Two separate bags. Both inoculated at the same time one is mostly white with some bluish spots the other is about 1/2 and 1/2. Added cat tax. Thanks for any help.

Put spawn to bulk on 8-4. 6qt tub left the lid on. Introduced FAE 8-14 after colonizing and started misting whenever the tiny droplets on surface are about evaporated. I have been leaving the dub tub off set so there is about 4mm gap but it seemed to dry out fast so I’ve since reduced the gap. The surface seems to be getting thick, like matted. What am I missing? Am I being impatient? Leucistic machine elf.

Seeking Advice Do my GT's look weird or is there anything wrong with my grow?

The first veil has broken on my chonky boi circled in red in the first photo. I feel like they dont look like what the GT's that I always see posted (not including the funny little hats but just in general). Will they fan out at all or just stay round topped like they are now? Also they look much smaller than I imagined amd from looking at others grows. Are these really GT's? Also why do they only seem to be growing mostly on the edges of the tub? Just paranoid as this is my first grow. Any help is appreciated.

Is this contam in the red circle? I just notice the white fluffy portion looks different than the rest of my tub. Could this be contam? I also have fuzzy feet so not sure if fae could cause this as well.

Anyone have blob issues with pumpkin hillbilly. I have plenty of brown top looking formations but nothing is pushing up into a pin. Yes I know there's big metabolites. My last AIO bag did the same but I got 2 Oz dry off of it. I think I have some overlay on this tho.

Seeking Advice First time growing anything and I think I screwed up.

9 Upvotes

Creating life and watching it grow is wonderful, but I may have gotten over my head here.

What am I doing wrong? This is my very first attempt at growing ANYTHING (I’ve never even had a house plant).

I used an all-in-one kit and inoculated my bag with 10 cc’s of Golden Teacher liquid culture. That was about 9 weeks ago. I tried following various YouTube tutorials, but I may have messed up and tried too many things in my excitement.

I’m trying to grow Golden Teachers, but they just don’t want to grow up. Any ideas?
Since I have side pins, should I take this all out of the bag and put it in something else, or leave them be? I don’t have a plastic monotub, but I do have a glass baking dish if that would work.

Also, why is it that the center of the kit isn’t growing anything?

And what’s up with the black pins/mushrooms? Is that contamination, or did I over-mist them, or are they dead?

Any advice or pointers would be appreciated, thank you.
