Needs a shit ton more FAE.
Those drill holes on top are not cutting it.
Good work otherwise. I see a monster back there.

Nice fruits man.
And some people like to adjust their polyfill twice a day until proper FAE is reached.

Fresh air is exactly what the doc_t ordered, but you grew some medicine none the less. Nice serpentine fruits!
--------------------
I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

Nice end product man. I hope your not ripping them from the sub but rather cutting at the base?
Nevertheless please post trip report!!

If the "twist and pull" method is done correctly, then no harm is done to the sub. In this case, I don't think it matters, that sub looks spent.

It depends on the shrooms.
You have to grab one and try to twist and pull and if they give you resistance or leave a big crater that's when I get out the scissors. Most of my tubs I can just twist and pull.
Let the shrooms tell you.

IME the densely packed clusters are a bitch to get out without damaging the surface. I've only worked with MS, so I would just pick the mature ones as they come up.

You can still clone mushrooms that have dropped spores, take the tissue from inside the stem

I have a question i didn't want to open a new tread for it. but i bought this straw bale at hobby lobby i got it on sale for 10 so i said fuck it and got it. So does any else mess with straw that could give some pointers on it? I want to use some worm castings with it. I usually use coir,verm black kow and worm castings with oat grain water with good results.

Looks okay, does it say "wheat straw" on the side. That's the type that most growers use.

Nice looking tub there OP. They might have needed a touch more FAE but really I find AA+ get pretty damn lanky no matter how much FAE I blast at em. Cap size on the mature one tells me that overall you did damn good.
Next time you could either loosen the lower holes just a touch once the pinset is in or else if you plan to case a lot going forward, add another set of holes under the hybrid holes at sub level and stuff em real tight. That will give you buckets of FAE 
At any rate I think you should be proud of this tub. Rated 5

That straw will be fine to use but it is a royal pain in the ass to cut. Each piece needs to be 1-2" in length. For me, cutting it with scissors was not an option and after almost burning up the motor in my food processor, I gave up on straw. Good luck.

I think the next Mini I do I'm going to try those hybrid holes...My other Mini-Monos I used standard Mono holes...had great results...but the hybrid might be even better.

[OP: Not hijacking your thread, my apologies, just trying to offer possible help thru my experiences ;-) all love
Recently started 4 of these 27 QT Sterilites, using Damion's 50/50 method with a little added gypsum for sub, and 1/4" holes drilled every 2" per Doc_T's instructions. Currently 2 at 7 days and 2 at 4 days colonization with each using 3 qts spawn (1 tub PE, 1 TC, 1 Ecuador, 1 Mazatapec), in loosely twisted garbage bags and they all look to be doing great (peaked 1x every 3 days and to let some CO2 out per suggestions I had read on here).
Will share pics and likely a log once fruiting. These tubs are great as long as you follow directions and (as always) pay close attention to maintain proper sterility when pasteurizing/sterilizing subs ;-)
Have tried traditional monotubs with polyfill but have not had the best luck - I blame myself for cutting corners. I definitely expect to double up on these next round and sticking to these from now on, now that I am sold.
Big thanks to all who have contributed to this thread, Doc_T, Damion5050, RR, and all our other fellow shroomerites who have contributed useful knowledge to those in need. I only wish I can help pass it on. YOU CAN DO IT!
I hope this helped someone once in my shoes.

IMO in the minis if you have the extra coir and don't have the experience, case every time.
I almost exclusively use these 27 qt monos for quick turn around and easy use. I can get away with not casing but a casing just makes it so much easier. Then when you understand dialing in a bit more you can stop casing.
