This looks like a hell of a time saver. I plan on trying a few tubs with this setup in the coming weeks. Thanks to everyone who posted their results

update and random comment re: tubs cased, poly'ed and fruited at spawning.
 
both tubs showed first pins 2 or 3 days sooner than typical. pinset is more even, especially fruit development (usually would have a couple bigger faster pins and a bunch of pins that lagged). expected this greater uniformity from casing layer tubs.
tub 2 (the more mature tub) was spawned a day after the first tub. #2 caught up and passed the earlier tub. it is a clear tub and the slower tub is opaque with a plexi window. this is the first time I have noticed an all clear tub out-performing a plexi-window opaque tub. I have always suspected clear to be superior, but have never really experienced it.
anyway ... always interesting

Has anyone reported on differences or traits of multiple flushes? I don't have any theories as to why something would be different, but azur's tubs are one-and-done so it may be something for us to check.
My tub is still knotting up.

I ran 2nd and 3rd flushes with gt's back in the day. I don't remember well enough to report on it, but i was happy with it.

I'm curious about this as well, do you only do one flush because you'd rather just make another tub, or do you actually get the most of your BE from the first flush? If it's the latter, I'd like to know how that happens. I don't mind getting more flushes cuz I only do a couple at a time but I can see why if you were doing a bunch of tubs you'd only want one massive flush.

I do get killer 1st flushes. Why wait for a 2nd shitty flush when if you build a new tub the day you harvest the first flush, you'll get a new 1st flush just a few days after you would have gotten the shitty 2nd flush? Elementary if you ask me.

So it's just about getting it down so that your first flush is good enough that you don't give a fuck about a second flush, that's fair.

Or have such a good first flush that there won't even be a second. I doubt anyone sees better than 175% over 3 flushes. Too much wasted energy. But I have gotten 200% in the first flush. 200 in one or 175 if you're lucky in 3. No brainer

Yup. I saved a few pe tubs for a 2nd flush and each one sprouted anywhere from 2 to 5 measly mushrooms

This would be impressive. I've never left a tub until it just stopped producing, but if I only got 1 flush and nothing else grew I would consider myself no longer a newb.

Use a 1:1 or 1:1.5 with a nice substrate

Blast. I didn't make enough spawn for that this time, plus I can't find poo in this giant metropolis I live in. So CVG it is for now...or maybe just CG since I'm out of verm and don't feel like buying it right now. Composted poo isn't as good because it's already been primary decomposed right? Like a bag of shit from Lowes or whatever
