@bluemushies thank you so much! I'm praying it'll turn out well lol I'm going for a ~75qt monotub for my first run.



Please for the love of God if u want mushie don't do this. Its ur first time ever. U put spores straight to grain. Which at best is risky. Spores to grain is a gamble so all the jar COULD look good but if one is not u will loose the whole lot! Please take my advice and look into shoeboxes! U can add only 1 or 2 jars to each to better ur chances of getting mushrooms! If one goes south then u will still have 4+ more... I'm telling u, I have been down this exact road when I started out, it did not end good for me... Its a bad idea and anyone who says its a good idea isn't experienced enough... And honestly u will get the same amount of mushies no matter what tub u spawn in.

That jar will probably finish 24 to 72 hours at 75 to 80 degrees depending on how aggressive it is.

I can't agree with you enough. I wouldn't suggest anyone go larger than a 20 quart tub until they are working with a clone or isolated strain and have learned the difference between clean jars and grain swamps.

Hope I have the same luck with at least one of mine! Also have a few BRF, WOF, and agar plates going.

Looks great! I agree with Joey. Bulk in a shoebox with coir and get a clone of a big fruit or two, or a tight healthy cluster on agar.

I think your grain moisture content was spot on imo. Are you directly heating your substrate? I’ve always heard it’s better to keep the ambient temps where you need rather than direct heating.

It's currently sitting on top of another empty tub with the lid flipped, exposed to whatever temps my room is so ~70 degrees farenheit to maybe 73/74 at times the central air hasnt ran

Looks good man I've had no trouble with ms to grains your looking right on track. Also I'm gonna suggest shoe boxes as well I know you already started but for the first few times with grains don't put all your eggs in one basket.

For sure I understand but I had 3 qt jars and several pt jars and I decided to throw a qt and a pt in a 15qt tub, 2 inch sub with ratios I stated above, so honestly it seemed like a good grain to sub ratio to me at the time, I still have more qt jars consolidating and I'm up to my ears in coir and verm and tubs so I didnt really mind if something happened to this tub but it's going well (knock on wood)

Yeah your good I was kinda referring to before you mentioned like a 72qt tub or something but you didn't dump everything in one box that's all I'm saying good luck you should be fine.

Oh for sure I saw what could go wrong and how cocky and dumb that was to try for the first run, tbh if all my jars would have been at the same pace I would have (now I know is dumb to assume especially off a syringe) so I decided on multiple small grows before a big bulk
