Would you dunk this?
    #28029319 - 11/02/22 11:41 AM (2 years, 2 months ago)



First time grower. From what I learned, this sub was initially dry so I’ve been working uphill ever since. That being said, it has produced some mushrooms sporadically, without distinct “flushes” (not sure how distinct flushes generally are and I’m not really sure I’m achieved anything that could be considered a flush :wink:

Would you guys dunk this? Or just keep misting?

i find it to be a lot of trouble and a waste of water. you can just mist or pour water on a sub and it will take what it needs. especially with a liner dunking is a pain

I will tell you what Baked is too nice to tell you: your tub is very bacterial and is about to die.

If you want to hang on to it, you can keep hoping for a few shrooms here and there. Personally I wouldn't put any energy into it and move on to another project.

Still, you got your 1st shrooms. GJ :super:

Edit: respectfully, IMO, you should describe your process or ask us questions regarding improvement in your cultivation, not how to get a few more fruits from that tub :wink:

Haha. I prefer direct feedback. Part of the reason I posted the pic was because i wasn’t sure what I was looking at and wanted some eyes on it. Just trying to learn.

Gonna start a new project soon. Hoping that most of my issues stem from over relying on the Martha Tent, which resulted in a dry substrate. I’m gonna try a monotub next time while continuing to experiment with the Martha.

Glad I didn’t toss it. All things considered, I was pleasantly surprised by this final push.

This is exactly what happened to my first grow (+liner) due to some volume/weight measurement mistakes on my part. Most of the growth was around the sides of the tub, similar to what yours seems to be displaying. I wasn't sure about FAE and misting, so I both choked my myc to start, then let it dry too much. Still my tub was forgiving and gave me some fruits and slowly came to a stop. I dunked it for 24 hours, keeping it submerged for a small portion of the time. After popping it out, seems some fruits have already started growing, still waiting on results. I presume this is your only tub, so I'd harvest when ready and once it stops producing dunk it.. if it fruits more, your issues were indeed hydration.

I watered the plants with the left over water, who knows, I may get some surprises growing from the pots in the near future.

If its any consolation, my 2nd tub produced roughly 1kg (wet weight) in the 1st flush and the 3rd is due to start pinning any day now.
