Sharing is Caring. Monotub

Hey all, I just wanted to share my first Grain spawn Monotub with you. With knowledge gained from this community, I think it turned out pretty well. Let me know what you all think. Appreciate any advice as well.
Here are some details.
66QT tub. 5QT WBS prepped using no cook tek. Spawned to CVG. Cased with remaining CVG at 100% colonization. Inoculated with agar culture transferred maybe 4 times or so. Cambodian Variety.
Fruited near a window for natural light. There is an A/C vent nearby with a cover pointing the airflow in the opposite direction when it comes on.
I didn't like prepping this WBS. Maybe because there was so much crap in it. I looked for a place to get Rye grain after that. The Rye was incredibly easy to prep. The next jars will be spawned in a few days and will be AA+, I can't wait!
Anyway, here are some pics. Spawned June 21 Cased and fruited June 26 Harvested July 8th and morning of 9th

     
The next morning

Thanks for your time!

looks like a great yield. i'd like to see pics of how your second flush goes. I always just twist and pluck and i noticed it looked like you cut them at the base with an xacto, i'd like to see how that differs in the long run

I'd like to see as well. It just seemed that too much of the sub was coming up when twisting and pulling, for my liking. Or maybe I suck at it, opted for the alternate.

Ok so I guess since I started the thread, I'll update with the second flush. I think I'm gonna ditch the sub now and make way for a new set of jars that are just about ready.
I just misted the tub after the first flush.

I'm impressed. Did you use any characteristic to select the mycelium or just pick one? I have MS Cambos going and they look nice but the rate of growth is variable depending on the location.

I just selected the fastest growing mycelium to be honest. Transferred until I had a more even growth. Started from spores.

Wow. I'm just getting into Agar. That seems like some pretty good genetics for only transferring 4 times. I guess maybe that's not typical?? Either way I'm impressed and I hope I have just as good of luck when I transfer my Agar to grain.
Nice job!

Maybe I just got really lucky with the transfers. I'm definitely not an expert with agar.
