Stalled (?) ART
Hello everyone, I've been having great success creating spawn from LC to both RGS and Millet. I've had a few failed attempts so far after the spawn to bulk stage and Id really like some input. This particular substrate is in 1:1:.01 Coco/ Dung / Gypsum (PC for 2hrs in bags). Mix is roughly 3:1 with 3.285lb spawn to 10lb substrate in a "Boomr Bin" from North Spore. I colonized for exactly 3 weeks at about 75f and at that point it seemed almost to stall so i went ahead and put it into fruit. I'd say colonization was at about 60-70%. I'm on 12/12 light and I remove the lid daily for FAE and all the openings have been replaced with filters.
This is at one week of fruiting and I'm just not sure I'm on the right track. I feel I'm not differentiating between mycelium growth and whispy molds.
I don't want to throw this away if it's just a matter of waiting.
thank you so much.

Just wanted to add that the black spots are substrate.

Hello!
I've checked your cake and fortunately, I don't see any signs of mold. So don't worry about it
The only questionable area is here - a tiny circle in the top left corner (see the red circle in the attached photo)
Could you pls take a photo closer? I need to double check it to make sure it's healthy.
And show me pls your fruiting chamber

It's fine from that angle, but... I still can't see the texture of that small patch in details :-(
I need a close photo of the exact circle (perpendicularly) or like this photo example
What should you do next?
-
FAE - yes!
-
Skip misting at all for the next 4 days! Don't mist the tub unless the walls are almost dry. Avoid misting on mycelium, mist the walls only!
-
Show me your cake and tub in 3-4 days. I'll check it again. Okay?
That's it!
Oh, and ofc, it needs some time and your patience ;-)
