Thanks you everybody for the compliments, Totally appreciated!! Ya'll the SHIT!!

Dry weights are in.................

Blue Tub - 3 inches of Substrate = 5.25 ounces
Pink Tub - 6 inches of Substrate = 5.50 ounces

Oh yea!!!!

My goal for these tubs was 8 ounces or 4 O's a tub which I knew was possible, but in my head I was shooting for 6 ounces total, so I am more than happy to say the least!!

The pink tub didnt have as many boomers but they were bigger on average which put it over the top with 5.5 o's.

Blue Tub - 6 1/2 days since dunk

Very nice Tex. Thats a bigger yeild than Ive ever had. Getting ready for round 2, cant wait for the pics. Have you done anything with the prints I sent you yet? Keep the boomers coming!

[tex]

Thanks guys!

Mushhut, I have not done anything with the print but I am going to be making up some syringes soon, so they very well may get used. Thanks again!!

My pink tub finally got a 4 hour dunk yesterday after being picked clean this past friday. It is knotting up nicely......

Blue Tub - 9 Days since Dunk

[mushhut]

Looking good tex. Your getting some nice big guyes there. I see that the yeild isnt as big as the last flush but they are bigger that the last flush. Good work.

[tex]

Yep, the 2nd flush on the Blue tub wasn't quite as big, but still very nice!
4 dried O's off the 2nd Flush - Blue Tub

The Pink Tub is coming along slowly but nicely after its dunk last week.

Its the second flush coming in on that pink tub, with 6inches of sub. My big problem is that I dunked it a week and 1/2 ago and hardly anything growth has happened since. I had to wait a couple days after I harvested its first flush before I gave it a dunk and when I did dunk their were tiny hyphal knots but I just dunked it for 2 hours and I have always read its ok to dunk with small pins and these were just knots not even pins. Since then its just tiny pins but they are not growing? Just stalled out it seems for the most part! I see no signs of contamination or smells. Humidity and FAE hasnt changed. Any ideas? Im at a loss! I have some pics here and you can compare them to 3 days ago pics and there really isnt any change. While the blue tub is half way thru with its 3rd flush....

Pink Tub - 11 days since dunking




Blue Tub - 3rd flush coming in - Didnt get dunked this flush but I should have!

the dunk may have been too much, water-logging
which can grow bacteria esp. down under
might flip it out into a fresh tray rinse off
then let it go with no added water,
might shake this off eventualy

its ok to dunk with primordia but you want it completely submerged. how long of a dunk was it?

if you see some pins that have wet looking blotches. its most likely wetspot bacteria. just pick them at the base and remove em. if its turning into mush and has hit your substrate. you may want to go the route of isolating it and cutting that piece off. its mostly effecting the fruitbodies. so as long as your remove the fruit and the casing about 1.5-2" around it you should be fine. your other pins should be fine. they look healthy. the 2nd picture bottom left i see 3 fat pins that have it on them.

usually if i have pins on a casing that are partly mature and then dunk. i only dunk for 4 hours. not more than that. i can see in the close up picture with all the pins. a few pins to the bottom left have that mush im talking about. its some wetspot bacteria. it does happen. and it may be that your tub is not getting enough fae along with the moisture increase in the environment from your dunk. so try wiping the edges. lowing your rh. even upping your fae a little bit. usually if you get contams from a dunk. its around this time. if your chamber looks super covered in condensation. lower the amount if you can wiping with clean paper towels.

also remove the bacteria, or any fruits that have it. don't touch or spread it. just isolate it. its not bad and won't spread unless you accidentally touch it on something else. get a fork or a knife to do surgery. the rest of your pins will be fine that look healthy.

you may also see some spots that are discoloration and slimy looking. wetspot. sometimes it can kill your entire fruit. don't let anyone eat anything with it on there. not good.

sometimes a flush may stall out. if this is the case. and the pins start getting water logged or damp. they will feel spongy wet. probably a good sign you dunked maybe too long and time to toss the substrate and start over. give it a few more days and see what happens before tossing it. if you can't wait and want to make room for more, do it. don't wait for 3 fruits to take forever to mature. when you can have a fresh flush coming sooner.

[tex]

The dunk was right at 4 hours. There were knots when I dunked it and sprayed it down ith the showerhead. Since then plenty of tiny pins have popped up allover but they really havent grown at all since then 10 days!!

Not sure what todo?

[eatyualive]

RIP. sometimes you have to put em down. can't win em all.

[tex]

Sucks, that tub has pins and knots all over it and it is by no means dry. But I just checked it and there has been no growth. So I only got 1 flush out of it! At least it was big at 5.5 dry O's.

Heres the Blue Tub on the 3rd Flush, with no dunk, about to start breaking veils in the next 12-24.

[mydarling]

try giving it a scrape all over the top surface before you give up on it. i always scrape and dunk immediately after a harvest which helps to "reset" the substrate and prep it for another flush. you say your substrate is pretty moist, so i wouldn't say there's a need to dunk it again... but try scraping it. use an IPA-swabbed fork gently on the surface, and pick any pins or large knots that have stalled out, give it a few more days and see if anything happens.

[eatyualive]

looks like your starting to get some lighter coloratioin on those. if you get later flushes than this watch for albinos and clone if you can.

[tex]

Thanks MD and Eats! Hope everybody has had a good weekend!!

I always appreciate advice and comments bufrom everybody but especially from knowing people like yourselves!! Gonna go ahead with MD's advise and just pick all the stalled little ones cause they havent grown at all in days. And then give it a gentle scrape. It cant get any worse so what the hell!!!

Guess its time to start making new BRF jars (actually past time) for my next multiple tub setup and I will probably enlarge my area.....And may even possibly step up to Pressure cookers , we shall see.....

Have a good one guys and gals!! I truly mean it!

great suggestion.

3rd Flush with no dunk

[reuv]

Excellent idea on the strainer bag. I want to try that as well. Where did you pick it up, Home Depot? (this is reference to your method of preparation).

[mydarling]

so tex, how did that scrape go? anything happening on the tub yet???

[eatyualive]

hell yeah

[tex]

Thanks Eats!!

Strainer bags from any hardware store, home de pot etc..........

I did do the scrape but havent seen anything yet......

Before


After


Gotta love Argentina

[mydarling]

i hope that tub shows something in a few days. hate the thought of losing a perfectly good tub after 1 flush, especially considering how much work those things are to make.

btw, nice harvest on that other tub! big meaty fruits!!

Its showing knots and tiny pins, so hopefully they wont just stall out like before. I do believe it didnt need that dunk after the first flush and the 4 hour dunk water logged it like hip said. Oh well, im leavin town for 7 days so we shall see when I return.

You win some, you lose some....

[OZZZ]

Nice! Good job!

[copelandiaKidd]

awesome haul brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

that’s making me hungry for another bulk grow. wicked grow bro.

also stacking another bin on top of that lid makes the water droplets not accumulate aon the lid for some reason. scientifically i can't explain why but it probably has something to do with electrons lol...

looks great so far.

Listen to him hehe
The other bin probably will be at the same temperature, so the water will not condense. The condensation occurs because the water in the air touches the walls, wich is at a low temperature, so the vapour turns liquid again...if the walls are at the same temperature, it doesn´t happen ^^


Nice flushes dude, nice big ones
I have a tub going here, and I´m a little afraid about dunk it, because the subs isn´t too packed, let´s see, let´s see...

Congratz!
