My first Monotub!
Inoculated with Costa Rican spore syringe on 8/30. Fully colonized (more like ~90%) on 9/24, 8 half filled pint jars of WBS.
Spawned to an entire batch of Damions50/50 tek. (Thats some low spawn rate rate i know) No casing. Even a small amount of exposed grains.. I covered the monotub with a blanket, and revealed it today.
Its like christmas. Somebody give me a congrats I'm giddy. Cubes arent so demanding As it seems. Thanks to all of Shroomery.
Anyway.. Can anyone tell me how many quarts of spawn are made after damions bucket tek, And/or what exactly /was/ my spawn rate?
And there is a fair amount of standing water on the sides, the lid (before i modified it), and the substrate but no sight of contams. Atm im letting it be, only thinking water=better flushes. Should i be?

You should take a picture with the lid off so we can actually see it. I haven't read Damion 50/50's tek in a while but I'd say your spawn rate is around 1:3ish maybe a bit lower. A bit on the Lowe side. I generally use 5 or 6 3/4 full qts to that much substrate but you should be fine. Don't put blankets over colonising tubs. You don't want to smother it and you don't wat it getting too hot. A bit if condensation build up is normally. Too much and you will want to dry things up a bit.

Here it is. Thanks for the advice MF. I didnt duct tape my holes by the way, so next time i should tape them and leave the blanket off correct? And then after ive checked 100% i remove tape and replace with poly?

The liner is supposed to shrink with the substrate, the tape causes the substrate to peel away from it and defeats the purpose of the liner.

You honestly going to corect me because I thought Damion5050 has a slash in his name. Why the fuck do you always feel the need to corect things that really don't matter? Does it make you feel superior. Does being right on the Internet some how make up for feelings if inferiority you have in real life? I just don't get it.

Mush cult is a joke. You have so called "TC's" flaming each other. How do you guys expect other's to respect your authority if you guys aren't any better than the rest?

I would like to chime in here for a second. While I consider direct flaming to be inappropriate yet also quite funny, I also don't think that being tagged means you are no longer human. We all lose it in one way or another occasionally. The response is often different for different people but its still a reaction that stems from being human or in Mudas case saskquatch.
Usually when I feel like telling someone here to cram their head up their sphincter i resist by posting mush porn. This calms me down considerably. However its not necessarily going to work for everyone. I would also like to reserve the right to call someone a douchebag cumdumpster if the moment calls for it. I shall leave it to the mods to sort out afterwards.
Also you can't hide the tag.

Its all good, hardly a real issue. I guess my rant is based on people thinking TC's all of a sudden have to change who they are juat because they got tagged. Certainly some level of ettiqute is to be expected but, I have bad days just like anyone. Now if I I consistently put out bad info and argued about it, that is reason to call me out.

Man, I correct the 50/50 thing every time because there's a fuckin 50/50 casing tek. If people can't delete threads after their questions get answered because that fucks up the search results, the 50/50 thing seems almost nearly as detrimental.
If you really wanna call it the 50/50 tek and I'm suddenly a faggot for correcting it, then so be it. But I don't call people names and talk shit like that, so mentioning real life inferiority complexes doesn't seem like the best foot to get off on if we wanna get Freudian about it.
edit: Seriously though, I'm pretty tired of some of you fucks saying I'm "disrespectful to everyone" and such. More than 95% of my posts are helpful and you're just seeing what you want to see to fit your argument, which is based around attacking me as a person, rather than my ideas. If anything is less helpful than my posts, it's shit like that. I don't start shit for no reason. The thing I was correcting wasn't meaningless, and it's important to understand the differences. Dionlil came into the thread just to talk about me. No other posts here, none helpful. I was at least offering OP advice and getting to a point with my question, however snarky it might've come off. I don't have to explain who is compensating for what when the evidence is right on the table.

Well said Pasty.
The reasons TC's get tagged is due mainly because said tagged individuals are good at explaining/teaching, as well as, have been found by the site's staff to be knowledgeable over the topic of mushroom cultivation with the pictures to back it up.

See? It's not a competition over who knows more over the subject at hand or not. Just that the methods used by said cultivator are proved to work for said cultivator, backed up with pictures, consecutively, as well as, being good at explaining/teaching the subject at hand.

