Everybody
Here are some pics of my 1st (small) monotub on day 12 since since putting in the grain / horse dung. Looks to me like a good amount of rhyzomorphic growth with some spots of tometose mycelium. Hoping to see some pins in the next few days. Any comments welcome thanks.

Thanks Axis yeah hoping for some pins soon. This is a really nice GT strain. I collected 4 good prints from my 1st grow with this strain, want to use that to start agar work to isolate and refine.

Agreed. Very beautiful mycelium and rhizos. What are the dimensions of the tub and what kind of patches did you put for air exchange?
Follow up with some pin pics when you get them!

Looks good but I'd like to suggest something.
I'm not sure if I'm seeing this correctly, Is the liner taped to the side of the tub ?
If so, you should remove it for two reasons. 1.) The condensation will roll from your walls onto the substrates surface and pool. 2.) You want the liner to shrink with your substrate to prevent a micro climate and side pinning.

Thanks guys - 24 it's a pretty small tub, 16 qt. It's 1 lb of rye grain to 2.5 lbs horse dung. I'll get some measurements from the tub. I used filter patches from a couple grow bags I had. 8 holes @ 0.5" four holes at surface level and 4 up higher.
Th thanks for the input. This is my 1st mono so any input on dialing in is appreciated!

I'd agree. I used to try all sorts of outside ways to block light on tubs, but it isn't all the effective. The opaque plastic shrinking with the substrate is ideal and makes or an easier clean-up. If you have issues with the plastic when spawning, use painters tape to hold up and then remove. Then do 30 tubs in 6 hours and repeat, lol... Cheers

It's fun at first, then an angry pirate-hooker that wakes you up at 4am for bus money back to east detroit.

OK update on this (small) monotub. My 1st monotub. So above you saw it at day 12. Here is the pic from day 17. I got a decent flush of GT, but need to improve my technique to get a more even and abundant pin set. Any ideas? Thanks!
