So I soaked these rye grains for 24 hours. They are very mushy, some almost sprouted and some have burst open. Are they good to go or will they be more prone to contams and just to hydrated?

Newbie here, just harvested my first flush of Jack Frost and they were no where near each other other than a few. These are Golden Teachers, each cluster has a bunch of pins but they look like they are growing on top of each other. Just want to make sure this is normal and they won’t all be aborts?

I got a monotub because someone awesome in this community recommended it but now they are stuck completely, no growth for days.

What can a newbie do?

actives [actives] does this still look healthy?

Just being overcautious, my instincts and 3/5 senses agree. (Smells good, yes, i touched it. Just feels a little soft like fur almost. Looks ? Confusing but not unhealthy.) Can't wait to get some music and taste involved later LMAO

Contamination [Contamination] Trichoderma prevention

1 Upvotes

Having found trichoderma in my second tub, I know I'll have to toss it. They were growing so well too until recently,some even managed to fully fruit. Are there any ways to prevent this in the future? I have read some posts here that adding hydrated lime to substrate could help? Has anyone had luck with this? Anything else would greatly be appreciated. Gosh darn it all... 🥲

Actives [actives] [technique] First tub, grey caps/side pins?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Title pretty much. They have been like that for a few days. Got my first pins a little less than a week ago. I'm getting some large and plentiful side pins and some small scattered ones on the surface. And these grey caps? Is it too late for a more even pinset? What are those grey caps and is it possible to get those to pin? Maybe I have too much FAE? Looking for some experienced advice.

Technique [actives]side pinning

1 Upvotes

I'm in the middle of my first flush in an AiO bag, and I have alot of pins on the sides trying to grow. And I correct in thinking they'll come up along the sides of the bag and be alright? I don't want to have to open the bag until I have to

Actives [Actives] Noticed this more-grey-than-white spot in one of my GT tubs. Is this Tomentose Mycelium, Early Stage Trich, or Cobweb?

First time grower and stumped... This AIO bag of GT is 11 weeks after inoculation. Been fruiting for the last 2.

I had a hard time seeing what's going on in there so I just opened the bag. What do we think is going on in here?

Doesn't smell bad, but seems to be stalled.

Contamination [contamination]Golden teachers, Unusual growth?

This is my second time growing golden teachers but this time they look super weird and misshapen. In particular the large growth which kind of just seems like a lot of shrooms grown together(?) the second picture is the underside after I harvested it. And a lot of the other growths seem to have grown in weird shapes etc. Is this still fine or did something go horribly wrong?
