been a minute since i posted in here so here we go.
first flush monotub PE (camera phone pic)
 5qts spawn 1 brick coir 2qts cow manure 2qts verm
all 'pasturized' in place (in the monotub itself) <-- i should really write up a tek for it
tried picking a over mature one and like 3 others came out with it (hence the gab in the center left)

That's some pretty dense looking growth. Nice job!

slapphappypill -- a quick write up on that tek
duct tape all the holes
throw in ingredients (i mix verm and manure together fairly well when dry)
bring water (~1.25 gal -- little less i thinkg) to roaring boil
dump in. focusing your pour on the block of coir put on lid
swish tub around to get the verm/manure wet
wait 20 min
come back -- coir should be pretty well expanded by now if coir is thoroughly hydrated -- mix ingredients up with spoon and kind of compact it on the bottom if not -- come back in 10
let sit compacted for 45-1hr
come back and fluff up with spoon
let cool naturally
add spawn (setting some of the mix aside in a separate bowl as a covering) wipe down sides of tub with paper towel
remove 1 piece of the lower duct-taped hole and replace with polyfil
let colonize
success!
Ill make a formal tek sometime REAL soon (gotta find my camera)
ReprisalOfShrooms -- what were the parameters of your tub? It doesn't look that bad and i've noticed if one gets a poor first flush from PE they will usually get a better 2nd

i've heard this as well usually resulting in mutants but never had that problem thought it was my very first time. what is in my sig is from a second flush but here is my first flush which some pics are missing but here are some.  this was from one 66 quart monotub and a bucket first flush. the ones in my sig are from the same tub but second flush and another bucket not mentioned. my grow log can be found here. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/14993622

just to start off this tub was better than average (probably why i posted it) but i do usually get around ~3-4oz dry first flush
perhaps it your spawn ratio or conditions?

So you pretty much use a "bucket tek" like damion does... and you don't have contam issues with the poo?
Do you ever use coffee in your sub?
Do you ever have any issues with contams? I do my spawning in open air in my room to bulk, with oust in the air, so i'm curious as to how fast contams could set in...

yeah i use an 'in situ' bucket tek.
i've gotten green before full colonization but i blame that on too wet of a substrate.
normally no coffee grounds because it's too much of a pain for me to dry stuff. but if i make a pot that morning i'll throw those in.
contam rate is pretty low.
i had some issues a little bit ago with contams but i blame that on dirty spawn (looked white but didn't colonize the sub -- bacteria is my bet)
I spawn in a similar fashion you do but don't even oust -- just wash my hands.
You want your sub to be fully colonized by ~14 day mark. after that it's getting risky pasteurization 'stunts' the growth of nasties

hmmmm ok, so I think i'll just keep using my buckets and try this once or twice to see how well it works for me. my substrate only rides about 2-3" high at most, so i'll just add some poo/coffee...
Wont be a coule mo before I try it again, but i'll let you know how it turns out brother! thanks!

mine still came out to around 3 to 4 oz and something like 6 oz or so with everything. they were pretty dense with multiple ones drying out to 5 grams and my biggest 7.4 the spawn was rye berries to coir substrate uncased 4 inch depth.

yeah, I see small mushies on coir, no bigger than 1 G dried, however I had some 8-10 gram dry fruits from 2.5" h-poo/verm substrate.
My H-poo is VERY high quality as it's aged 30 years inside an old horse barn 
it also has equally old straw/wood shavings mixed in as well, and turned out it works like magic!!!

back when i used just coir thats about what i would get too (3 jars spawn 1 brick coir)
yields slightly increased with some verm thrown in there
and increased fairly significantly with the addition of manure (like $1 for a 40lb bag!). maybe come summer time i'll do a verm manure trial (gonna be hard to get the consistency down) and see what that produces...
the chubby small-capped mushrooms in your tub pic make me wonder if they were getting adequate FAE but not all of them are like that.
still any amount is better than nothing!
keep on growing

that's awesome. i've been getting my substrate from a online vendor since my first attempt at the pc didn't result much but green. it was a cheap 30 dollar one so i'm waiting to get an all american one once i have the spare cash. i ordered coir the first time but now i'm trying out the hpoo since i hear it's the shit! they add all the extra stuff like gypsum and ph balance it etc...

i needed to dunk that tub and that's why i didn't get a good enough second flush. i know what i did wrong and it's been trial and error but that's what makes it fun, because when it finally works out its going to be amazing.

QFT
I started with the pf tek (no dunk or roll) around 5 years and worked my way up through trial and error ever since.
now i have a nice 23qt presto pc (my best investment for this hobby) and fancy lc lids i made myself just to name a few toys...
one question though

are you talking about spawn/substrate/or both? you don't need to pc substrates
