First Time Monotub - Golden Teacher

Hello, So this is my first time digging into Monotubs. Before this was just BRF Cakes and so far its going smoothly. I tried first off with Yellow Popcorn only to fail due to contamination/moisture content.
This time I went with Rye berries and nailed it perfectly, Don't have many pictures just yet.. But I just put the tub into fruiting conditions right before this thread. ENjoy!
 
Day 6 of Fruiting conditions

Day 8 of Fruiting Conditions - Starting to Pin
    
Day 11 of Fruiting, Not as many pins as I expected but there seems to be more coming. Started fanning to help with the moisture on mycelium.
 
Day 12 Fruiting, more visible pins and new growth.
  
Day 12\13 Comparison photos. Think it's looking good. Hopefully they all mature and give a decent flush! Being patient..

So it's day 15 of fruiting, had to chop down a few to let the rest mature.. All in all, not bad!

First Flush 2.5oz dry so far and still have some more in the tub growing..

By the way any advice is appreciated. Poly fill looking okay? I'm trying to get this down pat. Thanks to FrankHorrigan tek.
Also would this "grow light" be acceptable or should I let the window they are next to take care of it?

Roger that, what about the fan? I put it on top and just letting it hit the wall.

If you must use the fan, move it far from the tub and keep it on low. You shouldn't need a fan at all though. Also, make sure your top holes are LOOSELY filled with poly.

3 days after being put into fruiting conditions. I know not to expect anything just yet but I'm excited to see how it turns out. I'm hoping for a nice dry weight yield

i think me and you just started the tek around the same time my friend, did you case and put right into fruiting or did you wait 30% colonization?

I waited for about 30% give or take. Now it's pretty much covered white besides a few small spots. Not much condensation on the sides though maybe it's a little too cool in the room..

I put around a tablespoon when I soaked the rye, and a handful when I prepared the sub like you said
I cased about 3 days ago after full colonization, it seemed to go pretty fast surprisingly.. Hope it stays that way.. Got more jars in the pressure cooker now.
It's nice to see a few other people starting monotubs around the exact same time to compare to! Best of luck, if you got pics feel free to post them up!
