How’s my mono tub looking?

Third mono tub here, first one I did was a success with 8+ flushes and second one got a trich contam, not sure if it was from too much moisture or just un-sterile conditions but for this one I’ve been wiping the sides of the tub whenever I see there is a lot of moisture build up, is this a good idea?
I also have another grain bag going and it’s now fully colonized just have to find the time to spawn to bulk, but I noticed some yellowing in areas of the bag.. I’m pretty sure this is normal and referred to as myc piss? I’ll take some pics if needed

Metabolites are nothing to worry about your tub looks okay

Leave the moisture on the sides of the tubs, it helps with relative humidity, and it will give you a decent read on how hydrated the tub is. The walls should be covered in a thin, fog-like mist of water. If they are dry, your sub is probably dry. If they are covered in big droplets, your sub is probably wet.
The yellow is metabolites and definitely something to worry about. You will still get fruits, but the metabolites are telling you that your spawn was not 100% clean, leading to lower yields.

So it’s been about two weeks I think since spawning my tub, about 3 days since fully colonized and no signs of pinning. I have the lid flipped and lightly misted it once or twice, surface is covered in little tiny droplets. I’ve heard people saying you want them to dry up and then mist? But I’m my experience it just dried out my substrate and ultimately prolonged fruiting even more.. any tips on getting these guys to pop?

Looks good. Just wait, they will come. I wouldn't mist anymore, it looks pretty damp in there. What variety is that?

Thanks, Mycology really teaches you some patience haha and these are golden teachers. My other grow was cubensis Burma so I’m really looking forward to seeing if there’s any differences in appearance or trip experience

Jesus Christ 8 flushes... that’s crazy! How big were your fruits and was the harvest worth holding on them that long?

It was well worth keeping the tub going! I didn’t have any other grows going at the time so it was as simple as just harvesting, soaking it for a day, then in a week I would have more fruits and I just kept going!

The second picture was first flush, first picture was second or third, third picture was fourth flush and the last picture was the 8th, which was a complete surprise as I forgot about the tub and went to go clean it out to start the grow that I have now and saw some monsters in there!!

Just curious do remember the difference in yield weights from flush 1 to flush 8?

My first flush was about 40 grams and I remember the second and third being around 17 or 18 grams. I don’t think I weighed out the rest of the flushes also didn’t take any pictures but there was usually only around 5-6 big full grown mushrooms from flush 5 and up. I think around a qtr each time
