Now four days later there is still no pinning. I noticed a yellow coloration (not so visible on the picture). It somehow looked suspicious to me so i checked the smell, and it doesn't smell good anymore but a bit funky. Should I toss and start over again or still wait? What could have been wrong? low temperatures? Misting the surface too much? Not enough FAE?

This was cased with 100% peat and a bit CACO3. It's totally eating up the casing?
Unmodified Mono-Tub, temps are a bit low (65-68F), and Strain is Jambo.
What would you suggest? Recase?

Just Jambo doing it's thing, the fruits will push through it

Hmm, 4 days ain't that long. Does it smell really bad? What is your setup for the tray?

shroboo said:

yes, quiet bad, like sour, rotting compost, maybe bacterial. The color was grayish/yellowish at the surface. The setup was a unmodified monotub with a 5mm gap at the cover with modeling clay, like one of the setups baba yaga was posting.
I decided to scrape the whole surface of, it was easy to do, like a mycelium mat. Underneath the smell is still nice fruity as it should be.

Next time, should i care for FAE at all until pins appear? Maybe just leave the cover like in a cube shoebox, no misting, no extra fae, nothing?

---

Well shit, this is a little above my pay grade here so I hope others can give some additional advice. I find it weird that the bad smell only came from the overlay, but if it looks and smells okay and you don't need the tub for other projects, give it a new casing, mist and let it ride.

For future grows I know tree frog has been waiting for pins before introduce fruiting conditions, after casing she leaves the tray lid on loose until pins appear, could be worth testing that.


Sorry for not being able to help more.

Hows this looking?

The two on right right have half the amount of spawn as the ones on the left. The top left and bottom right I made sure the spawn was under the surface.



Now I gotta make the casing, good luck to me 

---

Made the casing as thin as I could, pressing down as little as possible. How wet should it be?

A clean cyan tray smells like spooge.

Yeah pans are pretty special. So far my fav have been bispo. Ttbvi are ridiculously potent but I didn't like their dark energy.
Could be I took them in the wrong set and setting. They kinda scare me though 😂
