Hi, long time reader, for a while my free time was occupied with much of the literature over at the nexus, but i think it's time to try my hand at a different type of project.
I'll be following frank's bulk mono tub tek: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19792837/fpart/1/vc/1
And using pastyplates for agar: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19208976/fpart/1/vc/1
I have my closet set up as such


I taped shampoo'd and vacuum'd the carpet and let it dry for a few days before vacuuming it again and taping the plastic down, and I kinda went crazy putting plastic over most of the sliding door opening so there's only one entrance on the left side. Not sure if that was necessary, or even harmful to the overall goal, so let me know if you guys see any glaring issues. The tubs I intend for the mono's can stack 4 high and 2 wide so maybe i could move to that with practice, but for now I just want to run the 2 to refine my techniques.
Regarding Agar: My goal would be to isolate a strain with fast "rhizomorphic" growth, but in transferring from plate to plate, I feel that I won't have any idea about the fruiting characteristics of that substrain until I grow it out, but don't want to use a whole tub to fruit out each strain to see.
In a couple of posts I've seen people just fruiting 2 strains next to each other on a pie dish, or a plate. I just wasn't sure how to go about that, maybe refine on agar, then colonize 2 - 1/2pint jars of wbs, and then just dump the spawn on to the plate? or is there a better method.
I suppose the dream is identify strong mycelium growth, fruit out a few strains, clone the absolute bestest mushroom from the substrain that shows the best pinset, and then bulk grow from that dna.
Am I too far ahead of myself? Can anyone point to a tek in which they fruit out small amounts of each strain?
My 2 strains at the moment are cube-penis envy and cube-ecuadorian

I'm not sure if you already bought the tubs, looks like you did at least 2. Consider also doing some shoeboxes, they are smaller, which means that you have less eggs in one basket and you can run more different grows at the same time.
