I doubt it's you're tub causing this, I think it's worth trying to clean those plates up using an Island, a Cabin. or Water agar

Degrees of contamination certainly vary between cultures. Most the time they can be separated with the aformentioned teks, or . Though once in awhile there's one thats a consistent problem, I'm not saying yours is like mine was, I'm just speaking from experience on a particularly dirty culture I had that lined up with the appearance of your situation.


Appreciate the insight, I will definitely be trying the cabin tek.  Just to be clear, have you seen the almost knot like stuff that is present on the sides before?  Would you think this is bacterial?

Idk if those are the droids you're looking for. The big pillowy masses next to the almost bare spots look very sus. Are you growing cubensis or a different sp?

:whathesaid:

I don't like the look of the grey mycelium next to the very thick and fluffy mycelium. My guess is the lighter grey mycelium is mold, and it's causing the growth pattern to look the way it does. You can keep it around to see if you get anything, but I wouldn't want that in my living space :sad: sorry to be the bearer of bad news

That's probably contamed. You see how the mycelium is forming a strict line around the fuzzy parts?

My pleasure! Happy to help man:hug::mushroom2: yes, and in my instance it turned out to be contamination of some sort. However, like mushluvr77 mentioned, let it grow, and see if they turn into pins and then mushrooms. If they don't, it's safe to say there is a contaminant present.

It's as though the mycelium wants to pin, but is being held back by the contaminate which is compromising its ability to fully grow.

I didn't have a microscope at the time and couldn't verify if it was bacteria or a mold of sorts that caused it

All depends on genetics and species, if the whole tub looked like either one of the kinds of growth present in your shoebox, and was all uniform and the same, I'd hesitate to say it was bad, but the fact that theres 2 distinct kinds of growth in there suggests that there's 2 different things growing.

A lot of people swear by grinding your own grain into flour for PF style cakes and pucks, and adding bran is also a very common practice. Grinding up your own fully hulled brown rice would probably be tit :rockon:

Exactly!

The grey is mycelium, just mold mycelium. Oysters are an example of a species that has a lighter hue when starting out. However it shouldn't look like that for cubes. Cube mycelium is always white and more organized looking. Anything grey and disorganized is mold. Some cultures are lighter than others on agar, however there's a cut off on the shade of white being seen. This tub is an excellent example of exactly what the appearance of mold is comparable to cube mycelium. As well how the presence of mold impacts the growth pattern expressed. You'll also notice that mold tends to grow much faster than mushroom mycelium which is another give away.

All a learning experience, thanks for sharing man, stick with it and never stop growing:rockon::mushroom2: every lesson learned makes you a better cultivator :hatsoff:

Light has nothing to do with it, however everything should be on a 12 hr on 12 hr off light schedule. No need to leave colonizing tubs in the dark. A standard 6500kish cfl or led bulb will work just fine

As posted before, I have two different strains in each bag.

GT that I used a 10ml spore syringe on and this is day 7 and I think it’s coming along nicely.



Second bag was PE that I think was a mycelium liquid culture and grew fast but thin on the plate. Used only 5ml on the bag and saw some white starting at the bottom on day 2 or 3, but never progressed anymore. I’m thinking because I only used 5ml?

Should I add more to the bag at this point or should I add some sterile water because it’s very dry in there.

i could get it partially removed so it looks like the BR from the store. but as far as i know the husk is what you want right so might be benifical.
i’ll give it a go

Sorry meant to say hulls not bran, and by fully hulled I meant like, with the hulls on :muppet: sorry I'm kinda baked lol

Plates and jars don't need to stay in the dark, though it won't hurt them. Same goes for colonizing tubs. However, for the sake of keeping all fruiting chambers in the same room, having the ones that are still colonizing in said room with lighting won't hurt them and is preferred because when they begin pinning, it will make for a much nicer harvest.:mushroom2:
