That much contamination would certainly be frustrating.

I'd start by reconsidering the basics -- are you sure your PC is actually sterilizing? Gauge is working correctly, you're doing the 10+ minute steam venting step, etc etc?

In your SAB... Are you using something like soapy water to mist the interior? Are you elevating the work surface off the bottom of the SAB? Are you taking care not to move your hands and forearms over open dishes? Does the room have still air? Etc etc.

I'm pretty new too, and I've had really good luck so far with agar in my SAB. That doesn't mean I am a genius, but it makes me think there is something simple going wrong in your process, and maybe something you would not suspect. Maybe you are doing everything correctly, but the pre-sterilized petris are bad.

If you were not getting this much contamination in the past then I would suspect the agar or petris not being sterile.

And yeah, leave a control plate when doing agar work. I do it whenever I can. It can save you a lot of headache.

Now I'm getting worried that I didn't do a control plate in my last agar batch. Fuck.:tryingnottodie:

I have a cake in my water tub which has some blue colored spots.

Is this bruising or mold?



Before i put it there, it pinned early and grew some fruits without me dunking it.

After i harvested the fruits i gave it a dunk and rolled it in verm.

Phew. I am relieved.

Does this look alright? Just made a shoebox and the top 1/3 or so is straight coir. Seems thick to me, do I need to redo? Top 1.7 cm or about 5/8 of an inch is top layer coir, everything is well compressed by hand. The sub is otherwise 1:2 shredded PF:coir

Quick Question:
Shoebox (coir) spawned on 12.05. So far mycelium growth can be measured almost by the hour and everything looks normal.

Today, in the morning (14.05) I've looked into the shoebox (from outside of the box) and saw nothing unusual. Same day, evening, saw 3 white whispy, fuzy, tiny spots.
I have carefully removed them using a sanitized utensil.
Is this mold (each spot is 1mm or less in diameter)?


And one ΓΌpicture of the white stuff on the utensil used:


Thank you everybody!

So why is it I see some cultivators here saying last grow of the season? Should I not be growing all year? Do you get more contams at a certain time of year?

If you're doing a pseudo casing layer I believe generally you'll use a quarter of your total sub for it.

I've got those shoes too, tight lid eh?

Ok. Is it to the point I should redo the box or let it ride?

Yeah, fairly tight snap down lids.

Depending on what you grow and your environment, some may not be able to grow all year. I have a hell of a time growing right now. When I turn the heat off, but it hasn’t gotten to be Summer yet, things slow way down.

Looks like it’s dehydrated, are you using an SGFC or water tub or what? I see a lot of people run into this problem esp with the phase-out of the SGFC

With coir? How are you keeping the roots from getting tangled. There are better ways. Many better ways.:amanita2:

Re: Ask Quick Questions, Get Quick Answers [Re: Proposition 122]
    #28319869 -

I put 3 qts of millet spawn to half a brick of coir and 1.5qt of verm into a 32qt tub on 7 May. This is my second try at this type of tub it is a Pasty style mono but smaller, and last time it dried out. This time I have put micropore tape on all holes. I had a look today, and I am unsure what I should do. I don't really see any water on the mycelium surface.

I have yet to grow a shroom except on an old agar plate. Tired of failure, and would like advice on what I should do with this tub at this stage.

Tub is in a closet and temp has been 72F and Humidity right around 36%

Thank you
