new year, new grow

White cotton from the drainage hole? That doesn't sound too good. Got a picture?

These were the best I could get at the moment, soon as I saw all that stuff in there I tried cleaning it out with toothpicks and water. Read it could be either a cocoon or a fungus, but some look like coke and the others look like heroin (texture and color wise lol). Any thoughts?

[JTP]

Do you have your plants on a bed of coke and/or heroin? I can't really tell from the pictures, but it looks like mycelium (fungus, essentially the root system of mushrooms).

This stuff:

Sorry to hijack for a moment but is that your spawn bag JTP? You really should spawn that, although it might be too late, it's already pinned up like a mofo.

[JTP]

No, that's not my spawn bag. I'm fruiting in it, MycoBag. Decided I may as well try them out since it doesn't seem to have much information on it. It's a hell of a lot slower, so far.

The brown stuff is kowanite compost, not grain.

[Ikku]

Ah, I see. Threw me off that it was in a bag, I never heard of fruiting in a bag. You should cover the sides with duct tape or foil or something to keep the fruits from pinning on the sides, I notice at least one mushroom thats growing sideways against the bag. Good luck! Makes me want to grow shrooms again

[JTP]

Yeah, thanks for the tip. I was considering it but I didn't really know if it was a good idea. I'll tape up the sides tonight. There are quite a few side pins.
