[Contamination??] How do these tubs look?
    #26949374 - 09/22/20 01:36 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Hello all.  As I've rediscovered this hobby, 10 years later, I have had much fun and success with agar and grains. 

I am attempting bulk for the first time using Bod's unmodified tubs and some shoeboxes.  I have not been using overhead lights, but rather just a sunny window which I, perhaps incorrectly, assumed would ultimately be better for the fruities.  However, I now realize the lights serve to stimulate a sort of convection effect.  I'm also worrying if my house has been too cold, as I keep my central air off unless absolutely necessary.  I wear a sweater day and night if it's chilly.  I'd say it stays 60 - 70 in the house.  Perhaps this explains the potential issues I'm having. 

First I'm posing 2 shoeboxes and 1 tub to show the surface conditions and humbly ask for a critique/analysis of what our wonderful community can glean from them with regard to surface conditions or other factors. 

All are agar wedge to oat to coir w/ a lil verm and a thin top layer of coir just for fun.

First up is a 20 qt. Sterilite:  overhead, closeup, sideview.  Note the uncolonized corners?  Perhaps I should mist there a bit?  I just keep the lid flipped or fitting loosely.  Surface feels most and leaves my finger wet when touched. 
Day 12:




Next, a 54 qt. Sterilite with the same views.  Lid has remained flipped from the beginning.  Lots of moisture drops on the surface, and some pooling around the edges.  Too much? 
Day 12:




Day 12 6 qt. shoebox, loose lid.  Seems moist and dew-y.




These next 2 shoeboxes are all on day 4.  less moist, not sure if should mist.
20 qt. Sterilite:




12.7 qt. Sterilite less moist, not sure if should mist.




12.7 qt. Sterilite day 4 looks identical to above. 


T H A N K Y O U for your time and knowledge.

The fluffy mycelium is no bueno . Most of yo tubs look good with rhizo mycelium. Reduce rh and or freah air in tub 1. Evaporation and light is needed for fruiting now. Stop misting if you want fruit
