Hows this looking? Need noob advice.
    #26924091 - 09/08/20 04:24 AM (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hello,
This is my fist grow in bulk substrate. Had some issues in the beginning. I melted a spawn bag, in the pressure cooker and noticed some rot/ mold in one spawn bag after about 28 days.
Surprisingly i was able to save it. When i took it out i not so surgically removed the mold. lost a bit of spawn but the rest was good I cracked it open and it was pure white. I said f--- it and put it in a separate tub. if it goes bad it goes bad. All I am losing it time. the other bag was totally fine.
However both tubs seem really healthy, so happy about that.

My question is when to start fanning these tubs to induce fruiting?

I was going to let it go another 4 days. it has been 9 days for tub 1, and 8 days for tub 2.

Thanks in advance everyone

It looks to me tyhat you have escaped the many noob mistakes that everybody makes. So don't blow it now! I don't know what conditions got you to where you are now, but just stick to the basic rules,

Air exchange, stagnant air is no good; just like you, at this point, mycelium needs to breathe. Don't seal anything shut, but don't just leave the cover off either.
Sub moisture; you don't want wet, you don't want dry... What you want is moist. If things look too dry, mist a bit (walmart or whatever big box store has a gardening dept., get a spray bottle).

Keep the above points in mind, and after a decent grow (which looks likely, unless you totally blow it), then you can concentrate on tweeking your grow methods for awesomeness :mushroom2:
Good luck!

Thanks, yeah i have been known to sh-- the bed at the last second... But i am very cautious. Read over simple instructions and watched simple videos many times and wrote down every step. also kept a journal of what i did and mistakes i ve made.

I will start fanning them a bit. I just happen to have these tubs that have vents on top that you can close or leaver open. they have been open the whole time lets it breathe a little bit but not like fanning. I was not sure if it was the right thing but apparently it was :smile:. The mycelium has been growing and spreading every day.

I will try not to blow it and hopefully be a proud papa of some great mushrooms.... hope to post a success soon. just disappointed i cant share.

Be careful with fanning at this stage.
While colonizing, too much air exchange isn`t what you want.
You trigger fruiting conditions too early with that, and risk your sub to dry out.
Passive air exchange from dialing in is all you need, from the start `til the end.
Only concentrate on the surface now, keep it moist with fine water pearls, and allow a bit air.

Yeah i noticed they are doing fine with these little vents open at the top. breathing but not flowing through. i do see pearls on the mycelium like you said. no pooling water, which is good. i think i just stumbled on to a good thing with these tubs.

i am really anxious because im afraid it will get mold. i feel like i shouldnt have written that.  :facepalm3: since i have put it in the tub i have not had to mist even once. moisture is pretty consistent. thanks for the advice, and i will watch the air flow. maybe just fan at night before bed just to get some fresh air in there before i turn the lights out.

my plan is to wait like another 5 days before i start to induce the fruiting. what do you think? should the whole top of the substrait be white? should fruiting happen when its time?

Usually you don`t need a big white carpet.
I always apply a little top layer from the start, where the mycelium just peeps through here and there.
Let it fruit as it wants to, you have knotting on it`s way,
you should see pins the next days.
Just a bit more patience :wink:
