Hello everybody, I've been researching this site and have found much valuable information. Wish I had of found it before I bought a 260$ kit, which is basically just 2 vented sterilite tubs with a humidification system. I cased 5 lbs of rye spawn in 2 seperate tubs, with vermiculite and a coco coir growth booster. I was just wondering if this is how the casing should look, its been 14 days. There is a white fuzz all over the casing which is multiplying quickly, It does not look like cobweb mold from what I understand is greyish. Any help would be much appreciated.

Pictures always help.....
To cut down on contams on the casing layer bump up the FAE
Also if you have any suspicion it may by cob fill a spray bottle with distilled H2O and add a few caps of peroxide in. It kills cob but will not hurt your casing...

I have 2 pics, not quite sure how to put them on here. They are jpeg files. The humidification system, contains hydrogen peroxide, so I guess that may help. If someone could tell me how to upload the pics I could do so. Thank you

That looks fine. If it's a contamination, it will usually grow much faster then the surrounding mycelium; a good indicator.
Ideally, after you case your sub you should return your new case to incubation/colonization conditions, to better allow the mycelium to grab hold of the casing. Then after a couple of days, patch your casing, and introduce to fruiting conditions (i.e. 12/12 light, FAE, and high RH.) This will help you get a better and more even pinset.
Your casing will be fine, though. Try reading "A Pinning Strategy." There's lots of good stuff there.

Hey guys, just noticed in one of the tubs, quite a bit of thick pins coming up, the other tub has a couple, but also noticed a little tiny bit of green mold. Im going to start the battle on the mold, and I guess I should just keep on with the same conditions, since I have pinning?
