well i don't have the spawn to fill the tub yet, and it might be a while until i do. i will be inoculating jars as soon as i score a print of the cakes i'm fruiting atm.
however i made a second much smaller tub and i got 2 cakes worth of crumbles in there right now:

i didn't think of it at the time, but it occurred to me that it might work better with a layer of casing material on the bottom. as it is the wick is in direct contact with the myc crumbles.
it's been a day or so now and though i have a lamp on it not to far away, it is still moist at the surface atm.

oh also i set up the larger tub with a water tray n stuff and the wicking is working quite well on the soil, as expected.
and it happens i am about to spawn some 5qts of azurescens wood spawn to more wood. i will spawn some of that to the larger tub and place it in a cool room.
i am also having some success inoculating a rye jar with ovoideocystisiata so in a few months i may be setting up another tub with those as well.

Good luck getting the ovoids to fruit indoors, I've never seen it done unless it was mined myc and kept in a cold ass garage most of the time. Also it takes them months to metabolize the wood. I love ovoids, and have been thinking of how to fruit them indoors in a long and drawn out 6 month process mimicking the conditions of their natural habitat, but I still have my doubts.

well i intend to fruit them in my bedroom, which is unheated and should go down to 5C or maybe even lower. so that should be fairly close to 'cold garage' conditions.

well i just harvested the first flush off my 2nd open air experiment: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22535081/vc/1#22535081
the azure spawn needs another couple of weeks, the ovoid jar is nearly done and appears to be contam free as it is recovering well from a final shake.
i finally scored some usable prints and inoculated 40 jars with cubensis so in a couple of weeks i can finally set up the experiment with the wick and living top layer. i am thinking of just taking some grass and strawberries from my garden. maybe a couple of small ferns in the corners.

sure, i am keeping logs of a couple of things in my journal: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/postlist.php/Journal/363395
i did some experiments with sewing rye in tubs to create a grass mat, but that proved impractical. so i did one with azure where i just have soil on all sides and on top of the sub and sprinkled some rye seeds on top.
i had contams and slow jars due to some noob mistakes so i haven't done a cube tub like that yet. i did set up an experiment with 2 small tubs, one wicked and one regular, without the living top layer.