Right, well that's really what I meant, it was just an oversimplified way of saying "Who has equal or greater experience", since it's really about the experience, anybody can be a walking textbook. Guess I was expanding on the train of thought I was replying to and that's where it took me.
I'm gonna back out of here... really didn't mean to throw this thread off course like I ended up triggering. Sorry OP. I really only inadvertently wanted to make sure you weren't using a 50/50 ratio of something like coir/verm. Things were gonna go down differently in my head I guess. I've slept since then so I couldn't tell you.

   rather then ban you children i cleaned this shit up...you can thank me later. tags are for those who deserve it not who ya know. i do agree there are plenty of folks around who could rock one but in reality we have a lot of active tc's which is great relief on the staff and for that i thank guys like pasty/loaf/bl/ and blah blah blah We all know why we are here and why we log in...to help out and sometimes we forget that...i know i get pissy at least twice a week and for that i will publicly apologize for being a piss ant to people(you know who you are so i won't mention names) i am trying my best to stay level headed these days but constantly logging in to this shit gets old real fast.
We need to realize we don't all have to agree on anything as this is a hobby of many variables and many ways to do shit, some better then others but who are we to say whats right for one person is right for all.
Many of you in this very thread i would consider a friend and would like to thank you all for your patients with me over the past year...this shit has not been easy on me whatsoever and i feel most days like i just ain't the same cron i once was because of it but because of my dedication to this site i push foreward hoping better days will come but knowing in the back of my mind that this is the internet and chances are it will only get worse as time goes on but that's ok...it will be simple enough for me to just stop logging in.
on that note i hope you guys understand where i'm coming from when i say all i want to do is log in and talk mushrooms yet i spend most of my time dealing with this bs.
so i say stay true...be you...be a shroomerite and help our new growers to get what they came to get.
wish ya all the best on your grows/teks and future endeavors in mycology.
ps...i can hide my tag

Arguing about symantics is a waste of time and rather childish. There are members who do this often to others. It is rude and can be taken that way. It also drives new and good members away. I feel it wastes space and ruins threads. Why not cordially help and extend knowledge and learning with open arms? At least that is the way this forum used to be.

Okay then let people call bulk subs casings, damion's coir tek the 50/50 coir tek, and give FAE during colonization. Or that one guy's Poor Man's No Air Zone Chamber.
Oh wait, semantics do matter because it's important that we use all the same terminology or confusion ensues? SHOCKING!  I'm sure you've NEVER corrected anything anyone's said ever right? Because that would be immature. I don't know of a single thread where a misnomer was corrected by an experienced member.
We could just live every day like this:

This is what happens when you don't get terminologies right though. Everyone's like where the hell did you get this information? When really if you said a poor sab, they'd give you their opinions. In my opinion you want a real sab. That's too small and way too easy to move the air around in a small thing.
OP, as a new cultivator, would you rather be corrected with a term that everyone uses or left to say whatever and not get help because of it?

Okay day 8 in fruiting conditions. I woke up to about 8 or so pins in the tub. Thats cool, but i wanted to address some things none the less.
After more reading and consideration, im a little worried. 1) There are yellowish spots on some parts on the corner. Is this just drying out or should i be concerned? Ill post pics if somebody wants.
2) My monotub looks dry at this point. No moisture on walls what so ever. Pretty much none standing on sub either. Its also less fluffy than it was But i figure thats normal as it is in cakes. I hear monotubs shouldnt need misting right..?
3) My 2 holes on each long side, are WAY to high up i think. Like 6" from sub. My other top holes are about 10". So i cut a 7th hole. On one of the long sides. Between the other 2, and below them, so that Its right over the sub. Was this a good idea? I dont want to further dry out my tub by having more than 7 holes.. Should i maybe tape them up, and drill more? (Closer to sub, like the 8th hole.) im afraid the vibrations from a hole Saw might hurt the myc. Network.

If it looks dry mist it. I mist monos all the time. You can dial them in so they don't need to be misted but I prefer to have some extra FAE and mist from time to time.
It's a good idea to have your bottom holes right at sub level but honestly you can make any hole pattern work.
Pix pleas.

