. My very 1st pins, proud papa over here! Moisture is beading across the surface of the substrate , and still have not opened monotub since spawning, nor have I adjusted polyfill. Looks on the up and up, any pointers appreciated.

Looks like your top holes maybe are stuffed too tight with polyfil.  Loosen it up a little bit and you will get better FAE. should be a day or 2 more til they are ready. 🤗

Thank you, will increasing the FAE influence better growth for the smaller pins near those holes? Are the fruiting bodies showing lack of FAE?

From all the teks about monotubs you want the top holes lightly filled with the polyfil. This way the tub gets dialed in .

Looks really good so far 👍

Yea don’t worry about the holes, just pay attention and adjust as needed with more or less polyfill, misting, cracking the lid, etc.

I noticed you seem to have the 54qt gasket lid.  Bod’s tek shows that you can get proper FAE by turning that lid upside down on the tub, because of the 4 slots it makes where the handles are.  No holes or polyfil required.  You can find that through links in my sig if curious. 👍

Caps that shape scare me, I never know if it’s just gonna be the pointy Taj Mahal caps or if they’re aborting.

Conditions look good, way better than mine were my first handful of grows.

Decreased polyfill in top holes, released clasps on top lid to allow for more FAE. Looking like Taj Mahal

Most definitely. Im wondering as this will probably grow at uneven rates, just pick them as they grow? Right before the veil breaks correct?  From what Ive read I believe I’m going to cut instead of twist as to not damage the substrate. How long does this continue until its time to soak the cake for the 2nd flush? Appreciate all of the commentary everyone.

Looks good. A few of them are right where I like to harvest unless I need to print them. The ones with the lighter caps that are round with the veil just starting to pull tight.

No smaller mushrooms are usually more potent according to most people but like everything else that’s debated.

So I harvested the remaining flush this morning as the rest were all breaking veil. I now have the substrate submerged in water, has been all day, and plan to drain and put into fruiting conditions again tonight. Do I replace polyfill as it was before? Anything done differently at this point? Thank you all for your help so far.

Nope everything should be the same.

I always got super waterlogged flushes dunking for more than a couple hours though.

Ok cool I drained it and put back to fruiting. The sub was pretty thick so I hope that it's beneficial.

Nice dude. I am on my 1st grow as well, have several tubs 'just in case' but I think they are actually all looking good so far. My farthest from spawn is only at 11 days though, no pins yet :tongue:
