TheDuder's Golden Teacher Cubensis Monotub Grow

First Monotub Grow (Golden Teacher Cubensis) Hey everyone this is my first grow, I thought I would try putting trays into a mono tub rather than putting the substrate right in the bottom of the tub. Let me know what you guy think.
11/15/16
 I inoculated three BRF jars on the 15th of last month and waited for them to fully colonize. Temps stayed around 80-85 °F through out colonization.
12/13/16
 Then I broke up the fully colonized cakes into two trays and added pasteurized substrate to both. I mixed the mycelium into the substrate thoroughly, put the lids back on the trays and closed the tub.
12/19/16
 A week later they are looking like this. (I realized at this time I forgot to put the liner at the bottom of the trays, but its all about Trial and error) I took the lids off the trays, stuffed the holes with polyfill, put the lid back on the monotub and now we wait.
12/19/16
12/19/16 T1. T2. Here is a close up of the Trays, I blotted the water after I took this picture.
12/22/16 T1. T2. Knotting has started.
12/24/16 T1. T2. More knotting.
12/26/16 T1. T2.

Looks perfect. I'd put that into fruiting now. I see water and some enzymes/metabolites, which is normal.

Thanks man I just put the polyfill in today and turned off the heat source I had for the colonization process. I hope they start pinning soon, I can't wait!

What is your heat source if you don't mind me asking?

I have been looking around on this site for some time. I singed up a couple of months ago I thought I should. I am glad you started this thread because I was thinking of doing this myself. I have 10 jars that are a little over a week old. They all look good for now with some growth started. I will be glad to see how you do as I am a month behind you right now. And this is also my first grow. Hope it turns out great for you. I was wondering how often you mist and fan when fruiting. I will keep an eye out to see how it goes for you.

Hey guys, right now the tub is getting light from the overhead light in my room as well as from my chameleon terrarium sitting right next to the mono tub. I was wondering If I should hang up a 30w CFL above the tub or if the light I have now is enough?

Cowboycat, from what I've read you shouldn't need to mist or fan for as least the first flush if not two in a mono tub.

You can use that light....
I use something like this
https://www.google.com/search?q=6500k+light&safe=off&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjAos3ajIPRAhUM5YMKHV0vBSEQ1TUIaQ&biw=1600&bih=789#spd=3049689978512751439
get yourself a digital timer and have it 12 on 12 off...
in general i think every one agrees that 6500k is the best, but others will work.

The uv from the reptile light is going to encourage deformities in the fruits. I would distance the tub from the reptile myself.
I used to keep chameleons and snakes, they are cool.

Thanks, that light fixture was for the ceramic heat bulb i used for colonization. I Just swapped it out for the 30W Daylight CFL bulb and turned it on. Ill look for a timer, i have tons around my house. 
I will try to work out a new space for the tub to go but I might not be till next grow as I'm working with limited space right now. The tub will get moved as soon as I can

Those are knots and you never have to take a pic through the lid. Just open it up, air is good for mushrooms.

Hey everyone, Just thought I would show you all an updated pic of the tray. Its been 5 days now since I started the fruiting process. is this a normal rate of growth for the knots? there are quite a few knots now, when do they start swelling up on average? sorry for getting antsy, I'm excited 
Tray 1

Tray 2

Ill keep you all updated as they start to form.

Sweeet! Super anxious to see what other peeps say. I literally was about to post a thread asking if anyone could point out the knots(if any) in my first tray. Here's a picture of it from this morning:
 This is my tray's 6th day in the fruiting process. Looks like our trays are following a similar schedule ha.
Good luck! Post pictures daily if you can. I wanna see em as they form too!
