Those don't seem like tall enough tubs for a monotub. You will have to take the lids off and move them into a fruiting chamber. Unless your sub is just super deep and it's playing tricks on my eyes.

DampMushroom said: While I wait for a bunch of cakes to colonize I attempted to mess around with some tubs. I rehydrated a quart of corn spawn from January and mixed it into a coco brick and some gypsum. The sub is about 2" thick and uncased, spawned about 2 weeks ago.
Here is one that I'm waiting for 100% colonization till I drill polyfill holes:
The other one got drilled and loosely stuffed at 75% colonization just to compare the pinset - plastic bits everywhere (newb mistake). Just saw knots in it tonight but nothing impressive:
Got a side pin going that should be growing into the air soon:

If the tubs have not been fully colonized or at least close to full colonization at day 14, something is wrong. Probably contamed.
Also, never add pollyfill until the substrate is 100% colonized and ready for fruiting conditions.

Looks like you'll get some outa these. What is the distance from the substrate to the top of the tub?
Also since you have some uncolonized substrate there keeping it as clean as possible is a good idea.

DampMushroom said: What a wimpy harvest

Need to make the polyfill tighter mabye? My lids don't seem to close shut and it might be not humid enough? I'm sure the 2nd flush will be awesome after it colonizes completely.
A wimpy harvest because it was not fully colonized before introducing to fruiting conditions. It won't colonize anymore, that phase is over.

Side pins are some tough stuff. Cheers 
the problem here is that the mycelium didn't colonize the substrate 100% and the mycelium network wasn't well developed to support a proper flush

next time wait till the whole thing becomes one white block( i know coir won't be snow white) but wait till it colonizes hundred percent, u pretty much wasted ur time and energy there

When I opened this I thought
"Someone must've bumped a 10 year old thread, because nobody could possibly do this nowadays"
But it's not. Dude, use the search function. Holy smokes those look bad.

That doesn't help :/,
OP, Aero is giving you great advice. In the future you're going to need a lot more fresh air exchange as well

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/4578484 decent advice for gnat prevention here. Just searched gnat prevention.
Unfortunately if you have a huge demand basiclly wasting a whole tub by being impatient seems to be counter productive IMO. If left to colonize fully and provided proper FAE your yield would be way, way, wayyyy better. If everything is done properly and yield increased demand should be easier to be kept up with economically speaking, I wouldn't know however I just give my excess to all my peeps and keep what I want, I just love growing these fuckers for free tripping. AERO's advice was spot on.
In any case good luck with the gnats, they get crazy here in the summer due to all the pot plants my roomie has going in the spare room. All his excess dirt tubs provide the perfect breeding ground for them, lately vie just been completely sealing in my shrroms room door with a drop cloth and have fly paper hanging. Hasn't been much of an issue yet this grow.

They have had what they love most taken from them, be it freedom, love, money, or anything for that matter. When you lose your greatest love you also lose your greatest fear, when that happens you are completely and utterly free.

That needs more FAE and full colonization in the future. I don't think your spawn was clean.

When he goes for a second flush I'd bet my left nut whatever is inside that sub shows its ugly face.

use a liner and just pull the sub out of the tub by holding onto the liner!

In my opinion you should continue to learn how to become an expert in mono-tub grows. Just one properly cared for tub could yield you way more fruits than an SGFC full of cakes would.
