I'm guessing by 8 jar, you mean 8 jars of spawn. Earlier verum mentioned "depth equal water available when sub is properly hydrated" what does that mean? I've heard 4 inch depth is kind of the rule of thumb I thought. Is sub depth one of those loosey goosey things that you just have to get a feel for?

3-4 inches is good for mono tubs. 4-6qts spawn + 1brick coir + 2qt verm puts you right around 3-4 inches in a 66qt tub.

Depends on your tub. Mine is 2.5-3”.

Add water to a tub to the desired level, measure the amount of water then work from that number

Verum, I like where you going with cloning. How did you select the fruits to clone - by size?

That's actually a really good question. How do you decide which mushroom to clone, and how do you decide which part of the agar to copy? The thickest ropiest part? The fattest shroom? Straightest? Quickest to pop up and pop open? What do experienced growers look for for signs of quality?

It depends what you are trying to accomplish. Sometimes a clone is taken for it's unique appearance. Phenotypes are fun to isolate when you find a cool one. In general though, we clone from the fastest growing, prettiest, thickest, clusteringest mutha fuckin lady around. It's a lot like pickin up girls at the bar. Just look around, find the one you'd like to have thousands of, rip her in half and put a tiny piece of flesh on agar. Don't drink too much when making this decision because it may in fact change the rest of your life.

Thank you very much verum, yet again you come through with some serious practical knowledge and explanations. You should make your title "educates with sass" man, haha. Between this and learning what to look for in agar culturing, I'm feeling pretty confident. Hopefully in a month or so I will be posting pics of some beautiful monotub, or at least the bonfire I make out of the subs If they go bad haha

Have fun trying to burn moist coir. I'd advise starting a compost pile. "Educates with sass"... I like it.

Good genetics and PERFECT growing conditions..
it's impossible to know the genetics your working with without perfect grow environment. most of the information available give no parameters on what makes the condition perfect.
It took me years to realize stale basement air would completely destroy grow potential, opening windows don't cut it. It's ok for one or two tubs, but try 10 monotubs, it's a must i pump fresh air from outside.
I also experienced a year of growing in a high carbon monoxide environment -carbon monoxide does something very interesting to your fruits.. makes the flesh pourus as if it's being burned.
i would love to buy a air probe to stick in my monotub, would love to get official measurements on air pressure, and fresh air ppm parameters. I do think that such very easily collected technical information is essential, but it's not available to us amatuer growers.

Is the fresh air constantly pumped in or is it on a timer, what %rh do you try and keep your space at

I modified a window with good duct work and one of those can fans usually used for marijuana grows, these force tons of outide air into room with excellent positive pressure. don't know the rh -likely about 50/ with one humidifier going.. i have 2 humidifiers, one cycled on and off/ the other is always -low or high settings depend on the time of year.
best test is spraying monotub wall with water, measure the amount of time it takes for water to competely evaporate.. this will give you an idea on how to cycle humidifier. I adjust the cycled humidifier so that the monotub walls become coated with water droplets by the time it cycles off again.
