Take the sponsor name out of your post, Those spores are supposed to be for microscopy use only . Best of luck though.

No worries You can always write a good review of them in the sponsors forum if you want, just can't mention using them to cultivate.

damn..my mono is goin slow as hell..but I expected that...I used the bucket tek..a lil more verm but I hope it wont hurt it..i only used 4 pints of colonized wbs...theres places where its popping through the top really good just in little patches..i hope it doesn't take long enough for bacterica or mold to take over..its sterile and completely air tight...so if any mold was in it woulda popped its nasty shit up...but damn I shoulda used the lasagna layer tek..add some sub the then a layer of wbs, a layer of sub the a layer of wbs...I did that last time and it colonized fast but when I started to fruit I let to much moisture out and it started to get bacteria!! this is gonna take a while for it to completely colonize!! im patient though...bout to start some golden teachers!!! by the way if it matters these are AA+ heard good things about them and I think theyre beautiful..inside and out!! 
peace, ricy!!

Man you are not using no where near enough spawn. Between that and the bucket tek I don't have a lot of confidence in a good outcome. The bucket tek can work but you really need a high spawn ratio. You could have took them 4 pints and turn them into 40 to 60 pints doing g2g transfers. They would have been colonized in about a week and you would probably be fruiting a fully colonized tub right now. Patience is key my friend. Do it right or you throw a lot of hard work down the drain

Did you use the entire brick of coir for that? An entire brick of coir when fully hydrated is usally around 6-8 quarts. Considering you used 4 pints of spawn (2 quarts) you are at approximately a 1:4 ratio of spawn to bulk substrate.

His op sais he used a brick of coir and a little more verm than the bucket tek calls for and it calls for 2 qts. So it's probably more like 1:5 or 1:6

Ricky you really need to be doing no less than 1:2 imo. I always use 6 qts with great results

OP next time soak your colonized grains before spawning if you don't all ready. I'm confident that had you soaked your grains your tub would be significantly more colonized. I just noticed that it appears that you have no holes in your monotub, is this correct?
