I'll be back home in less than 20 hours! Can't wait to get back and see how many more of the tubs I can go ahead and spawn....hopefully all 6 more....neglect tekking it here big time....I did get the snap shots of the first two tubs the other day, but I'm sure they are both going to be ready to case and fruit! So exciting.....sucks two tubs will be a full 5-6 days ahead of the rest, but not super bad.

Arrived home tonight from 5 days in Denver....the legal weed is dope! BUT I am so happy to be home with my just as good illegal bud and my dearly beloved fungus!
Got home to discover the two tubs I spawned before I departed are ready to be cased and fruited! I recon I'll do that tomorrow because I just don't have it in me tonight....,I'll go ahead and introduce fruiting conditions tonight, and pasteurize the casing, but I'll have to apply it in the morning when I'm not so tired!
 So beautiful 
Additionally twenty more grain jars are ready to spawn, so in addition to casing two tubs tomorrow, we will be spawning 4 more also!
Regrettably 10 jars are still not fully colonized with the slowest looking....bad.....probably got some bacteria in a few jars....nothing that's going to interfere with fruiting:

I was pretty lax on my lids this grow and honestly, my colonization closet isn't the cleanest this time around.....but we are going to make it out with our 8 tubs I believe.....obviously more time will tell!

I hope everyone else is as big a procrastinator As I am...I did not introduce fruiting conditions last night....,I really should have, but no biggie, both these tubs looks simply great! They are begging for fresh air though...,just a few more hours till the casing is cool...
Decided to only spawn two more tubs tonight as I can't find the lid of my third bucket 
Oh well, I suppose I can do two more very early in the morning.
I couldn't find my preferred brand of course vermiculite today, and am instead mixing these monotubs with fine vermiculite...,do any of you guys use fine vermiculite in your monotubs? I'm nervous.
I'll go look for course vermiculite again tomorrow...,and hydrated lime so I can make my own casing....apparently wal-mart has stopped selling Jiffy around here.

If you poke a nail hole through the bucket lid and stuff with poly it wont warp like that.
i like working hard THEN being lazy, makes it all the better
I doubt the grade of verm matters.

Those look on point dude.
I procrastinate so much. I let like 8 pp5s consolidate for a week longer than I should've, now it's too late to fruit them and I'm going to let them consolidate another 2 weeks until I can fruit them again lol

Everything is awesome!
Spawning tubs five and six tonight! Hopefully I can do seven and eight together..,,but it looks like I will have to do 7 Monday or so, and 8 some point after that...,everything looks fine on the grain jar front though.
Tubs 1&2 have been cased/fruited for the last 40 hours or so....look beautiful
Tubs 3&4 have been colonizing for the last 38 hours or so...recovering nicely.
Got two buckets going for tubs 5&6 right now...,sure it will be great....
Pics of everything....

The two tubs I did on Saturday night are colonizing at tremendous speed....they are totally as far along as the two tubs I did 4 days ago....but oh well....tubs 1 & 2 are munching through their casing layers.....hope to see knots/pins in the next 8 days or so! Very exciting time!
So disaster struck tonight! I dropped a totally clean fully colonized grain jar on a tile floor and it smashed.....luckily at 5 qt so per tub I had two extra quarts of spawn...,but still it was like losing a great friend....,felt shitty....
We are just waiting on the slowest of the grain jars to reach 100% colonization and we can spawn our 8th monotub for this project!! So excited to see how the flushes differ from tub to tub given they all are the same genetics!
At any rate.....some of the last boring pics before pins start next week: In order of spawning/fruiting:
Tubs 1&2
 
Tubs 3&4 (Spawned 4 days ago)
 
Tubs 5&6 (Spawned 2 days ago)
 
Tub 7 (Spawned tonight)

Veteran Growers Only Please: Critique this set up...,obviously I want as much room between walls of the room and the fruiting tubs? Is this positioning okay?

You don't need space with monos like you do with SGFC's. You can run monos in a closet. But more light would be better.

I don't see how even with a window the ones in the back are getting enough light, but I'll take your word for it. Looks good brother man.

Given the number of tubs I've colonized in my bedroom closet, I'm not too worried about the lighting, but the window is on the wall parallel to the short sides of the back tubs...they get lit up all day

Can't you scoop the grain off the ground and spawn it?

Sure I could have....but it had lots of broken glass in it....it was worth it not to cut my hands up...,I made extra grain jars for this project to safeguard against a low contamination rate....42/42 jars inoculated with my LC came out usable....I originally planned for six monotubs spawned with 6qts spawn each, but adjusted to 8 with 5 each when I realized how many clean jars I actually had on hand (naturally)

IME the light requirement for shrooms is easy to achieve. I can't rely on natural light during winter but the sun doesn't even come close to the door I leave my tubs by. Summer light is powerful enough for that to not matter. As long as there is some light, they will be dandy.
I've been hooking up LED strips in my tubs recently, still need to do some adjustments though.

Your lighting is sufficient (assuming that the color is within the 5000-7000k range). Indirect sunlight is also fine, but I find that direct light works wonders for obtaining the all-important pinset. 
I find that tubs get optimal FAE when the short sides have a few inches of space from the wall. The longer sides with tightly-stuffed holes can be placed against a wall without restricting airflow.
Just my 2 cents!
Many thanks for posting a log. I sure can't wait to see some pins!
