Question about tub drying out
#27315980 - 05/20/21 07:56 AM (3 years, 7 months ago) |

I worked incredibly hard for a number of months to make sure that I had really really clean spawn. I made a tub that colonized aggressively and looked great. Then, I left town and the person who was supposed to watch it let the tub dry out pretty bad over a few days.
I went to dunk it when I got back into town and then after a few days it started producing mushrooms. However, I see thee is some trich beginning to grow in one corner.
Is this likely due to the damage it took when drying out? Thank you.

No, it's unfortunately most likely due to your spawn not being as clean as you thought. Generally speaking if a substrate gets contaminated prior to fruiting it's the grain spawn.

I feel your pain bro. After 3-4 months of hard work this was the best growth I had out of 4 shoeboxes despite thinking my spawn was immaculate 

What DERRAYLD said is the unfortunate truth. Keep at it my guy

We all have our moments.... I've literally just dumped 2 large hpoo tubs that would not fruit regardless what I did for them, 5 days ago the green started and I now realize why I've been struggling with my grain for a while.
Started over with a new slice of clean agar and have no issues with my current jars.

Alright I've been failing for an incredibly long time and I follow everything to the T:
You think I should try smaller tubs?
8 cups verm, 4 jars spawn and a whole brick of coir make kind of large tubs. Maybe do twice as many at half size?
I'm desperate here. I've read everything on everything and can't figure out what the fucking problem is.

Your grain is the problem, have you gone to agar to check if your culture is clean?

Don't let failure discourage you, it's a part of everything, treat it as a learning tool and figure out what is going wrong.
Can I show you something?

That's what I'm dealing with at the moment, I didn't even want to post that but I think everyone can learn from their mistakes and use it as a lesson for the future.

If I showed you pictures of my agar you would say that that looks 100% clean. Honestly it looked clean after the first transfer and then I did two more.
And then very carefully used it to knock up a jar of grains that had been pressure cooked for 100 minutes.
And then used that jar to knock up seven more and made a tub.
