It wouldn't, but a tub that is taped up and closed would get the same amount of FAE, little to none, which makes the trash bag an unneeded step.
That is all I was getting at.

I did not realize that you stuffed your holes with polyfill for colonization....so my bad on that...guess I have to pay more attention to what I read....I have a tendency of just skimming thru some posts.
But dialing in your tub is not hard if you know what to look for.
The easiest way I can explain it is this, you want a ring of dryness around each hole.
If you can accomplish this, the tub is pretty much dialed in.
Frank's How to dial in your monotubs like a boss is pretty good at explaining what needs to be done.
Stuff the bottom holes as tight as you can, and the top holes as loose as you can, then fine tune the amount of polyfill in the top holes until this ring of dryness is achieved...it works for me....

This is after I've already chopped down the 5 early bloomers. They equaled a total of about 160g fresh.
So, would you all say the first flush is a success?

See a couple spots of contamination on a couple agar plates but there is plenty of healthy mycelium to transfer I guess it's agar work today

Uh some are at the middle of the side, some are at the bottom.. There are others closer to the edge of the top that go up so they're easy. It's the bottom/corner/side fruits i wana grab soon.

best thing i can think of would be to tilt your tub on its side to get at them... you gonna use a liner next time jack?

If you have a spare tub the same size, I would just insert it into the mono once the top is cleaned off and use it to tip the whole works upside down. Then carefully pull off the mono and all the mushies will be easy to get. Then when done just reassemble.

Well I spawned a couple tubs today and I had a 3 extra qts of spawn left over. I ran to the store real quick and bought a little 27 qt sterilite tub and made a mini mono. This will be my first mini mono. It should be fun! Oh yeah I also bought me a 1 3/4 inch hole saw today. I have always melted my holes in my tubs. I should have bought a hole saw a long time ago! It works great!
After I spawned my tubs today I was washing out my jars in the sink and every time I do that there is always a few colonized grains left in the jar that go down the drain. I wonder if I have any shrooms growing in my septic tank!

i have some pins that just couldn't wait! i cased at 100% colonization and patched at about 20-30%. the casing fully colonized in no time, and i started seeing knotting a couple days later, but there is a couple clusters that just had to bolt! looks like it's gonna be another stellar pinset, but i'm gonna have a couple monsters!
