Thanks dude. I would suggest change the way you do the substrate and you'll be golden. After I mixed my hydrated lime and compost I mixed the wet vermiculite good than added the pasty cool coir. Than added water till it was field capacity. A little bit dryer than most I've seen. I had to squeeze hard to get drops of water.

Are the sides of your substrate covered with a bag or something? So as to prevent side and bottom pinning

Don't quote me on this but although light isn't a pinning trigger the mushrooms will grow toward the light. That's why we use the black bags. So they only grow on top

if this is the case i can put tape around the sides, but i thought it was the shrinking process due to the humidity. the bag shrinks with the substrate and is unable to grow due to pressure.

Yeah, thats right...

I actually did the grain dunk also for about 10-15 minutes. it may be slow bc the grain was inoculated w an old syringe. i have a different tub i made 3 days ago w a new syringe (and different strain) so i will compare the difference.

are you not keeping your tub from the light? have you had any good experience w this? i will be following your thread

That is true also if the sub is molded to the tub it can crack easy if moved, black bags help with the side pinning is all

I would. I've never done a monotub before but that's what I've gathered from my research. I could be wrong...but I don't think I am lol

yeah, i just taped it up now.

i actually looked for a black plastic sheet, but could only find the clear and the trash bags are a pain to deal with.
