How is this looking? 2

Hello everyone, Thank you for taking the time to read my post. This is my first attempt at a mono tub grow, so any criticism is welcome and appreciated. I would just like to start by thanking the posters here at the shroomery for all the wonderful information here. I would never have gotten this far without you.
Back on topic, I put my 66qt tub made to pasty’s ez dialed specs in fruiting conditions directly after spawning 5 qts of fully colonized PE rye grain to damion5050’s bucket tek substrate. This was about 10 days ago, not fully colonized but I have read PE can be a very slow colonizer. Basically my question is does this look right in terms of development and surface conditions, any input is appreciated.

That is excellent to hear, I am very excited to hopefully see some pinning soon. I can’t express how grateful I am for this community, though I haven’t posted much. Thank you very much for your swift response. Hopefully soon I’ll have some prints to get out there, b+ and tidal wave ready on agar now for my next grows… I still need a lot more posts and the middle of November I hope to gain access to the marketplace I have heard about.

I like my surface to glisten a bit from good moisture. I can't tell from your pic if your surface is like that, but you can with your own eyes.
It does look like your surface is filling in nicely, though. Hope you get abundant fruits!

Hey guys,
I have an update and a few questions. First I noticed my first pins today! It has been a very slow process but I guess that is just the nature of penis envy.
My question is, because it has been so long (over two weeks) to see pins should I need to mist? I have noticed that there is not really any beads of water in my surface, however I have noticed a lot of trusted cultivators warn against misting a mono. Would this mean you shouldn’t have to under ideal conditions? Also if I do mist, what would be the most beneficial way to do so?

no one would recommend against misting, they probably mean its unnecessary if you have it dialed in. mist until you see tiny beads on the surface, otherwise dont bother it

Okay, thank you very much. The speed of replies here is astonishing. I will give the surface a good misting and keep some updates of progress on this thread.

Update, I gave the surface several good listings and have put a small fan of the room. First I tried a big oscillating fan but I feel it was too much in the small room as several hours after a misting the surface would no longer glisten. So I have put a small 5”x5” 120v fan blowing in a different direction than the tub. This seems to work well. Thanks for the help bakedbeings.

I will be away for about three days at work and I’m not sure what to expect. My tub is in a pretty much sealed room with very still air. this should be no problem?
(Edit: I did turn of the fan as bakedbeings suggested, which I’m glad he did.)

Thank you, you are a life saver. If you want to pm me a mailing address I can send you some spores if this grow turns out any good.

Psilocybe semilanceata Is also native to my area and in season if prints would be of any interest I should have no problem getting a sample. However, I haven’t seen anyone who has had any real success with cultivation. There is a forum on here dedicated to them though.
