Cams 1st monotub 2

Hello Shroomery, and welcome to my 1st attempt at a full size monotub  I’m dedicating a thread for this as I expect to have a lot of questions along the way, or at least will be asking for a lot of reassurance on how things are looking and instead of clogging up General discussion, I can document my grow here. Going from 6qt shoeboxes to a 58qt monotub So to start: I am going to be running a Rustywhyte clone I have ran this culture in shoeboxes once so far.  I inoculated 4 pints of wbs via A2G on 1/15/2020 (the yellow is just a reflection, and the pint in the back was shook just before the pic )I am going to run four 58qt modified monotubs, dialed in with Pastywhyte's Easy Micropore Dialed Monos Each tub will get 4 quarts of spawn and 8 quarts of sub.
- For the expansion, I am going 1:4 pints-quarts
- WBS master to Oat receiving jars
Oats were hydrated by bringing water to a boil, then pouring over oats and covering. Let steep for 45mins, then drained and left to dry for about 16 hours (?) (Drained at 1:00am and I won’t be home to load jars and PC until 5:30pm)

They should be good and dry when I get home to PC. Jars are modified plastic lids with SFD filter  Post PC  The Expansion:Receiving jars were marked A-D to keep track of the 4 masters. This should allow me to see if things go bad, if it was spawn or technique Pretty confidant that the A group (shown in video) and the D group are solid. I may have got a little restless with the B and C set, time will tell G2G day, Day 3 Now for the monotub build: I used Spitball's Monotub Tek. Got ahold of a 1.25 hole saw and went to work  **this is a quick post from work, I will be updating with more pics as they come, as well as all the questions I'm bound to have. **Piggybacking the G2G expansion, I will be doing some more LC work as well with the RW culture (want to aspirate to syringe, and use on PF style jar grow)  Noced 1/27/2020

little update, post PC oats. 2 hours at 15psi *took 2 cycles to run 20 jars last night Even with all that dry time, I am praying they are not to wet. My pint masters should be ready for expansion by this weekend.
So in the days leading up:
- I am looking for my jars to absorb any moisture still on the outside of the hulls. As well as looking for any contaminants between now and inoculating.
Most of the lids were just made, so this should let me observe that my filters are working correctly, and also that I successfully sterilized the jars.
4 days should be enough for any nastys to show they face right?

4 days sounds about right. I pooped one open by accident a little while ago and within a week it was full of death.
Glad I caught this one, I’ll be attempting a tub soon In the near future.

Gonna stack right where that trampoline is at atm and use the shelving for spawn and plates per Cron
found 2" MP tape too 
G2G expansion is going down this evening, and like an athlete taking practice swings. I usually watch this a few times before going in

stareatclouds said: Here's a quick video of how I perform G2G transfers in my SAB. All jars were wiped down once outside of the SAB and once again inside before filming. I'm used to expanding to 6 jars and went a bit light on these by accident. However, I do purposely leave some grain in the masters to sniff after.
Mistakes:
- One minor mistake I make is moving a jar out of the line barehanded from the bottom without wiping my hand before I touch the jar. I usually grab jars by the tops with the iso-towel, whoops. Not a major fuck up, but worth fixing.
- I shouldn't wipe down the master jar without securing the lid better. I usually place my index on the SFD and wipe around the rim. In the sped up intro you can see it popping open slightly twice.
Please drop any comments, especially advice or helpful criticism. While I have a very good G2G success rate, I can always get better.
Cheers!

Damn, that was a little more challenging to record then I thought I did 4 "sessions" with about 10 mins in between reloading and getting to work
This and the last went the best, but overall it was the same process repeated 4 times shown in the video
I'm labeling the receiving jars A-D so if a batch goes south I can hopefully trace it back to my technique or spawn and not left guessing if there was a pattern

I really didnt like that move with the third jar, looked like your left hand may have passed over the master jar, Otherwise it looked pretty decent.
A few pointers: 1. Get all your jars in place, so you dont have to move them around as much 2. Fully loosen the receiving jar lids before opening the master jar 3. Hold the lids from the edges and move them a little more clear before pouring, 4. Hold the master jar from the bottom instead of the sides so when you pour the hand isnt over your receiving jar at all.

I really appreciate the feedback! that 3rd jar...lid got kinda stuck on me there.
Great call-out on where I am grabbing the master from, I didn't think twice about that
pointers well received, thanks for taking the time

3 days later the myc is leaping onto my oats  Will update with pics this evening, and I promise not to keep showing you a slow progression of colonizing jars lol
1 jar in the "C" batch that ironically got the most donors grain is actually not recovering well. WBS hasn't fluffed back up in comparison to the other 15 jars
If it ends up as a loss, I do have a colonized RW quart that I was going to fridge while this project rolls and expand after. But I might use it in place of the lost "C" jar if she doesn't pull thru

3 days is a long time for recovery. I like to see a light fuzz after 24 hrs and fully engulfed and spreading (if its a g2g or 15% from a2g) by day 3

jars are temp reading around 68-70 degrees, assuming the lower (if you even wanna call that lower) temps may have slowed things down a little.
My offhand depiction of them may not fully do what a picture can, I could see the fuzz the following day, just noting that last night I seen the myc threads and they are leaping onto the oats.
I expect to see some patches when I get home this evening, and will take some pics may even ask the GF snap a few while I go on lunch here in a min

Anyone care to chime in on their experience with G2G time frames?
Today I am positive the 1 "C" jar in question is indeed toast. I'll be sure to watch the other 3 from that batch, but given that the rest all are looking good (afaik...see post above for yesterdays pic) I have to assume it was a big flaw on my technique with that particular jar.
I am hoping to see 100% by Sunday with rest
