My 1st monotub/monobucket (PIX) - Australians

So a ways back I inoculated 12 qt jars of WBS with purported Australian Cubensis Multi-Spore.
Of the 12 quart jars, I spawned 8 of them to a 64qt/61L Sterilite Monotub, sub consisting of 8 quarts Coco Coir 1 quart spent coffee 1 quart Verm and half a cup of gypsum. Substrate depth ~4 inches.
The other 4 quart jars I spawned to 2 monobuckets based off Otto's thread, using the same sub mix as above and ~4 inch sub depth. Of the two monobuckets one got the green mold due to me peeking too much (removing the shower cap). :[
Fast forward to a few days ago, pics of the monotub:




Picture of some of the early mature fruits that I picked:

As of today there's a bunch of new pins that weren't present in the photo, and a lot more mature pins too. So far I have harvested ~3 oz's dry, and it looks like I'm going to collect another 1-2 oz before I dunk for the second flush. Not that great compared to some of the monotubs I have seen so far on here, but not bad for my first monotub either.
And now here's some pics of the monobucket:
EARLY:

MATURE:

The surviving bucket is looking great. I'm going to harvest those babies in a couple days.
For my 2nd flush I plan on casing both the monotub and monobucket with Miracle Grow potting mix/soil. I read in another thread that it works very well and I don't really see the point of making a peat moss mix when I could just use that.
As for why the pinset was uneven in the monotub...out of the 8 quarts spawn, I used 2 quarts as a "frosting layer", (putting it on top to completely cover the coir) don't know why they said to do that in that tek but I did it anyway. Unfortunately I didn't level it out right and it resulted in lots of hills and vallies. Also, I waited too long to fruit it, resulting in a few early pins maturing much faster than the others. Next time I will correct both these mistakes and hopefully get a more even pinset.
Also something interesting I noted, out of all the fruits in the monotub, maybe 70-80% were sporeless mushrooms! They look really cool as the gills are a bright yellow/gold color and they turn a light blue without you even touching them. This was kind of annoying however as I need some good prints.
I will update with total dry yield from the tub/bucket.
I think the grow turned out pretty good, let me know what you guys think.

If I dry out and store one of the sporeless shrooms, can I clone it later? I don't have the materials or the environment to do cloning atm unfortunately.

I do not think so.
Spores can dry out, and I have read of growers resuscitating sclerotia and getting them to grow, but typical cube fruits need to be cloned before they dry.
Good luck,

Wut he saidd^^ I think you can clone dry but you need agar petri's.

ive cloned several fruits using dry tissue on agar with no contams..its very simple too.. nice bucket, i did the same thing with a thailand strain, and had a very similar pinset.. keep it up!

No problem JD.. Yea, you just need to remove some dry tissue from the inside of a stem that hasnt been exposed..disect the stem with a sterile blade using a glovebox,use sterile tweezers to pull a little piece of the inner tissue, and drop it on the agar, as quickly as posssible..you might wanna do a couple of these,, if you dont have dishes, use 1/2 pint jars, they work well..

I did not realize this. What are the health hazards of inhaling P. cubensis spores? Learn something new every day
