What tek are you gonna use to prepare the bulk substrate?
What kind of bulk do you plan on using?

I'd suggest coir/verm/gypsum. Its pretty contam resistant. And when you follow franks tek on how to properly pasteurize your sub then you should be golden

I have no idea. I thought following those 2 Teks would be all I needed to do. What is a bulk substrate and which Tek do you suggest I follow?

Bulk substrate is what goes into the monotub, along with the grain spawn.
Coir/verm/manure/straw are all bulk substrate materials.
You mix in the grains with this material and let it colonize, then fruit it.
Sounds like you need to do more research.

Ohhh I see. I will follow Damien5050's Coir Tek (the link in your sig).
So I have 3 Teks to follow for my Monotub. Anything else I need to read up on?

Not really, just follow the teks, and do not add anything the teks do not call for.
Do not wrap the tub in a garbage bag to colonize, that is a useless step.

Doc34's WBS tek says to "incubate" at 80 (after inoculation). What does incubate mean? Can it just sit on a shelf like PF TEK BRF jars?

Yes sitting on a shelf is fine.

If you've ever seen any movie where scientists are in a lab, growing bacteria on little dishes (petri dishes) that are contained in a mini-fridge-looking thing, then you know what an incubator is. Incubating is essentially providing the proper climate to allow your mycelium to grow productively. Cheap incubators can be made that provide a good temperature for the mycelium to grow. Not a necessary thing to have though, just allows you to speed up colonization time.

Unless you live in a very cold area, just leave your grain jars at room temp on a shelf. If you put em in an incubator, they'll probably get too hot seeing as how it's spring now and starting to get warm.

In the Doc34's WBS Tek; it says I can use pint or quart jars. Which one is best to use?
IN the Damien5050's coir Tek, it says to use 5 quarts of spawn. So should just inoculate 5 quart jars to make it easy?

yeah qt jars hold more and are standard for grain spawn use. You can also use qt jars for bulk sub pasteurization.
I have a TON of qt just for this very reason

Very nice! I however wouldn't have much use for those as I would put 1 qt spawn to 1 bag. Hell I could get away with 1/2 pint jars if I wanted, but I fit 6 - 6-7LBS spawn bags in my 75x, and Would rather only have to do 2 loads of bags for 14 qt jars instead of 6+ loads for who knows how many 1/2 pints I could fit in a freakin 75x... I dunno I'm

Since I have 2 syringes of different strains, does this mean I should make 2 separate monotubs?
If so, each syringe is 10cc, which will give me 5 QT jars each.
The mono tub design tek I am following states this: "The tubs I use are 66 quarts. 16.8”L x 24”W x 13.1”H. They give me right around 3.5-4” of substrate depth @ 7-10 quarts of spawn. (I prefer slightly higher spawn ratios due to colonization time & flush results)"
This means I am 2 QTs short of 7.
What do I do?
