PE MONTO TUB

Well here's my second go on a PE montotub. Following Azur's advice (BIG UP MAN). This has been colonizing for 18 days? Anyhooo... 5quarts wbs, verm/hpoo and gypsum. Have some jiffy mix to do the casing layer once this is done colonizing.
 After my first super contam (which may have been spawn infection or poor pasteurization.) I won't even open the lid to peek. Here are the best pics I could take from top and bottom. That space on the bottom is the last to colonize. Hoping it'll be ready to case this weekend.

You gotta open it,
Can't see anything . That doesn't look good, you're sure it's not just uncolonized hpoo?

That spot is uncolonized hpoo. I have two pics taken days before the one you're looking at. It is shrinking up.

Looks good - definitely use a liner next time though!

I didn't use a liner because azur doesn't. just trying to follow success.

Azur doesn't because he's a fucking boss,
It's unlikely you'll have the same results but we'll see!

Does Azur not use a liner to aid in seeing how the myc takes over the tub, or is it just a preference? are side pins not a worry?

'Cause he's lazy and has like 20+ tubs going (Not really but a high number).
Side pins don't matter at that point.

liners are awesome when harvest day comes! and if you want your shrooms to grow on top of and not under your sub

we'll see. maybe the casing layer aids in minimizing side pins. I did a liner once and still got crazy side pins and bottom so why not trt without?

You may not have made the liner correctly then. I did five tubs earlier, one without a liner just to see.
Side and bottom pins like a MOTHERfucker.

well this is day 19 colonization. would you all wait for it to close or go ahead and do casing? I mean everything else is done and you'd never know that spot was there if you used a liner...right?

ok. now that spot is divided in half due to myc growing through the middle part of the void. the top is so so white guys. no hpoo at all showing. you think it's a go to case to 30% before fruiting now?

I'd case that, by the time it colonizes the casing to 30 it should have colonized that part too.

I agree. I don't want to let it linger too long and invite trich

I cased it Saturday around midnight. Keeping an eye on it for the 30% mark and into fruiting it goes.
I definitely would like to stress the importance of proper pasteurization (in jars on stove)when using hpoo. Granted this is only my second tub w hpoo/verm (first one was an epic failure by using bucket tek)but I'm extremely impressed thus far and I'm hopeful for a successful PE grow.
