4 66qt tubs colonizing :D

well, this year has been a mess overall. i ended up letting my jars sit for 4-5 months before using them for tubs. they were so dried up, they barely broke up in the jars. not to mention the fact that i had 4 strains total in 40 quart jars, and they got mixed up like mad.
SO, i ended up doing 4 66qt monotubs just last week. i did 2 the first day, and 1 yesterday, 1 today. i wasnt expecting much since they were such old jars, but the 2 i did last week are fully colonized and are consolidating for a few more days before i set them into fruiting! i used 6 quart jars per tub, so they are colonizing FAST!
one downside, or possible downside, is the fact that i dont know which strain is which. the jars got massively mixed up during a divorce process i went through with the ex-wife. she shoved all the jars into random boxes and i have no idea what is what. theres a good chance ill have a tub with 4 strains in one lol. im actually a bit excited about the possibilities though!
i missed my chance to G2G the jars but they seem to be doing well in the tubs so far. im going to take pictures once i put the 2 into fruiting, and hopefully the other two will be ready in a week or two as well.
im going to make 2 more tubs this week for a total of 6-66qt monotubs. this will be my biggest grow to date!
i also tried to make some pasty plates.. i made 16 plates, but they arent taking off at all. i think maybe the myc was too dry and old, contams will be taking over soon i imagine(day 4 and no myc growth, 4 are already contam'd). with this in mind, i cant imagine my tubs are un-contam'd either. they definitely have bacteria if nothing else. i expect at least 1 or 2 flushes per tub, but not much more. i wanted the agar to give at least SOME clean growth so i could transfer out and continue more jars.. otherwise ill have to wait till i have some mushies to print/transfer from i suppose.
at the very least, the process is back in motion! wish me luck, and sorry for the long ass post haha
edit - i DO however, have one more MS syringe left. ill probably start more jars this weekend, and do G2A and G2G with those. im looking to start an ongoing process of growth if at all possible. im finally in a place where i have the time to invest on this project, and im doing everything i can to get it in place!
edit 2 - updating this with pics. i forgot i started a grow log at the start of all this too. damn its been a fucked up year. im going to update that as well.

update: 2 tubs going into fruiting NOW, looking GOOD 
i also mis-diagnosed my agar plates lol. all 16 are showing what looks to be nice mycelial growth! what i THOUGHT was contam was just concentrated agar it seems(darker section of agar). at the moment, all 16 plates look ready for a transfer.. im going to make a new thread to post pictures tomorrow.
this is my first time working with agar so i wasnt sure what to look for at first. hopefully i can get some input on where to transfer from!
edit -pictures tomorrow, i promise. will update my grow log since its about time. hoping to get back into this with a STRONG start
