Monotub - how long till Golden Teachers colonize?
      09/19/22 03:11 AM

This is my first attempt.
64 qt. monotub.
Spawn: Purchased 3 lb. rye berries spawn bag.
Substrate: 4" high 2/3 manure compost (Black Cow); 1/3 vermiculite; 1/2 lb. gypsum
Substrate was mixed with distilled water until tight squeeze dripped just a little (tested after pasteurization).
Substrate was pasteurized in oven @ 170° F for 2.25 hours (timed from after substrate reached 160° F).
Tub was filled in bathroom tub after liberal application of 70% alcohol all over shower, spawn bag and monotub.

6 2" holes in the monotub are taped with plastic packing tape.

The mycelium grew so that white mycelium was thick all over the bag.
I mixed it so the white pretty much disappeared, before opening it.
I added berries, substrate, berries, substrate, berries; mixed just a bit and then added about a 1/2" of substrate to the top over the berries.

I put the cover on the tub and have not taken it off since I did it.
That was 10 days ago.
The tub is in the light during the day.
The sides and top are covered with condensation. I can see through the edges.

I see just a little white colonization in 2 corners and it looks right to me (like a small web).
I still see nothing else; no sign of colonization.
I can't really take pics because of the condensation.

Is this normal? How long should I wait?
Is there anything else I can do to make the mycelium colonize?
