This is what I did:
  
Cut the lid open and saran-wrapped it.

Don't fix or take off the the lid until its fully colonised.. Mycelium is much weaker when its growing and contamination risks are high exposed to open air. It would be like opening a jar while its colonising, it should not be done 
Patience is important when growing mushrooms.. Try not look at the tub for a whole week My last monotub took three weeks and fruited well in the end. Have Faith

then how do you spawn your tubs? inside a sab? 
peeking is fine. there's already a bunch of mold spores in the tub and co2 levels will be right back up when you put the lid back on.
pasteurized sub and colonized grains in open air is nothing like sterilized grains in open air.

My bad.
Took me a hour to make alterations to my lid and that cant be good for the substrate.. Regardless, i believe its best to stay as sterile as possible and opening up the lid invites contaminants.

Sterile...? How do you spawn your grains to the bulk substrate while being sterile? In front of a giant flowhood? And to get the chamber sterilized, you pressure cook the entire fruiting chamber and take it out of the giant pressure cooker in front of the giant flow hood? Are you, by chance, a giant?
You can get a bulk substrate to colonize in open air, btw, it just takes longer and is prone to drying out.

It may not be 100% Sterile but I clean the tub before adding the spawn and grain and to mix everything together quickly before placing the lid on top to try stay as sterile as possible.. This is what I do but each to there own.
Its Jonr's Thread so try help him rather than taking the piss.
