Mixing Millet with CVG in Qt jars and PCing - Will it work?

Title says it. I want to try and reduce growing times and I'm thinking if I make my CVG as the bucket Tek and simply add millet and more water accordingly. Then PC at 15psi for 60-90mins in Qt jars. Could I inoculate with LC and once colonized simply spawn to a mono and they should be able to fruit quicker then if I spawn the millet to the CVG correct?
Wouldn't this also reduce the risk of contams?
Thanks for the input guys.

I never tried it but I think it should work. I wouldn't jar the coir at field capacity though, I think that would be too much and will promote more bacterial growth. That is just a guess though. I also don't think it will be much faster because you won't be able to shake a jar of coir like you would with grains.
As for contams, there will be exactly the same risk for them simply because most, if not all contams that show up before, around or just after a first flush are due to dirty spawn. Jarring coir up will not fix bad sterile technique.
I would stick to the teks, especially if you are still a beginner. Experimentation is all well and good but you need to know what you are doing before you attempt to go off script. If you want consistent grows start doing agar and inoculate jars every week/month or at increments you want. Doing so will give you a steady supply of colonized jars and tubs that will fruit one after the other so you won't have to finish a grow and start over. By the time you would have one tub ready for harvest, you would have another just finishing colonization and a set of jars ready to be spawned. If you really want, you can have multiple tubs going at any time and once you harvest and trash them, you will have either other tubs that you already spawned or jars ready for spawning to make the same amount of tubs you had before.
There are a lot of folks who run multiple tubs month after month, all you need is to practice the timing.

Thanks man. It's not so much an experiment as it is a method. But yeah I feel yeah. I have shit planed out right now and I'm just trying to work out the finishing to make sure I'm doing it the easiest was possible once I start to increase production.
Your input was really helpful man. It's basically invitro style spawned to Monos and I was just kinda brain storming.
