Monotub Log - 2 Weeks In

So I'll skip the MS grain prep, all standard but used hard red winter wheat berries, super easy to work with, lids are self explanatory. I just prepped two tubs with 50/50 tek, I'd say my tubs look pretty clean I inoculated these 12 jars on 2/25, and the other 12 that I'm spawning to bulk tomorrow on 2/24 (shook too early, so they are finishing a couple days behind.)
Ratio is roughly 1:1.5, 6 jars of spawn per tub, 66 quart tubs.

I will post updates once the first tub is colonized! It's stored in the darkness and not going to peak at it until day 10. 
Edit: Fixed dates, meant the week before.

Here are my four tubs tucked away

Also, one of these jars were suspect to me. I have no true reason to believe it was a bad jar, but after one came out of the pressure cooker it "released some pressure" and made an interesting noise. So I marked it to watch for contams. It colonized fine just like the other jars, but still I did not want to chance it. So the second set of tubs are made with 5.5 jars each instead of 6. The remaining jar I decided to split into 6 mini jars just to get a few extra fruits. (didn't have a 2 liter or anything to repurpose for a mini tub). I also have it isolated from the tubs.

So, here we are 9 days after spawning to bulk 50/50 Coir/Verm. Tons of hyphal knots and primordia began forming so I figured it was go-time on FC. Rate my setup! Humidifier is evaporative with a strong fan, so keeping RH in the room at 65%, bathroom is smallish so the fan will provide plenty of FAE. Also, I know this isn't needed but I saw a cheap timer at Home Depot and decided to grab it and run 12/12 with two 6500K CFL bulbs. 4 bottom holes stuffed tight, 2 top holes very loose. Will monitor to see if I need to do any misting over the next few days but I think this setup should be plenty efficient if not overkill.
Tub 1:

Tub 2:

Evaporative Humidifier w/ Humidistat. Also have analog hygrometer in the room to see how accurate the one on the humidifier is:

My timer (2 grounded outlets):

And the lights, held up by a skateboard because I have nothing on hand at the moment. Might find something else later to use:

Rate please thanks!

Hmmm pretty nice looking on goings ya got there. Looks very familiar to the path I walked. Especially when you speak of stuffing lower ports tight and uppers looser. I eventually just went with the 3M 3" Micropore 1530-3 tape. You can just put it on when you mix them up and leave it on through the whole process. No colonization and birthing and such, just set and forget.

Thanks. We'll see how the results go. This is the first time I waited for hyphae and primordia to form before putting into FC. Hoping I get a nice even pinset, which looks to be the case based on what I am seeing in the subtrate.

I'm thinking they'll go boom. Just make sure they're getting enough free air exchange and I think it'll put on a show

Should be good with this evaporative humidifier, the fan on it is pretty strong and blows upwards. With the size of the room it should be providing ample FAE.
