Need advice.

Been reading a long time and tried my first grow. I used rye grain and followed all sterile teks. Inoculated grain with LC. Grain took 4 weeks to fully colonize. I used bucket tek for sub cv. Using monotub modified I did 1 to 2 ratio. It's benn 14 days since s2b and this is what it's looking like. I also went straight to growing conditions. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You got pics of your spawn? 4 weeks for LC to colonize a jar is a long time

that tub looks rough. to actually know what went wrong we would need to see pics of your agar and spawn and get a complete breakdown of your process. "followed sterile teks" means a lot of different things to a lot of different people

This was a 4lbs rye grain bag I did. These are pics of jars with same LC.

That tub is trash. Try again and use clean spawn this time.

ive definitely seen worse jars make better tubs, so im tempted to think something else is going on. but i dont know what they looked like fully colonized so maybe it was indeed the spawn. how did you inoculate them?

I'm not saying those jars are bad, but those jars are NOT the grain bag that was used for that tub. You'll know more about the health of those jars when they get near finishing colonization.

Maybe it was your grains in the bag. The jars look good. I'd try to get the bulk colonized first next time before exposing it to the air for fc.

That's what I'll try. I've done so much reading and the most recent consensus is most are fruiting at spawn right away. I'll try a couple 7qt bins with the jars I have and save some for g2g. Lid closed on the bins and fruit after colonizing. Thanks.

I've always gone straight to fc with cubensis as well. Try one of each. One straight to fc and one colonizing. We are just guessing why this may have contaminated. The colonizing first is to protect your substrate from the environment (who knows what condtions are there) to see if that makes a difference.

I'll try both and come back with progress and hopefully results. The rye bag did have a lot metabolites but thought it looked good when 100% colonized. These jars look a lot better than the bag did. Thank you

Tossed that mono and started over with the 3 jars in a 15qt unmodded tub. Followed shoebox Tek. This is day 17 after spawn. Opinions?

Bottom picture looks like trich on the right but you dont see it in the first pic. Its probably just the lighting.
Otherwise they look good.
