thanks ajaxx for the quick response sorry some more questions how do you sterilize your jars? do you put the polyfil along with the tinfoil in the pc? once you're ready to noc the jars do you push the needle through the polyfil? if so does shaking effect it? or once you put it through what if a piece of polyfil goes into the grain isnt that bad? sorry for all the questions thanks again

no problem happy to answer questions.
first off when you put polyfil in the holes of your jars, dont put too much in there. i did that once and i couldnt get the needle in, and when i did, nothing really grew.
i put polyfil in the holes, put the lid on the jars, covered the jars with a couple layers of the thick tin foil, then PCd for 60 minutes at 15 psi. then let cool for a few hours or overnight, depending on how many jars i have to do...
when im ready to inoculate, i get into my "clean room" and knock them up. it took a while, but i did everything by the book, and as you can see, that paid off with me only losing 2 of 65 jars. i wiped down the needles with alcohol, and flame sterilized before and after every inoculation.
i wouldnt shake until colonized about 20-30%. the polyfil is sterile and no bacteria or mold will germinate on it. its ok if some of it gets caught in your mycelium. of course i avoid it, but it happens.

Wow! I'd give you 5 shrooms if I could rate yet. Inspirational. I'm just starting out but this gives me hope for future grows. Keep it up!

thanks ajaxx so im guessing you only one hole in each jar? the hole is 1/4? do you have any holes for gas exchange? also what was your incubation method?

yes just one hole in each jar. the polyfil allows for gas exchange while keeping contaminants out.
some people on here say you dont need an incubation chamber, but i like using one just so can keep the temperature constant. i take 2 of the exact same tubs. put bricks in the corners of the bottom tub, put an aquarium heater in the middle of the tub, and put a bunch of water in it. set the aquarium pump to 80 degrees. put the other tub in the one with water, and it will sink down a bit and the water will rise around the outside if the tub with the jars.

the heater was a little over 30 bucks. you can probably find one in the 20 range, but make sure to get one with an adjustable thermostat.

exactly. it was simple. hit the jars on the ground once or twice and they dumped right out.

sorry to hear about that ive always had a feeling that a greenhouse/martha is too much money to make it worth it. monotubs are so simple and bulk. you just sit back and watch. dont have to worry about humidity or anything 
im sure we'll both have successful grows

today at day 6/7 of fruiting, most of, if not all of my tubs have primordia forming. things are starting to look good. everything is coming along right on time. didnt have a camera to take any pictures. nothing too exciting, but im guessing that ill have some pin porn to share in a few days.

We need to see the pin-sea!
Great grow log you have. I'm doing almost the same grow tek, but just in a bit smaller scale 
Didn't notice in the thread but do you skip the 12-24 soak of grains at the beginning? And why did you decide to take the trash bags off the tubs? cheers

i soaked the rye for 12-24 hours.
i took the tubs out of the bags after reading what other people have to say about it. it makes sense that they need to breath and having a bag over the tubs would definitely prevent that.

ive got pins in almost all of my tubs! not a lot, but things are starting to pop up. and this is just overnight. i dont have any pictures right now, ill try to get some but my camera has been kind of weird lately.
i think i saw pins in all the tubs except 3. i have a good feeling that this week is going to be action packed with mushrooms growing. all this hard work is starting to pay off. my tallest pin is probably 3/4 to 1"
