What percent colonized is this tub?
    #28014380 - 10/24/22 04:13 PM (2 years, 2 months ago)

Tub is a 28qt shoebox (roughly 8" x 13") using PastyWhyte's ez monotub design (with micropore tape on the holes because I'm in a dry climate).

I see posts that say to fruit immediately and some that say wait til 70% and some that wait until first pin shows.

I'm not in any rush, I just want to do it right, so any advice is much appreciated :smile:

It’s currently considered common practice to spawn directly to fruiting conditions.

So ditch the microtape and crack the lid immediately when adding grain to the sub?

I’m not sure cracking the lid is necessary with a pasty ez tub as it has holes, but otherwise, yes.

Your tub looks very dry and that should concern you more than fruiting conditions timing IMO

True, you want to keep the surface covered in tiny beads of water. One, it’s good for what ails you,

Here's a photo after I mist, like I said I'm in a drier climate and need to mist frequently. Previous photo was before today's misting.

This is my first tub, really hoping it make it to the finish line!

Nervous because I have a work trip coming up on the 9th and am really hoping they're harvestable before I leave.

In a perfect world, they'll be ready before I go and I can get the second flush prepped before I leave :crazy2:

That tub should pin any day now if you keep proper surface conditions. I bet you harvest before you leave.

Once you start seeing hyphal  knots form, it is a sign primordial is right around the corner.
