Okay great. I figured that was likely substrate but I wanted to make sure

Johnny, you're gonna be able to recognize when pins start popping up, trust. I'm just about to harvest my first grow, which is also APE. They look like little tiny mushrooms sticking up above the surface.

 Surface at this point has so many tiny water droplets. It’s super pretty to see. I always have to be careful not to bang the top that water knocks down onto the surface cause this tub is covered in condensation. I could only get pics thru the small hole in the middle.

Current status today of how it’s looking. Appreciate any feedback. Just waiting on the early signs of pinning so I can case it. Haven’t opened the container yet, it’s only been 9 days since transferring it to the monotub. Not sure if its contamination resistant yet.

Regarding the dehydration method @screwup replied to. Does that mean I can skip the drying stage and go straight to dehydration. I just got my dehydrator today. It has 8 trays and was on sale for black friday deals woot 100 bux. goes up to 170 degrees

There is no drying stage before dehydration. Harvest and put in the dehydrator.

Yeah not sure which drying stage you are referring to. ~160f for 24 hours is all you should need.

Good and bad news. I noticed a fluffy white patch that seemed very tint green. I did the qtip test and it was indeed trich. I managed to salvage my cake thankfully. It dug deeper than i thought. I tried cutting out the corner initially. And cut out deep enough to not see any green in the middle. after a couple hrs each time i would check to see if i saw any green. For two more times i saw a couple grains that would turn green after taking a quarter of the cake out. There has been no more further growth of green coming from inside the substrate. I think I managed to save it. Im really glad i noticed a tiny fluffy circle and I’m very glad it was in the very corner. Must have been from the water dripping from the top case. I noticed a few drops of water had pooled there while it was colonizing so i didnt wanna disturb. But glad I managed to salvage what I could. Keeping a close eye on it now.

The trich wasn't from water dripping. It was from your spawn, especially if it wasn't fully colonized. Contamination almost always starts with dirty spawn.
I'm rooting for you, but trich is a mean bastard and tends to spread through the entire substrate. You're likely fighting a losing battle.

I think APE is one of the most strange cubes. I admit I adore looking at them lol. They look exactly like shrooms an old witch would use to make a potion. Too bad there are nowhere to be found in Europe.

You're following some awful information. You need to forget everything you read elsewhere, read the hitchhikers guide to the shroomery, and stop following dodgy teks. Contamination almost always comes from unclean spawn, as soon as you spawned uncolonised grain we knew it would fail. Listen to the good people of the shroomery, we have your back. Fingers crossed but that tubs probably a gonner.
