There’s usually all kinds of lids right by the jars at the store.
I’m not sure what exactly the ones you’re talking about are called but I know I’ve seem them when buying jars.
I want to say no leak or something.

Mason jar lids. Plastic ones. That's what they're called

I have run the same clone from plate to plate: if your technique is good and you rarely contaminate, cubensis is unlikely to wear out IMO/E... some of my older LPEU cultures are T28 and still putting out 5.5 dry oz on 3qts... masters are a good idea, and slants even better: but I've not personally seen a reason not to follow a culture all the way out until it goes south(typically user error/contamination: but have seen genetics go to junk due to happenstance transfer(rare)) before returning to master/slant...

Just need to figure out how to eliminate side pins more. I intend on spawning a 1000 tubs this year to try and figure it out.

Yeah man if you use plates well like you said I can’t imagine not getting bored of a culture before it goes bad. Long term storage is what’s got me going for slants so I don’t have to start from scratch when I feel like running a variety I haven’t done in a while.
1000 tubs??
That’s like 85 a month lol. You’d need thousands of dollars worth of tubs and a lot of space!
And a storage unit for the yields

I guess the overall message is not about the number of the tubs and basically just the ability to keep practicing, obvs I wont get 1000 tubs down by December 31st unless I scaled up dramatically, I am just high and threw a random number out there without doing actual math.

Hey... newby here. I used this tek to grow some mazatapec, and it worked great! Right now I have some more mazatapec in fruit, no problems. But I also have some Albino Penis Envy in fruit, but they seem to be having trouble breaking the surface. I didn't use a casing on them, cuz I didn't use it on the mazatapec and had great results. Please see pics below. The mazatapec look great, but the APE not so good. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

APE/PE benefits from a top layer at minimum, but a proper casing after full colonization will render best results... one variety is NOT the same as another:you'll have to dance with each new variety to determine it's preferences for moisture content, presence/thickness of top layer/proper casing, level of air exchange, amount of light, and whether or not misting is a necessity etc etc etc... WELCOME TO MUSH CULT
The second sub (assuming the APE) is a bit matted: might indicate bacteria, or too heavy misting... if you're misting, close it and leave it alone for a whole week... it'll either pin or contaminate: either way you'll know what's what... if you've not been misting, just leave the lid on unsnappedand same applies... if its bacterial, the extra air exchange might make or break it...

Thanks for the help, Cap! I'm going to close it and see what happens.
I'm in Arizona, very dry, and sub dries up very easily here. I'm running a portable evap cooler in the area to add some moisture to the air. I've been misting somewhat heavy, cuz the sub has tendency to turn light brown very easily in this climate.

I was gonna say about the same as caps.
There’s a lot of bruising on the subs either from drying, soaking, or both.
I’m also in a desert and had problems with my surface at first too. A top layer of coir at spawn made a massive difference for me.
I’ve only run shoeboxes and underbeds which are just giant shoeboxes but since it’s so dry leaving the lid on or dub tubbing worked perfectly.
A lot of people need to flip the lid or put it crooked for more air, and that’s what screwed me up at first. Once I realized my humidity was much lower than most places and adjusted accordingly it was fine.

Thanks aka! I've got some more jars of APE that will be ready in a week or so, so this time I'll try your idea of a coir top layer. The mazatapec might be the best type to grow in this climate. I've got some Northern Oregon Coast spores that I'm going to be trying soon, I suppose those will be more difficult then the Maz, too.

Hey guys, trying this unmodified monotub for the first time. Luckily I came across this before I put holes in my new tubs since I've been out of the game for a little while. This is what I have. I am going to flip the lid over and also get some lighting from home Depot today, but also thought about maybe doing it with natural sunlight also. Look good???? Any other suggestions for this specific tub(66qt) I have? I am using a mix of Coco Coir, Vermiculite, Hydrated Lime, Gypsum, ph buffers, ph stabilizers and mineral water. This is from a vendor. I know it's cheaper to do it myself, but so this is the best way for me right now and I don't mind spending the extra money.

Pins in the Costa Rica tub! This is the one where I split the coir in half and used a single qt of spawn in one half. I’ve been misting the “empty” coir, which I believe is helping keep humidity up in the tub. Low humidity seems to be an issue in the other tub, but hopefully it just needs some more time and patience.

You guys are giving me hope. My bags are finally germinating. And I look forward to learning by doing this tub. I do have a question though, would it be best to use just coco coir or verm too? And what kind of ratio to use?

I think I know almost all I need to know about mycology can anyone list any subjects I have missed besides liquid culture so far i know about Using spore syringes, isolating Strains on agar, g2g and agar transfers, cooking oats/coco, sterilizing oats, using sab,mixing monotubs, cloning and using master and slave plates and slants, taking spore prints Is there anything else in can learn besides using LC and using flowhoods I'm thinking my next subject should be learning how to do tables but thats a big step are there any smaller subjects I should learn first?

Just like how massive commercial farms are set up multiples tables basically stacked on top of each other with the entire environment 90%+ humitidy filtered air through hepa filters my buddy used to work at a farm like this for the shrooms that end up on grocery store shelves

Hello, this is my first tub using BOD's coir tek and unmodded tub tek. Please take a look and provide some feedback.
This is the gap under the lid.

Progress after 6 days.



It was left untouched since spawning. Spawn ratio was about 1:4-5. I see tiny droplets of water on anything sticking above substrate surface. Is this good? There is some fluffy mycelium in few places. Not enough FAE or leave it like that?
Thank you.
