MONOTUB STYLE!
so i checked out some spawn today that ive been trying not to look at.. heres what it looks like! i have 5 jars that are gonna be ready at about the same time.. all of these are MS.. the dates are the inoculation day.. these ones are synocybins shroomery special! (unknown wild florida strain for us here at shroomery) THANKS MAN!!! 2/6
 these are koh samui 2/17
 the one on the left is malabar 2/17 next to the previous koh samui..
 these are the jars i plan on spawning all together.. (same time different tubs) i have one brick of coir.. and a bag of shit... and one tub..
its a ok so heres the tub today.. 3/29.. its got a super pinset! so stoked!!

I have a huge update!! i found out i must have mixed up my syringes to begin with somehow!! i was sure this was the koh samui tub but when i opened the other box i have i found this!!
 and heres my MALABAR harvest!! prolly a couple oz's i hope ill get the weight up when its all dry.. the tub before i started harvesting.. i picked them between yesterday and today as the veils started to tear.. and i let a few start dropping spores for some prints..
 the first shroom..
 more pics of harvest..
     so stoked! this was an enormous success for me!

get the verm IMO. verm/poo for one and coir/verm for another. gypsum is also a good bonus and should be cheap. 50# bag for 5$ at a farm supply retailer 
be sure to properly pasteurize the poo though. bucket tek should be fine for the coir/verm. also, colonization req's differ depending on if you are spawning to a standard mono or a hybrid. here's a link with some good info on all of this.
one brick of coir should expand to about 8 or 9 L of material. that's about a 4th of your tub pictured, which is about the size you want the entire substrate to be, so if you are adding 50% something else, you should cut it in 2 IMO. this would work well if you have 2 tubs of that size. good luck!!

thanks man! that got me thinkin.. i clicked the link on facey's help thread to docT's sg hybrid.. i might give one of those a go with my malabar spawn... i like the huge shrooms that came off mycofiles bulk neglect too.. and ive been looking at grows using that and they all look really meaty and nice.. im gonna try and experiment with this as much as i possibly can with all the different ways that look proven.. using my own brain to tweak as i feel it should be tweaked.. i have a HUGE sterlite tub thats like 30 gallons and im gonna try a few different methods on a small scale before i go ahead and spawn that beast.. id like to figure out a good method for me.. a couple more days and im gonna be ready to spawn all that grain! im exited.. so verm huh? i guess im gonna have to find me a bag of it.. i got drywall for gypsum if thats ok.. i have a roaster too i think... id just follow pinhead's tek if i get verm... seems like the smartest method to me right now...

I think they are the same, but you might wanna double check that elsewhere or hope someone chimes in.
prof P is trusted in my book 
keep us posted! 
edit: the thick n meaty shrooms you want, from what I've read, are usually a result of colder(68-72) fruiting temps. not sure why this happens...

edit: i would so eat that whole cluster of cyanescens right now!

I know it's hard to wait, but you probably want to give it 7 days AFTER all of those uncolonized spots are gone before fruiting for best results.

i just checked this just now.. i didnt expect it do be like this but its BOOMIN! dont talk trash about my box!! i have something in mind and im testing it!! i used about 4 qts sub and one qt spawn.. 7 days ago.. im testing this method its kinda like the oldschool mycofile bulk neglect.. only difference is im gonna go uncased.. im using a trash liner of course and a cut trash liner to go over the top of the sub during colonization.. it seems to have worked fine! heres the pix! oh and its malabar! the mycellium of this strain is very aggressive and beautiful!

u i have a question for anyone experienced..... so im still on my first grow with a mono tub. all of my mycelium in the tub almost seems to be knotting as soon as it appears through the top substrate. its on its 7th mabye 8th day of colinization. comparing it to other pics in threads other peoples mycelium seems to overlap itself while colinization. is the knotting ok or is there something im doing wrong? my sub them has been about 74 F with a 78 F air temp inside, and RH is between 90% and 95%. i just but a light over it yesterday and it seems to be colinizing a lot faster. anyone have any tips, commments, or suggestions? im working on getting a camera to take a pic should be up soon...

Seeing the way that is colonizing in your box brought up a question. I didn't see any holes in the top of the plastic for the substrate to get air...and this is ok? Surfing this forum, I was always under the impression that colonizing substrates need air (hence the holes drilled into monotubs, etc.). I have 3 very small containers colonizing at this moment. Instead of wrapping them tight in a layer of plastic wrap and poking holes in the top, I just stuck them inside a large ziploc bag and poked holes in the area of plastic above the substrate. There is condensation all over the top. Should I put them in bags without holes in them, or am I ok the way it is?

the bag is just draped over the top of the sub in the box.. it can still breath quite a bit actually.. i would not seal them inside a bag because this would kinda suffocate it.. it sounds to me like you are fine! too many holes could lead to pinning however you are probably ok! most people when making trays put foil over the top and poke holes in the foil to allow GE during colonization. im kinda trying to replicate mycofiles bulk neglect with that box which is here: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/610733#610733 ; i dont know how big your containers are but the key seems to be to allow GE during colonization and FAE during fruiting.. oh and heres a awesome thread from facey which could clear things up a bit for ya on the who FAE/GE thing http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/14043924/fpart/1/vc/1 ;
