Isn't that about the size of these?

If it is, they make really good PMP's:


That was a shabby MS strain. Better genes equal better results 
Anyhow, I've gotten such great results from PMPs. I now grow in mini greenhouses, but, they give equivalent results. So, I highly recommend them.
Can you make a sgfc from your 45 gallon monotub? Sure. But, you could just as easily make it into a luxurious Poor Man's Pod (hell, maybe even easier), and then your FAE is automated, and you only need to mist your casings once a day, or so.
If you use a sgfc, around where I come from, you won't be getting high enough gas exchange. Or, if you do, they'll be too dry, and your abortion rate'll go up.
Rig in an ultrasonic humidifier to your PMP, on a timer, and now you don't need to mist either. 
Hope that helps,
Facey

Heh those bricks of yours looks to be exactly what I'm using. This is the tub I have:

The picture makes it look not as long as it really is.
So yeah it's similar to yours although I think mine might be deeper. In fact I was thinking of making a little pvc rack eventually for it so that I can have a second story of bricks and pipe a cool mist into it. Maybe.
And I looked but I didn't see plans for a sg mono. Is it just a regular mono design with the sg holes?

There is no reason not to take those shroomies hehe. Theyll be fine, dont judge them just because theyre ugly!!
As for your monotub, mycelium is pretty resilient. If theres no contams then I cant see how dunking it and trying to fruit it could hurt anything, infact, it should be successful.
Hope this helps.
EDIT: How did your monotub fail though? The idea behind them is just leave it alone and collect your fruits at harvest time. If its drying out that means your holes are too big, try stuffing more polyfill in them or taping up some holes.

Updates as of a few minutes ago.




Man that big one must be bigger than I think because of how large it looks next to that 2 inch hole.
So, is there any way to pick the big one and leave the rest of the cluster, or should I give it time and let the spores drop while the rest of the cluster grows?

Ahh my first picked shroom. This one opened and wasn't in a cluster. Yum!

Hmm, any answer on the cluster question is appreciated also. I need to do something with them tomorrow.

My current wet weight = 568.4 grams. Here's some more pictures.
The remainder on the right brick.

My middle brick is starting to pin quite nicely.

And the fatty on the left brick.

And for those of you who care enough to read my post. I have 3 prints (my first) that I have ready. Who wants em? Post if you do, and then we can do everything via encrypted messaging. I'll a few more tomorrow to give away. And btw, I'm not sure which strain they are, either AC or Tx.
Oh, and can someone tell me if it is advisable to dunk that right brick? I have a couple of mushrooms I'm picking tomorrow so that would leave a few pins on it when I dunk. How long?
thanx!

Ok, nevermind on that print then, I didn't get a pm.
My final wet weight for the first flush on that right brick was 638.3 grams. Right now I have it dunking for like 3-4 hours.
Could someone please take a look at the picture below. Any idea if the huge pins on the middle brick look like they're aborting? If so, how do I stop it?
And for the left brick they don't seem to be growing either. Does it look too dry? If so should I dunk and can I keep the mushies on there when I do?

If you guys need better pics just ask.
