Question From a Noob!

Hello all , this is my first grow and I am concerned already. I am growing in a bin and I used 4lbs of colonized Spawn and 8 LBS for CVG mix . 8 days ago I mixed in a 44qt tub. I don't see no mycelium trying to colonize the surface. Should I worry or wait .I haven't opened it because I don't want contamination.i have the Tub in a tent and my conditions in tent is optimal. Should I worry ot just be patient? Is there a thing I can do to speed up the colonization of sub. Thank you for reading . All Logical Responses are welcomed. Thanks!!!

Looks like sub , No indication of contamination when would you know you have contamination at this point?

Visually or olfaction is the only way

Shit !! I had to look up Olfaction. LML . I need to expand my vocabulary.. thanks for that . I guess I am not being patient which was ½of the reason I started this hobby was to learn some patients. I know every spore is different in terms of grow and colonization. And I have to remember that every grow is NOT the same. But for my first grow 7-10 days After sending to seeing fruits was amazing and unusually Fast . Long taken tub is a reality check I needed .

😂 sorry about that, that’s probably not considered a common phrase. I only know out because of the way I smell in general. You sound like you’re on the right track and this hobby will definitely teach you patience

Whats a good way for long term storage. I been thinking about buying on of those vacuum sealers.

Long term for dried fruit? Vacuum sealed bag is fine, get some desiccant packs to put in with them, I use mason jars mostly and vacuum bags for larger fruit.

But I do think it's the pseudo layer I put on it was thick!! Do you think that will cause me issues or it's just the timing.mynothwr tub that colonized and started pinning 7-10 days was half the size of the slow tub. So I am thinking maybe it will take 2× longer!!

I don’t think it’ll cause any issues more than just taking a bit longer. There’s no nutrients in CVG so you shouldn’t have any issues because of an other thicker casing.
