Made a huge mistake (forgot trashbag liner)

Alright, so a few months ago, my first two monotubs went great, no problems at all. I had a few extra jars of colonized WBS in the fridge, so I decided to do a few more recently. Pasteurized sub, mixed in spawn, taped up the holes, let it colonize, and then put into fruiting... Sadly, I forgot one of the most important steps, the trashbag liner. Oh, and to make it worse, I have another tub going without a liner as well... Once these pins mature, how on earth should I harvest them?

you should be able to just tip the tub and the colonized block will fall out...should stay together while you harvest the sides and bottom....

shit works great for me. side pins are a bitch and ugly as hell, but damn I got a bunch that were huuuge...
just take care to be as gentle as you can, and obviously you gotta pick the whole top of the tub as you're gonna crush anything on the surface

What stops the pins from growing on the sides? I guess the trashbags deflect light, I would say but thats just a guess.

the bags stop fresh air from getting to the sides and bottom....when the substrate contracts it sucks the trash bag liner against it....

Good reason, Also for good disposing of the substrate after the last flush or a contam.

if the weather is right you should bury your spent substrate....be surprised how much you can get outside from spent tubs....

The cap flattening isn't a horrible thing anyway.

those are some fatties, the only thing that sucks about not using a liner, is sub shrinkage then condensation running down tub walls and creating perfect micro climate for A MILLION SIDE PINS that fucking suck to harvest

http:// when I get lots of side pins I just pop my sub out of it's tub and fruit it like a cake. its those fucking bottom pins that piss me off. I don't recommend this if RH is an issue for you as the sub will dry out more quickly.

I am getting ready to do my first monotub. I was wondering I have got black plastic tub. Would it be better to use it or a clear tub with a liner or would it not make a difference?
