Are my monotubs doing okay? Yellowish liquid on the bulk substrate and it is also cracked.

This is the 2nd time I have checked my monotubs. The first time I checked, after 6 days, I noticed small water droplets (or almost very tiny puddles) that were colorless and the substrate was not cracked. The second time I checked, after 8 days, I noticed the water has turned slightly yellow and the bulk substrate has cracked more. What should I do? Does everything look okay?

Preferably I rather not open my tub again. Isn't it bad to do it too often? It is a palish yellow that isn't opaque. What is 'mycelium pee'?

I took better pictures of the yellow water. Should I put tape over some of the holes in my tub and mist?

I understand it's a different website, but I am not the type to frequent either one of these websites and I did not realize there was a, "We are better!" war between Shroomery and Shroomology. Anyways, instead of just telling me what I did was shit, can you explain exactly what is wrong? Can you answer any of my questions?

What you did isn't shit per say it's just not the best method. Your substrate looks dry hence the cracking. I would say you have to many poly stuffed holes. I don't even drill holes or use poly in my monotubs anymore because while it works, it's not really necessary for good results. Tape up two of the three holes on the long sides and just leave the one in the middle. Stuff the polyfil VERY tight, as tight as possible on the bottom holes and just medium tight on the top holes. Mist your sub until it glistens with little droplets (not pools) of water. The yellow liquid is metabolites and is harmless but usually means your mycelium is fighting some kind of bacteria. Nothing you can do about that really.
Lighten up dude and don't get butthurt if we diss your setup it's all in good fun and we will help you.

Oh and ditch the foil, it's pointless to have it there.

There isnt a war we are better that tek you posted fucking proves it  The yellow is probably metabolites from your myc battling contamination.

as hard as it is not to be childish and go 'shroomery is better everything else is shit'..but most everything else is shit.
from the outside point of view shroomery sucks because
-the members are abrasive and 'old timers are set in their ways'
set in ways to grow hundreds if not thousands of pounds of shrooms?..ill take it. some abrasive members?? im a big boy breaking the law. i can handle the internet. im an adult. ive used it since 1993
ill take that over the pussies at mycotopia or the ancient/unproven and youtube fueled shit show of shroomology.
