Hi,
This is my first time trying monotube. My jars were fully colonized and my coco coir sterilized.
At first everything seems to be going well but I noticed that the ''mycelium'' had an unusual ''silver'' look. Is this normal or might be contaminated?
I have some fully colonized jars that I can't spawn right now as all my monotube are in use. I don't want to put more than one jar per monotube to minimize contamination risks.
Can I put some colonized jars in the fridge to stop them from fruit and then STB when I have some monotube available?
Thanks very mush you all
I am making my first monotube and I've got a couple of questions.
First, what is the black thing you guys put at the bottom to avoid side pins ?
And also is the crack on the second pic a problem?
Thanks you all.
Mush love
Hi everyone,
I'm doing one of my first grain to spawn technique (I usually do AIO bags). I am wondering if my grains can get contaminated when I put it in my sterilized coco coir.
I break and shake my fully colonized grains before putting it in the coco, but when I do the grains aren't fully white anymore, is this normal? Can this make it more likely to get contaminated? Would it be better to wait a few days after the break and shake?
Thank you
Hi everyone,
With the summer coming I'd like to try terere.
I've never tried it and would appreciate any tips or recipe.
Does it energized as well as hot yerba mate?
