This is a shoebox of McKennaii. I spawned G2B on 8/17. Never saw a tub act like this. What is exactly going on here?

i have seen something like that. back when we all got bamboozled into buying a "toque" culture.

my tubs all looked like that. the genetics literally fell apart and had a civil war. dog shit.
you can try to take a clone if you get the right pheno and then spore then clone then spore etc and all the kings horses and all the kings men...

you know how it goes

Yeah those white blobs are not what I was expecting and not a single pin. Plates and jars were clean. And the one blob is oozing water. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Is it normal for the sub to shrink quite a bit after the first flush? My first GT mono is looking almost ready to harvest (feedback would be great), and I was shocked to see the sub pull back an inch or so from the walls!! Going to hit this bad boy with beefs punisher tek after harvest I think. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Also, when you guys harvest, do you float the sub up on some water?

Nice, I hadn’t seen Alan’s post on gelllan before. That’s funny I like gellan for looking through the bottom too. I use a jewelers loupe when my plates are first germinating, makes spotting early contam easier than it would be with the naked eye. Also fun just looking at the leading edge on clean plates.

Can I run pans in the same tent as gourmets? I will be getting a smaller tent for exotics when my oldest moves out next month, but I have some pans and subtrops that will be ready a little before that. It’s running at 80-92% rh and 78f in the top rack.

hahah oh man i just saw this. lets just go ahead and get the disappointment out of the way here since i think youll be seeing more of me in the months to come

Not too far off from what I thought you'd look like! I would have thought you had a short beard. I was close. What do you think I look like? Spoiler, I do not have balls of steel. Mine are a couple of chicken cutlets smothered in a sherried cream sauce with shallots & tarragon.

I was wondering the same. Those don't seem like run of the mill blobs.

So I’m not happy with how one of the Monotubs is pinning.

Thinking of putting the smaller Monotub into a bigger tub and taking the lid off the small tub.

Should I put a smaller Monotub into bowl of water to help with the humidity content?

based on my relatively-extensive experience with mckennaii, I'd recommend you bury that in your back yard and get started on the next tub.

Fuuuuuuucccckkk!!’ I just read all about this. WTF. How could I even have this??? I think I’m just gonna get rid of this whole tote. If I could incinerate it I would. Dumping this thing in the trash, tote and all.

Thanks all you guys for your answers. Good looking out!

Fellas, one more question about this flush. Feeling stoked about this beautiful forest of fungi, but I’m not sure about harvesting them. Lots of veils are breaking/partially open, but there are still clusters of more immature ones as well. Should I just wait for all to fully mature, or go ahead and get harvesting soon? :rockon:

:rockon:

Appreciate all the help!

Just a good washing is fine. No point wasting the tote.
