Hey y’all, I harvested all the mature fruits in my tub yesterday and decided to dunk my cake for another flush. I’m still new to the process so I left fruits that weren’t ready yet to pick (half were pins but also half were medium-sized fruits with veil intact). My tub isn’t looking so good so I’m realizing I should’ve picked all the fruits prior to dunking. 

I have other tubs growing and was mostly experimental so I’m not too worried if the tubs no longer good, but I’d like your opinion/advice on whether to clear your tubs prior to harvest. Also, black caps like these mean aborts correct?

Undeveloped fruits will essentially abort following a harvest and dunk to such a degree.

Personally I'd remove all those dead ones and let it ride. Probably get a second flush.

100% of my tubs have contammed despite the fact that im pretty damn sure my grain has been clean. Starting to think its the eco earth coir. I regularly find things like this sprout growing in my tubs. Is it likely the coir is the culprit?



This is becoming exhausting. I cultivated years ago and didnt have these kinds of issues even when going syringe to grain.

Got any pics of the spawn?

I often really really want to blame the coir but in reality it's usually the spawn that does the contam. Although the seeds sprouting is interesting, do you not use hot water at all for your coir prep? Do you do your spawning outside? Tiny seeds flying in the air is not impossible.

That jar's pretty bacterial if it needs the Fuckotron 3000 to break it up. Just saying.

Does bucket tek technically pasturize vs sterilize? If so is bucket tek a suitable option for pasturizing peat moss for casings?

I pour boiling water via bucket tek indoors. Ive been germinating spores on agar, transferring to water agar, back to normal agar, and using that to inoculate jars. Hard to believe theyre all failing still. Not sure what else to try. Pcing for 2.5 hours instead of 2 and switching to canna coir is the only thing i can think of. Ive been through so many damn materials without any real success for the past 8 months. Its gotten disheartening. Youd imagine one would succeed even if just by dumb luck atleast once now but no. My agar all looks good and rarely contams outside of germ plates so it makes no sense that the spawn all be bad every single time. The tubs always colonize quickly, stay colonized and clean looking for 3-4 weeks, and then suddenly contam before putting out any fruits.

dude i feel you on a spiritual level. literally the past 2.5 years i’ve been in that same boat, & shit has just gotten worse & worse as i’ve tried to troubleshoot. used to be able to get a canopy & a bit of a second flush before mold, lately haven’t even really been able to harvest much. here’s my journal on it if you wanted to peruse. i tried so many things, really tightened my shit up technique/prep wise, did like 5 straight water agar transfers etc. still nothing. i felt like i was going insane

im not out of the woods yet, but i have reason to believe my last jars were finally clean.

what kind of lids are you using on your grain jars??

One piece metal lids with 1/4" hole covered with sfd sticker.







My spawn always looks flawless or I wouldnt use it. I use a small 0.5" x 0.5" wedge and it will colonize a quart jar in 2.5 weeks like clockwork. Recovers quick from a shake etc. I did manage to get one tub spawned at 1:1 to put out 20 g dry shrooms over 4 flushes but when I went to clone the fruits they were enmeshed with mold and impossible to get a clean culture from. On the bright side I feel like Ive become a pro at agar over this endeavor.

I inoculated 3 x 2lb bags of sterilized rye with a multispore syringe. (I know better now)

Now I have two bags that are 95% colonized after shaking, and a third that is about 11 days slower to colonize than the others (sitting at maybe 10%-15% now). All look clean by my eye so far, and I was pretty anal about sanitizing when inoculating

I planned on using Bod's unmodified monotub tek, and just using coir, but I've got variables I didn't anticipate:

1. Is 6lb rye grainspawn too much for a 54qt monotub if I'm prioritizing success over yield? Without opening the bag, I'll have to calculate volume with LxWxH estimates.

2. Should I be assuming when I see "quarts" of grainspawn listed in teks, it's actually 2/3 quart jar based on prevailing practices?

3. How deep is too deep on my substrate/spawn mix before I'd start getting into trouble? 4"?

4. Should I be mixing all three bags in a single monotub considering how much slower the third colonized? Would I be much safer just using the two faster colonizing bags and isolating the third in another tub?

Thanks for any help.

damn RIP ): well it sounds like we weren't having the same issues on that level as i think switching lids has been key for me, & you're already using SFDs. i will say, my new jars have been colonizing much faster than i'm used to. like had some jars done in around 10 days, usually i was more around that 2-2.5 week mark for 100%. my grains always looked flawless up until that 90% shake & then showed bacterial symptoms. obviously there are a million factors with colonization speed, but side by side between modded/unmodded lids there was a marked difference for me.

i hope you can get shit figured out soon man, i know how frustrating these kinds of long term issues can be. i almost quit cultivating multiple times bc it was getting so exhausting to troubleshoot. if there's one silver lining, it definitely forces you to get good with your shit :lol:
