First Monotubs - Getting Balls/Knots but not pins
    #28902104 - 08/06/24 01:13 PM (5 months, 8 days ago)

I am fruiting my first two monotubs. I screwed up my coir calculations, so had to sub in some vermiculite on one of the tubs. I followed the tech found on this site that said to put 5 holes on the top of the short sides of the tubs, and 3 holes across the long sides. I opened up the holes once it seemed to be fully colonized, and everything was looking good, but now I seem to be just getting balls instead of actual mushrooms. Any idea what I might have done wrong? This was a PE strain if that matters.

maybe wet bubble? what kind of shrooms are they, some mushroom types produce blobs but these look suspicious, others may have definitive ID :amanita2:

From what I've seen over plenty of reading and images, my suspicion is also wet bubble or mycogone. Don't want to deflate you, but it does look odd in comparison to healthy mycelium.

It does matter that it is PE. They have a tendency to grow mutant blobs. They grow slow. Let them grow a little while and harvest them. Still potent fungi, just not agaric mushrooms.

Check out Beef's Punisher Tek.

I would do that and then add a 1/2 - 1" top layer for your second flush.
