Alright alright nothing's "impossible" lol, did not think of floating the substrate.
What i meant was i had to pull it out of the tub before and the sub can break

Wish I could say I had never done that. A couple weeks ago...
Lol. Stupid part was that I floated it and *then* broke it. Dont ask. It was dumb.

Thats why its good to place a liner and easily pull it out! Been there, broke a sub in half, it did fruit very nicely still but i had a fragmented tub lol. Thankfully it didnt break into pieces. That also happened once.
What i notice is without a liner it kinda sticks to the bin, almost growing into it. It gets stuck to the plastic. Ive never thought of floating it before, but the whole reason i use a liner is mostly so it doesnt break
Sidepins arent ideal but i really have no issue with them. Just when its a huge tub. With minis its no prob at all.

I unlatched the lid when I saw the 2nd flush pins and gave them a mist,then let them go at it alone. 
Came back to this.
 
The only hydration from 1st to 2nd flush was the "float" and the one mist when I popped the lid.
The lid stayed on from 1st flush harvest to 2nd flush.
Just another example of how versatile and forgiving these shoeboxes (and mushrooms)are.

Hey everybody,
I’m a n00b here and have picked up a curiosity for Mycology later than most probably do (assuming most got into in late adolescence/early adulthood) I’m 31 and have a lot of daily responsibilities but I’ve got to have something for me and this has become it. I have inoculated a couple “pre-made rye bags” w/ 2.4cc of Golden Teacher. That was 6/15 and now on 7/23 I am so thrilled to say I will be harvesting, in my uneducated guess 2 weeks but, I’m sure there are plenty who are more qualified to answer that. After sacrificing one bag to the yard and seeing how Mother Nature would handle the contamination (consequence of my laziness) and learning from my arrogance, I was able to maintain (1) out of (2) bags, which is what I will be harvesting (fingers crossed).
Out of impatience, before mixing this colonized rye w/ substrate I inoculated 2 other Myco-bags, which are colonizing nicely. I am going to start PFTEK when this harvest is done and I have more time available.
Okay, so let’s get to it-
I needed low maintenance as possible so, I sort of mixed a couple TEKs. It’s shoeboxes w/ a splash of unBODified tub for Colonization of substrate/FC, but literally flipped upside-down. I took the lid off the *70qt tub, flipped it upside-down, creating a humidity dome for the Shoeboxes.
I have the lightbulb recommended for growing, as well as an air pump/bubbler for an aquarium w/ new tubing blowing air into the “dome”. This is all in my basement where it stays consistently in the tub, 69-72F 98-99% RH. I misted them tonight only bc the substrate seemed a tiny bit dry but I took the tub off the shoeboxes in order for them to breathe. And they also have the air pump/bubbler blowing air 24/7 w/ a 12/12 light cycle. The CFL bulb allows me to place the light directly on bottom of tub(while it’s flipped upside-down).
I had to improvise w/ my limited resources but am really looking forward to starting PFTEK and getting a better grasp on this whole thing. Then, hopefully, agar- with lots more questions. Peace and love
If there is anything you think I should change about my setup or look into for future investment? Please let me know!
Thanks for taking the time to read/scan through my post.

The base is about the same as a shoe box but tall enough to accommodate tall fruits.

This is a great TEk. I only had a pint of rye spawn so I cased with a half inch of 50/50 and put it straight into “fruiting” on 7/30. I also show a possible lighting setup below.
I have misted twice a week and have a RH of 95% .On 08/07 this is what it looks like.
Thanks for another great TEK man.cheers

This tek is fantastic. I started with your Oats recipe Bod. Tiger dropped into the jars and at 7 days had full colonization. I made 3 shoeboxes. 2 are 1:1 spawn:coir and 1 is 1:2 spawn:coir. I decided they looked good enough to fruit, took off the lids, took a picture, and put grocery bags with small pinholes over them. Hoping to have my first fruits soon!

Very cool Ginge. I am going to try mixing with coir next instead of casing. I got some race horse oats in the PC as we speak using BODS OATS TEK. You colonization looks really nice good luck man.

I'm gonna do a shoebox of Pan Bisporus as soon as this grain colonizes. I'll post some results here. I'm sure it will work.

@audiosnipez ditch the RH meter and never worry about RH% again

That’s just overkill huh? If it’s not needed I will bust it out when I’m curious some time. Thanks brotatoechips. It’s one of the nice cigar ones I saw Roger Rabit using on his SGFC.

If you enjoy your RH meter then by all means keep using it... but your enjoyment would be its only purpose. They don't provide any useful data really...

Thank you. That colonization was after 48 hours of spawn and coir substrate mix. The jars were given 6 days post 100% colonization. In my experience Golden Teacher is what I would recommend to all new or struggling mycologists, in my environment at least, it has proven to out perform Treasure Coast and it's colonization times seem to hit the low side of estimates, like 5-7 days, GT is done in 5.
I will be adding 4 or 5 new strains to my agar work this week so will have a more experienced and educated opinion on GT's seemingly aggressive growth. Also interesting that side by side, from MS, GT and TC are performing so differently, I mean if a cube is indeed a cube. GT occasionally starts out tomentose after a transfer but seems to go rhizo within 48 hours of visible growth. TC has fully colonized pasty plates but the growth has appeared to my naked eye to be tomentose entirely. I just find these things interesting, and hope some reader out there does too.

You guys dont dubtub or close the tubs at all? Just the shopping bags? Sounds easy and awesome
Ive always done the whole tub thing with full pasteurization cause that was what was i was taught. I just recently had a successful tub with just the boiling water method, i think i just followed recipes without checking enough for field capacity and things like that.
So no more spending 2 hrs on pasteurization, yay.

No need for the top tub just use a plastic bag. Good way to go if you need more tubs and it’s just to ez. to not try man.
