Thank you Baba Yaga, Hindsight, and Adas for the reassurance.  Baba - I can see quite a few of those concentrations with metabolites oozing out on the surface of that tub. Thanks for that picture.
On another note…
Do either of you use LC or LI for your pans? I’m giving it some thought. I’ve never heard of anyone trying a GLC / GLI but I might give it a shot. (LI from colonized grain jar shaken with sterile water).  I’ve been thinking about doing bigger grows of the pans so thinking of ways to get more substrate inoculated …

On yet another note … a Ps. Mexicana (Chicon Nindo) taking up some real estate in my pan fruiting chamber:

Nice, what ratio were you using and are you prepping both separately or do you pasteurize together? Verm is twice as expensive as coir around here.

I noticed something interesting with a tray of Pan Cyan Peace River yesterday. This is the first tray of Peace River I have fruited. Very dense pin-set, that is then shooting up handfuls of mature fruits while most of the pins kind of languish a bit. BVI did this to me too, to a lesser extent.

But the main thing I want to mention here is that it was looking somewhat dry, despite the rest of the trays in my tent looking too wet, so without making any other changes, I used my atomizing mist spray bottle to spray the fruits in order to get some extra moisture in there. Within 8 hours, a ton of pins/fruits turned blue! I don't know if they will abort or not but this is the first time I have seen it and I'm wondering if maybe there can sometimes be validity to people who used to claim misting pans will cause aborts. I don't generally mist my pans because my cycles generally make things perfect, but I do feel like I've misted on rare occasion before without negative effect, so I think this is a first.

The photo makes it look like less of a problem than it is - it's hard to see the blue color of dozens of some of those tiny pins, but their caps did turn blue. Not all of them, but a lot. If you expand the photo ALL the way out you can see it fairly well.

This is one of mine with lots of aborts after misting, it also had green growing on the bottom which I noticed when I chucked it on the compost
pile. It doesn't happen all that often and I will try taking notes and see if there is a correlation.

Do pans ever pin from grains in jars?

Thanks for the feedback! I've got Wild Coast on grain too, almost ready to proceed onto the next step with these.
