Remove the tape from the liner unless you want side pins when your substrate shrinks 
Also, it's the least amount of hassle to cut the liner down to size after you spawn to your substrate but you could still trim it now if you wanted to.

Yea, ive started doing this with my other tubs. Ill cut it down to size after the first flush.
So i have a question, When i shook my jars, there where ones that started coming back in 2 or 3 days but not in all spots. Is the fact that its growing back mean its good to go? or the spots its not starting contaimed? Been about 5 days. Cause i had 4 or 5 that just didnt do anything, those i knew where bad and i opened and it smelled horrible. So that was cool to weed those out.

If you shake at 100% colonization, it should recover evenly. Those spaces that are not, that's most likely bacteria, most certainly a contam.
If it doesn't recover completely after a day or two, toss it.
I'd step up your sterile technique man, you are having lots of issues. Get a better still air box, turn off all the fans and central air, work quickly and carefully.

Well, I know the issue is a result of a few things. I did a GLC and i believe it was cotaiminated. I noticed air bubbles coming from the side of the injection port when i was pulling some out, completely done with LC. It also didnt help that i did a horrible labeling job. So im sure i was G2G bad jars. Also my lids where not up to my standard as i had a friend help make them with me and he did not listen and we used usps tyvek. So i have SDF and plastic lids to do that 100% correct now. I also have agar now that im gonna start playing with tonight and working on getting some iso's. Ive knocked up a jar with the rest of my spores also to start from scratch and as a last ditch effort as it was my last spores.. Working on getting a collection of prints. Also planning on taking some clones from the one thats fruiting.
But hey im gaining experience so thats positive.
I have 3 tubs coming up that are on day 8 today and are looking like they will be ready to put to fruiting soon. But wont be surprised if it fails. Gonna go home and check the jars any that are not 100% im tossing. This run im gonna make sure to document everything and stay clean. i figure ill be happy in a month or two:)

3/18 About 5 days after shaking when they sat at about 98%. Im saying they are all trashable. They look bad, even worse when i look at it on the computer ha. Im gonna try and see if there are ANY that are 100% colonized without question when i get home today.
Also think that there was a lack of humidity or moisture in the tub which cause small fruits.( i think these are smaller then normal) Due to the dry air that was being pushed in. There also appears to be fuzzy feat..... ive misted about 3 times sense fruiting. never fanned.

Heres my first harvy from this tub. I think i got a good amount. They where smaller then last time. Im thinking that was due to it being dryer then normal. Ill have dry weight after i get a scale and dry em out. Thick dense fruits.

Soaked for 30 minutes and am now waiting for a second flush. I think im going to y off the air pump so that it gets 50% less air and see if it is any better.
Any opinions on the jars i put up pics of?
Also my two mino monos and one tub are at day 9 today. Looking like there about 97%. not gonna be surprised if i get a contaim. Seems like if on day 10 it has a spot or two left its gonna contaim.

3/25/2014 Second flush is coming in. Take pics later, its not looking to good ha.
Also i recently put into fruiting a 66 tub and two mini tubs. The bigger one shows signs of a contaim. Yellowing circles. So im not thinking itll make it. the mini's look good.
Going to start agar tonight. Probably wont update for a few weeks so i can make some progress, been really busy with my mountaineering class and the weather is getting nice so ive been out riding my new Ape. going to Start putting some iso's together and start over and fresh and CLEAN:)
As for the air pump. I really dont know what to think. I mean i got 4 zips from MS and working on a second. It seems that it just is to much Dry air. I think that there was good FAE but it was just dry FAE.

Just got my second flush. Will update with weight later tonight.
So far the mini's are looking good(day 3 of fruiting) I have 5 tubs that i just spawned to. 4 are like faht's tubs ( mix, save 2 qts for frost layer, then a casing layer) Just for the hell of it sense they will probably contaim anyways. Each jar i put in i made sure to smell twice or even 3 times while pouring out so maybe  So if i get anything it will be a plus. If not, i expected it.
Gonna end this thread after these 5 tubs and start a new one following my Agar and iso's to fruiting.
