-UPDATE- The frowned upon tek for funsies until my supplies get in. (First attempt)
    #28496329 - 10/08/23 09:42 AM (3 months, 18 days ago)

UPDATE: they’re still not looking amazing but I wanted to ask if this is what knotting looks like?





I posted the other day but it wouldn’t let me upload pictures for some reason. I found a workaround and can now upload them so I’m going to post a second time and no more after that. This is the UB tek for fun until my supplies get in and then I’m obviously not doing this anymore. I just wanted to test my ability to inoculate things and spawn to bulk in a clean way. UB to Coir in two small takeout trays. The first bag had a couple grains of rice that turned green because they got stuck up at the top of the bag and didn’t colonize. I still spawned it just to see what happens. The second bag had a chunk of mold on the corner so I ripped it all off and wiped the spot down with rubbing alcohol. (When I broke it up I didn’t see any other mold any where in it) if this is or gets contaminated I won’t be mad because it’s just a random grow for fun. It does look bad, it’s not neat and clean, it’s just thrown together and looks kind of sad but it smells like mushrooms, isn’t green and looks alright I guess. Id like people opinions on it though so feel free to yell at me for messing with uncle bens. Lol

Thanks!

i did some ub bags for the same reasons, too excited while waiting for stuff to get through shipping. Your attempt at ub is going better than mine did if it smells like shrooms, my "best" bag smelled like fermented ass. worst case you end up with stuff for the compost pile, best case you'll get a fruit to clone. hope you have the ability to start agar soon because it's a lot more fun than shooting juice in a bag

It looks off to me. You might get a few fruits, but it looks like it's on it's way to collapse.
Contamination is always worse than it looks, so spawning with something that had mold in it will always fail.
Luckily it wasn't a costly experiment and you already know there is a better path to success.
Good luck with your next project!

I’m glad I’m not the only one to do it for that reason. I’m sorry yours didn’t turn out well. I only did two bags and so far they’re doing alright even though one had mold on it. The one that’s doing the best is the one I tried to use rubbing alcohol to kill the mold which is odd to me. Agar will be a while for me at least until I get paid again so I’m going to just do the PF tek to bulk for a while until I can get agar and hopefully find a cheapish PC. Hell if these two actually fruit I may continue to do this every once and again just for the hell of it to see how often they contam out (separate rooms from my other grows obviously).

It do be looking off haha the whole thing bruised when I misted it. Maybe I went a little heavy on it but here’s hoping something comes from it. The top one is the one I’m expecting to fruit although the bottom one has almost fully colonized throughout the bottom and sides so I dunno. Still fun to do even if I fail though. Thanks for your input!

that's a solid plan, pf tek is basically structured around your situation. for reference i did 8 bags and they all ended up nasty. UB kind of feels like a speedrunning strat. if you're very good at the game then it can sometimes get you to the finish line very fast, but if you're noobs like us then it's just asking for more frustration. for what it's worth the top runners around here don't use it, so it's not that great of a strat anyway. i'd suggest saving the money for that PC. double suggested because it's chili soup and stew season

Yeah I definitely don’t think it’s the best or even a “good” way to do things but I won’t say it isn’t possible to have good success with it. I’ve seen many MANY people just use UBs tek and have great success. I can see why people wouldn’t like it when they’ve done it the hardest of ways for many years and then some people can just come in and have decent grows from microwaveable rice. I’d probably hate it too if I were in that situation. I’ll keep this updated whenever it either ‘tams out or fruits!

That first one looks decent actually. If no mold shows up over the next few days you’ll prob get something from it.

Thanks. That gives me hope especially coming from a TC! :3
I thought it looked okay but seeing as I’m new I thought I was just being too hopeful.
That’s the bottom of the other tub and the sides are fully colonized as far as I can tell. It does look like an ASS load of moisture to me though.

The first one already has mold near the bottom center.

The blue spots? I’m almost 100% certain that’s bruising. The whole thing bruised after I misted it the first time when it dried out some. I misted it pretty hard. I’ll take another picture soon and you can decide however that wasn’t there until I misted.

Ok cool, looks greenish to me.
The other thing that strikes me as off is that the mycelium seems alot whiter in that lower center than the rest of the tub. That can be an early warning sign.

Yeah I don’t doubt at all that it’s not perfect and I’m sure something is wrong. I used a lot of colonized rice an didn’t need much coir to fill the small tub so I was hoping since it didn’t have a lot to finish colonizing it would work out. The whole thing turned blue after I misted though so I’m pretty sure what you’re seeing is that but I could be wrong I just don’t see mold turning a moldy color as soon as I misted the first time. Then again I’ve only read on growing not actually practiced it. I’m not the one that should even make arguments I’m also just being hopeful lol

I read on here someplace that to check if it is bruising or mold is, take a sterile cotton swab and wipe it on the blue and then wipe the swab on a piece of white paper or a napkin or something similar, and if nothing comes off it is bruising, and if something comes of it is bacterial.

Thanks I will! It already seems less bruised than it was originally but I took a 4K video and just took a screen shot of that lol still looks like bruising to me though.


I couldn’t get the whole thing cause it was too big and had to be cropped more.

I’ll probably try that if it gets worse, thanks!
