Damn you’re good! Based off previous grows I’ll get about 8% of wet weight which comes out to 3.7 lol

Yes i did, although I didn’t pasteurize that little amount. Just stole some from a brick I used for the mono

The beer I can do but I’ll leave the handjob for someone else!
Digital handshake Bodhi, the common sense of your teks is what made me use them. Much appreciated!
Also I’m done with ms to grain after my most recent nocd up jars ALL contaminated...agar all day from now on.

First flush in the 32qt mono. 761g wet

This is the first time I’ve used the tubs specified in bods Unmodified mono tek. I didn’t have to mist much with this tub, it basically took care of itself 👍

Thanks papa man, I should’ve cloned it or at least took a spore print but life got in the way lol. I have a third mono colonizing now and I think it’ll be a good one 😁 I’ll update with pics.

No, it really isn't. I've noticed significant differences in bricks of coir, even from the same brand. How stable do you think quality control is when reptile bedding comes with grain, garbage, stick, rocks, and straw mixed in? My last bricks of EcoEarth seem much less "compacted" and uniform than usual, including big chunks of longer fibers leftover. And the same volume of water I've used for years to the same recipe of CVG now leaves my sub far beyond field capacity, nearing sopping wet.
You seem to have a bad habit of speaking matter-of-factly on issues that are either subjective in nature or when you're just flat-out wrong. In a hobby where dozens of simultaneously occurring variables drastically change each grower's situation, you sure are quick to conflate your personal experience (also known as opinion) with fact. Do your thing, but you're never too experienced to Google shit and second-guess yourself.

Also, excellent tubs, Sparky. As you know, tons of factors go into your pinset/yield, from level surface, proper field capacity, surface conditions, etc. And you should always strive for optimal conditions. But keep in mind that some cultures just aren't going to give you canopies, no matter what. Just keep taking/fruiting clones til you get desired results and run with those cultures. Also note that a lone big mushroom is likely to have different performance than cloning from a large, dense cluster. I've personally only cloned a lone big fruit once (back when I first started and naturally assumed it was optimal) so my experience is limited, but I remember the yield being poor overall. Since then, I've only cloned from clusters (and often early, before the mushroom reached maturity) and have experienced solid yields. As a general rule, you want a culture that has expanded as little as possible (less cell divisions). But cloning mature fruits from the 2nd flush can work, as can cloning a clone. Read up on senescence for more information and tie in keywords like "cell division", "cloning clusters" for specific information. Cheers, bro. Stick around!

Thanks clouds, I’m sure I’ll be here a while as there’s always something new to learn! Your advise is duly noted and I was thinking the same thing about cloning. Yeah it was a big cube but that doesn’t mean by cloning it I’ll get all huge boomers.
Pic of my third mono, 50ish qt tub with 10qts spawned to 1 brick coir. Day 6 of colonization.