Its so barely visible in that picture its the best i can do though. Basically Its a kinda low spot, thats flat not fluffy. And is a piss yellow color. To me, it looks like what some of my cakes look like after a flush or 2 when theyre drying out. But its a monotub and ive got no xp. Ever see yellowing around monotub sub?

It's gard to zed but it's probably just dry. Keep misting wrnever the surface dries out and try tightening your polly a bit. Don't over mist but the surface should never be completely dry.

If it's pinning close to the edges that's another sign that it's too dry. Keep it hydrated and you should be just fine. Good luck man.

Well i got a pin set here of about a hundred. I wonder how that stands compared to average tubs. Should i expect many of these to grow very large, considering theyre all around the edges? I figure not. Either way i assume my first flush should be done in a couple days well see how it goes.

Next time, case your tub. You will get a better pinset. I have tried monotubs both cased and uncased and cased seems to perform better.

Yes i shall. I read that casing increases contam % because of time to colonize, but so does exposed grain. So i figure, no contams this go, and next time ill have more spawn, so ill go for the case.

Proper pasteurization will give you atleast a 2 week window. That includes substrate and casing. Which should be plenty of time for the substrate to colonize and for your substrate to pin after adding the casing layer. Contams shouldn't be a problem as long as you properly pasteurize and spawn only with clean spawn.

Are you in the US? If you are, it should be easy to source these 3 things.
1) 8qt bag of coir (loose) from a pet shop 2) 8qt bag of vermiculite from a garden center of any hardware or big box store 3) Bag of pickling lime in the canning section of any hardware or big box store.
Every 66 quart tub gets 2 qts of casing. For every 2 qts of casing you will need 3 cups of coir, 3 cups of verm and 1 1/2 cups of water with a tspn of pickling lime. Do the squeeze test and adjust to field capacity as necessary. Fill jars with casing and top with aluminum foil. Put pc on burner, turn stove on medium. Put jars in pc but leave the lid off. Push analog thermometer down through the foil until the back of the thermometer touches the foil. When the temperature reaches 125*F, take pot off the heat and place lid on pc. Check periodically if you like but the thermometer will peak at 165*F and will not drop below 140*F before the 2 hour mark. I usually just leave them in there to cool over night.

Yeah casing goes on after your sub reaches 100% colonisation. Not necessary for cubs but it can help make up for a poorly dialed in tub.

Questions: Okay would you guys agree its time to pick? About 1/2 have breaking veils i think. Surely i don't wanna let spores drop, for that would affect my harvest come the second flush right?
Should i try some method of rehydrating? Or assume this rather small flush left plenty of moisture? Any either case, should i remove small, still developing mushrooms, or leave them for the next flush?
My current plan/assumption: Its time to pick. After, i will hold up the tub and estimate the difference in weight. If it seems light, i will search ways to dunk and do so, probably taking off all pins. If it does seem the same weight, i will leave small developing mushrooms and take only all the mushrooms that are or near ready.

Go ahead and harvest, maybe give it 2-3 more hours. You don't have to dunk, you can just mist the hell out of it between flushes.

You dunk a mono in the fridge? Do you not have a bunch of dirty ass food in there? Or hell, regular ass food, that's not dirty, but is just taking up space in the fridge, like it should?

I have multiple refrigerators in my house one behind the bar for mixers And beer one in the kitchen with food for my mouth ( we don't put food in our asses ) and one in my garage that is used mostly for beverages and the occasional dunk. Maybe your trailer or dorm room doesn't have that kind of space. so please...

Ohhh insults about my socioeconomic status. The makings of a fine argument, indeed.
Like was said, it's a tropical species. Cold shocking them in the middle of the fruiting cycle is pointless.

Wow this thread just delivers the 
*Feels bad for the OP*
OP in my experience the only time a dunk really is needed would be if you really have a hell of a pull. 100% BE or better. Otherwise there is still plenty of water left for a second flush. Oddly enough if your first flush is really good there usually ain't much point in multiple flushes, the sub is often too exhausted to really put out much more.

Woo woo jar of drug first bulk ect ect..
I have a ton of mushroom in the sides of the tub. I made cracks in the whole sub trying to get them out, as well as took a couple chunks of sub about. Basically, it was cringy.. But awesome.
Should i worry about these fruiting bodies left over on the sides inviting contams during the next flush? How should i have/should, gone/go about this?
