No just tap water
60% is great for in tub. It will be 90+ less than a few centimeters from the surface of the mycelium then.
You can always put some of those rubber sticky furniture protectors in each corner or something similar to make air gaps on any tub

This is what happens when you have to unexpectedly go out of town for a week and don't have anyone you trust to tend to your tub. Are these all trash? Anything worth harvesting?

Thanks. I'm assuming leaving it with a regular lighting schedule and not removing the lid from the top at all caused them to rot? Before I left they'd just barely started to pin. I was gone 6 days and came back to it as pictured.
Does the mold look like a type that would've happened regardless of whether or not I'd left it? Trying to figure out if the my technique and/or spawn was bad before I had to leave

Some of the black is from spores dropping, some is from rotting and remaining in wetness with not enough FAE for too long... some of the white is prob myc growing on the fruits and some looks like mold.. hard to say what exactly is happening where without being there to inspect
Seems pretty bad for just 6 days if it was just pinning when you left

And...almost full colonization at day 4. With the obvious downside of not being able to see the bottom or sides, but the spawn was very thoroughly mixed throughout.

I haz very high hopes for this culture. 
Spawned tub #2 today as well. We'll see if it goes as quickly as this one has.
It was fast on grains too. 6 days to full colonization from g2g, could have been 5 if I'd shaken a day earlier (but I'm not actually in a hurry for this one, it's going unexpectedly fast and I'm not quite ready for it to start fruiting yet! Lol)

day 31 of my first grow. approaching harvest.
fairly abundant side pinning, and there's a patch in a corner or two that seems drier and hasn't produced many pins. i'm guessing my surface conditions are inadequate, simply due to uneven moisture/quicker drying...?
also noticed mycelium on some of the growing mushrooms. i've heard this is due to inadequate fresh air exchange.
today is inoc +34 days.
as previously mentioned, first ever grow, mss -> wbs monotub. i cowboy'd it and injected directly to grains.
harvested first flush today.
1033g = 36oz wet.
this was 4 quarts spawn in a 29qt tub, using about half of a 650g coir brick plus 2 quarts verm.
that works out to a yield of 9oz wet per quart of spawn, or about 258g wet yield per quart.
beginner's luck. i'm very pleased with the result. will report dry weight once they're done drying.
thank you to all the experienced members who have shared your knowledge.
edit: dry weight 94g (3.3oz), which works out to a wet water percentage of 91%.

Well here is my tub so far. I noticed a few pins 2 days ago so I got out the light and started using it. The surface seemed to change quite a bit and the sides of the tubs above the sub straight dried up pretty quick. I moved the light about a foot away from the top of the tub hopefully that will be ok.
What do you guys think of the surface? Bottom left has a few yellow spots, is this ok. I have not misted once yet. I think it might be time I start.

Looks ok to me, just maintain beads of moisture on the surface of the substrate... the yellow is metabolites, and could indicate some bacteria (though doesn't seem too concerning) or rapid growth, where the sub is generating more waste by metabolism, than it can get rid of by resorbtion... Looking good!

I feel like there was too much moisture in my casing, I need to convert again all the quarts, etc to metric and make sure I get it bang on next time.

It was my first little test batch, which I missed a key part of the PC tek, not letting the steam go 10 mins before putting on the weight, as well as the WBS was not properly done, so there is a good chance something wasn't perfect.
Oh and also I injected through the tyvek hole in my jars, going to just lift them next time.
At least I'm learning a lot by these little mistakes, gonna give oats a go and make sure I am very exact in my measurements.

I find that sticking to one method until you get it down properly is usually the best way to move forward, rather than continually changing what you're doing to a new method. Its just grain choice so not a huge deal and nothing wrong with trying oats, but if you still have WBS left I personally would use it again because now you have an idea of what you did wrong with it.

Injecting through tyvek leaves a hole more than big enough for mold spores to get through. It doesnt self-heal like silicone ports.

Any thoughts on my AA+ tub? Pseudo-cased at spawn. Started misting 1-2 times a day before full colonization, because I've had major surface condition issues on previous grows. Lid left on and upside down pretty much all the time. Seems to be a nice pinset coming in but there's a few trouble spots, and despite these sitting in my closet at consistently 66-74 degrees, with plenty of light, I'm getting heavy bruising again.

A piece of micropore tape over the pierced tyvec does the trick

Maybe you're a bit dry to start with? I Don't wanna say contamination, but never saw bruising this early without... unless it's super dry
