I've done this tek a few times and it works really well. Personally, I love the simplicity and the fact that I can leave it for a while if I have to.
The only problem I have is that I get side pins and bottom pins.
Has anyone done side by side testing on how to minimize this - e.g compressing substrate? changes in spawn ratio? change in substrate composition?
Any idea how Bod mitigates this?

I personally recommend compressing your sides down tight at spawn. I never used a liner just pressed the sides down well and added a 1/4inch top layer at spawn. Bod says he doesn’t like using top layers but I think they are good at spawn, helps keep your surface from drying out (one of the reasons you’ll get side/bottom fruits).

First flush EVER! Thanks much Bod you’re the shit! You are spot on I spawned the grain jars on 8/8, spawned to tubs on 8/28, first puns 9/9, harvested 9/13. I have another tub that needs harvested any moment. I really am impressed with the results. I got side pins something to work on in the future. I had my corners dry or get overwatered can’t tell another place for improvement. I was convinced to try agar but supplies will arrive to late for first flush and I fucked the cakes pretty good I think harvesting which is another thing to work on... not sure how much I got I will report back it’s in the dehydrator. Need /hope for a second flush to try spore prints and cloning. Thanks again!!
Added costs; Agar $12 Petrie dishes $12 Suggested jar $20 Dehydrator $70 SAB tub $18 I think I’m at around ~$350 not cheap but rewarding.

Beautiful! How many quarts of grain? Did you mist and fan before pining?[

Wow! Impressive!
What variety is that? I'm still in Golden Teacher Land and have had some OK flushes, but no crazy canopies that are tight and thick like that.
Just wondering if I should step out of my comfort zone and try another variety or keep trying to improve on what I have.
Props to you sir.

That’s mostly down to good conditions and really relies on genetics.
As long as you can dial your tubs in you can get grows like that with any type of cube, just gotta hit the right genetics. Clones will usually get you there quicker too but it’s still kinda rare ime to get them that dense.
Maz did it for me my first one but it’s been a while since I’ve seen a tub like that.

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I'll stick with refining what I'm used to for now, and keep working on learning.
I'm still challenged developing an eye for managing conditions. Sometimes I feel like I'm all over the place, then other times, not doing enough.
I'll keep researching and re-reading the info that's around and hope something sticks to the inside of my brain...lol

Sooooooo......
Have some BOD 54qts going:
Spawned: 9/5 9/6 9/8
—-
I noticed 9/5 seemed to have stalled after colonizing great the first 5 days or so...
Opened the lid and got hit with the faint sour smell.
My 9/6 smells nothing like that so obviously we have issues.
Trying to figure out if it was spawn or coir prep ... no visible contams...
Then I realized I had the m*********ng lids on and sealed/latched.
No GE for who knows how many days.
I did the same thing to my 9/8 one 🤦♂️
Pretty sure it says in your OP tek that you never latch the lid 🤷🏻♂️ I think I just did it cause I was probably high just latching latches because they were there to latch 🤣
Guess I won’t be mad about it, these are my first ones. But man, what a boneheaded mistake.
Hey Noobs: don’t latch your tubs with a gasket lid 👍. Apparently mycelium needs gas exchange, Guess I just blanked on myco 101
First shoeboxes not going so bad at least
Edit- I’m not gonna dump them just yet. I saw some references where the GE problem was suspect and fixed and the tubs apparently recovered.
Maybe I didn’t kill them, maybe it’s just some extra yeast and that can go away with an abundance of GE now? Who knows. I’ll update.

Very impressive. What size tubs are these? And how much substrate/spawn per tub?

First ever monotub. Cloned from a shoebox grow. 12 days from spawn to harvest. Thanks for the awesome writeup, Bod.

12 days??!
If the potency’s there that’s as good a culture as you can get.

Wanted to give an updated on the 54qts I suffocated by accident.
The 9/5 tub that was more colonized, this morning has no more smell, and it appears has colonized a tiny bit more.
The 9/8 tub that was only a day or so old when I suffocated it, still stinks. Not sure if it will make it, but I’m super happy the other one is back on track.
Once it was odor free, I gave it a much needed mist and put her back in place. A couple hours later and smelled like fresh mush and coir again 👍
It’s possible to revive some things 🕺

Thanks for the tek Bod! I had to tune the lid gaps a bit due to drafts in the room, but it's working like a champ.

How big were your gaps? Did you have to mist much before pins?

About 2 1/2" on the fully opened ones. I did have to mist above the tub a few times, so I just watched the surface conditions and tried to keep the surface looking like little diamonds on snow - without overparenting them.
The patch with less pins is where it was drying out from drafts initially.

Thanks Bod.
First time grower, I jumped right into your methods. Agar tek, oat prep, coir prep, unbodified tub... all fucking good. simple AF.
my fist attempt I didn't get the moisture right, but this second tub...

Hey Guys, I live in a higher altitude and have noticed that if I flip the lid right away it causes matting and dries out hard. Also I used to leave the lid on normal and would get a sour smell until i stopped using the gaskets now theres no smell. The gaskets dont serve much of a purpose for what we are doing. Now I flip the lid at 90-100% colonization and This is the first tub Ive ever had that did not have matting mycelium. Hope this helps someone

I used 6 quarts per tub of oats. I flipped the lid after about 2 days colonization, I didn’t really fan much but a little towards the end because I got some fuzzy feet. I did dry off the lid a few times after pins showed up. I also sprayed the lid a few times to add back some humidity at times (shook it off really well after spraying it and before putting back on tub). I only misted corner/ends of the tubs, I also tried to sprayed the walls a bit if they got super dry when I WAS misting but NEVER just to spray walls as I hear they don’t grow... I never once sprayed the center of the tub. I left the lid off a little funny once and I am speculating I dried out and matted my first tub a little on one side, but could have also been over spraying. I am not really sure due to lack of experience. I used surface conditions mostly to judge the tub but can’t lie that I also use the amount of humidity on tub walls to judge atmosphere inside.... sorta using my experience from taking clones in cloning trays/domes.
